Labubu x FIFA Is Coming: A First Look at the 2026 World Cup Collection

Big Crossover Coming Soon: Labubu Teams Up with FIFA for World Cup Collection

Recently, Pop Mart’s top IP Labubu (The Monsters) will launch an official collaboration with FIFA, and the whole line is themed around the 2026 North America World Cup. Labubu has won millions of fans worldwide for its cute and quirky look. This crossover with the world’s top sports IP breaks the gap between toys and sports, and it becomes one of the most expected collabs in early 2026. According to reliable leaks from insiders and social media, this collab is in its final preparation. The official announcement and release date will be out very soon. The whole collection is designed around the World Cup pitch theme. It’s great for collecting, playing and daily use, so it fits toy collectors, football fans and young shoppers alike. This collab uses the theme "Catch the Win". Labubu is re-made into an energetic football player. It keeps its iconic pointy ears and playful face, and adds lots of football-themed details. Based on leaked product photos and drafts, here are the top highlights:

1) Main item: vinyl + plush medium doll

The main doll uses a vinyl + plush build. The vinyl face looks sharp and clear, and the plush body feels soft. So it works well for display, and it also feels good to hold. It is said to use a deep blue color, plus a pitch-style jersey and a matching knit scarf. The shorts show the classic number 10, which is a clear nod to football legends. The doll also holds a mini gold World Cup trophy, and it shows both brand logos on the chest. Because it is the key item, it may also be the fastest to sell out.

2) A full set of extras for daily life

Besides the main doll, the collab is expected to include more practical items, such as:

• Blind box series
• Portable items like a football-shaped mini bag and a co-branded earphone pouch
• Limited hangtag: a small vinyl + plush hangtag doll The design across the line looks consistent. Also, the colors are bright, so the items stand out in photos and in real life.

Release time: likely May to June 2026, with global sales

Based on the World Cup schedule and Pop Mart’s usual timing, this set may drop around May to June 2026. That way, it can catch the early World Cup buzz. Right now, Pop Mart and FIFA have not shared full sales details. So the final date, price, and stock rules will depend on the official post. It is still a good idea to follow both official accounts, because updates may come fast. Labubu is one of Pop Mart’s best sellers, and limited items often go up in price later. FIFA and the World Cup have a huge global fan base. So this collab can pull in both collectors and football fans. As the World Cup gets closer, demand may rise even more. Because of that, the main limited items may sell out quickly, and resale prices may also climb. We will keep watching for official news. And once the details are confirmed, we will update the release info, product photos, and buying tips.
