Video: Here’s a look at eFootball Kick-Off, Konami’s offline spin-off, running on Switch 2
Konami has released eFootball Kick-Off, a Switch 2 exclusive that marks the first appearance of its football series on Nintendo’s latest hardware. Priced at $19.99 / £15.99, the game launches as a paid title rather than the free-to-play model used for eFootball on other platforms, instead focusing on offline gameplay experiences.
The game features a World Tour mode that sees players travel the globe competing against club teams. Defeating club teams allows players to recruit their defeated opponents’ players to their squad, building a stronger roster throughout their journey. An International Cup mode also appears in the game, configured with the same groupings as the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026.
eFootball Kick-Off represents a distinct approach to Konami’s football franchise, tailored specifically for Switch 2 with an emphasis on single-player and offline content rather than the live-service mechanics that characterize the main eFootball title. The timing of the release coincides with growing interest in the 2026 World Cup.
