Konami Announces ‘eFootball Kick-Off!’ Switch 2 Exclusive for Summer 2026

Konami is positioning the spin-off for pick-up-and-play appeal, with a World Cup–style mode to follow as DLC.

Overview

  • eFootball Kick-Off! is a standalone spin-off for Switch 2 rather than the main free-to-play eFootball available on other platforms.
  • World Tour mode lets players build a custom club, compete globally, and sign players, including legends such as David Beckham.
  • The International Cup will be released as additional downloadable content, and Konami has not said whether it will be paid or free.
  • The game includes a 6-a-side option and a Rank system, with play supported solo or with friends, offline or online.
  • The launch is scheduled to coincide with the 2026 World Cup in North America, and Konami says it is built specifically for Switch 2.
