SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The road to Miami begins. Registration is now open in the U.S. for Red Bull Wings Cup, a new EA SPORTS FC™ 27 competition giving everyday players the chance to compete for the opportunity to represent their country on a global stage like never before. *

Taking place across almost 80 countries and in partnership with EA SPORTS and PlayStation, Red Bull Wings Cup welcomes players of all skill levels to compete, whether from home or on campus. Only those who rise to the top will earn a place at their National Final for the chance to represent the U.S. at the Red Bull Wings Cup World Final at Inter Miami’s Nu Stadium in Miami, USA, in early 2027. The once-in-a-lifetime World Final will combine competitive gameplay with real-life soccer moments as finalists compete to become the inaugural Red Bull Wings Cup champion.

The journey begins when players register for one of two leagues:

• The University League – where currently enrolled university students compete on PlayStationⓇ 5 consoles in on-campus qualifiers against other students from across the U.S., playing EA SPORTS FC™ 27 Rush
• The Open League – where players can log into PlayStation Tournaments on their PlayStationⓇ 5 consoles to compete online using their own squad, playing EA SPORTS FC™ 27 Ultimate Team.

Red Bull Wings Cup is open to everyone aged 18 and over who is a current resident of the United States. See here for Official Rules. U.S. Open League Qualifiers closes on October 25, 2026, with U.S. University League Qualifiers closing on November 15, 2026.

The top players from both the Open and University Leagues will progress to their respective National Finals, with eligible National Champions earning the right to represent their country at the World Final in Miami. The USA National Final will take place in Chicago on December 4, 2026.

Beyond the tournament, limited-edition Red Bull Wings Cup cans will be launching worldwide. Each can will give eligible consumers the chance to unlock EA SPORTS FC™ 27 in-game rewards and compete to win a trip to watch the World Final in Miami, giving players even more ways to step into the Red Bull Wings Cup experience, wherever they play. **

Red Bull Wings Cup is in partnership with EA SPORTS and PlayStation® Tournaments.
