The EA FC 25 Standard Edition cover was created using the iconic image of Bellingham -- at the Bernabéu in Real Madrid kit -- posing in his renowned celebration, nicknamed 'Belligol.'
For the EA FC 25 Ultimate Edition cover, Bellingham appears alongside Barcelona's Ballon d'Or Féminin winner Aitana Bonmatí, and football icons David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Gianluigi Buffon.

"I played this game with my brother all the time growing up, and I've always thought about how incredible it would be to one day be featured on the cover," Bellingham said.
"There have been so many iconic players on the cover over the years, and I am delighted to be the most recent English player to be bestowed with this honour since 2011.
"I'm also truly honoured to be featured on the cover of Ultimate Edition with true legends of the game both past and present in Beckham, Bonmatí, Buffon and Zidane."
