EA FC 26 Blurs Liverpool 25-26 Kit Due to Adidas Kit Deal Starting 1 August
- Kit Blurring: EA Sports blurred Liverpool's 2025-26 home kit in the EA FC 26 trailer due to the club's new kit supplier contract with Adidas not yet being in effect.
- Adidas Contract: Liverpool's partnership with Adidas officially begins on August 1, 2025, preventing EA Sports from revealing the new kit before this date due to contractual obligations with the previous supplier, Nike.
- Kit Leaks: Despite the official blurring, the design of the Liverpool 25-26 home kit has been widely leaked, adding an amusing layer to the situation.
EA Sports has just released the official trailer for EA FC 26, and we noticed an interesting yet humorous detail: in the gameplay footage featuring Liverpool, the club's new 2025-26 home kit was intentionally blurred out. This was not a glitch, but a deliberate move dictated by the club's new kit supplier contract with Adidas.
EA FC 26 Blurs Liverpool 25-26 Kit in Trailer Video
In the game trailer, we see Liverpool's 2025-26 home kit being worn by Van Dijk, but it has been blurred. A fan commented, "Show us the new kit!", to which EA Sports replied, "Sorry, you'll have to wait."
This indicates that EA Sports has confirmed they cannot officially reveal the Adidas Liverpool 25-26 home kit yet, as the Adidas x Liverpool contract has not officially come into effect.
Innovation inspired by you in every mode.

The Reason: Adidas Deal Starts 1 August
The reason for the pixelated kit is simple: Liverpool's new partnership with Adidas does not officially begin until August 1, 2025.
Until that date, the club is still technically under contract with its previous supplier, Nike. This means that neither Liverpool nor its official partners, like EA Sports, are legally allowed to reveal or promote the new Adidas kit. As the game's trailer was released before this date, EA had to obscure the design to honor the contract terms.
The situation is made more amusing by the fact that the design of the Liverpool 25-26 home kit has been widely leaked for a long time.
