EA FC 25 Ultimate Edition cover has been revealed with five past and present stars from the men and women's game including Jude Bellingham and Aitana Bonmati.
After last year's cover celebrated stars from all around the world to mark the new era of EA Sports' popular video game franchise, this year keeps a similar theme while shrinking the total number of players to five. Jude Bellingham and Aitana Bonmati are joined by Gianluigi Buffon, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham pictured next to major honors like the Champions League, Premier League and Ballon d'Or trophies.
EA Sports continues to celebrate the women's game with Barcelona's Bonmati making her EA Sports cover debut. She joins the likes of Leah Williamson, Sam Kerr, Marta, Trinity Rodman and more as an EA Sports cover star.
Defined by silverware delivered for the club.

The standard edition cover hasn't been revealed yet, though expect Bellingham and Bonmati to be featured in some capacity. Or, EA Sports opts to just have Bellingham on the cover after it was recently leaked he would be the star this year. The developer did the same thing last year with having Haaland part of the Ultimate Edition, but as a standalone star of the standard version.
Bellingham is one of the biggest stars in the world winning LaLiga and the Champions League in his first season with Real Madrid. He's a favorite for the Ballon d'Or this year, though his summer ended in heartbreak after England was defeated in the UEFA Euro 2024 final.
Bonmati became a fan-favorite in FC 24 Ultimate Team after women were added to the game mode for the first time. The 2023 Ballon d'Or Feminin winner lifted her third Women's Champions League trophy this year with Barcelona. Ultimate Team has long served as a gateway for players to become fans and supporters of stars across the world, and women's inclusion has been a big gateway for players to become more involved with the women's game.
When is the EA Sports FC 25 reveal?
The EA Sports FC 25 reveal is scheduled for July 17. Expect this reveal to be pretty barebones in terms of game mode features for Ultimate Team. The developer has historically staggered its reveals and deep dives for certain game modes.
Though, you can expect a release date announcement during this reveal.
