adminEA FY26 results show a year of contrasting financial trends: annual net bookings increased, while full-year net income declined. Electronic Arts credited the performance to the launch of Battlefield 6 and growth across its live services, including Apex Legends and its football games. The company also reported higher revenue and income in the final quarter of the fiscal year.

EA FY26 results: quarterly and annual figures
The figures below cover the three months and 12 months ending March 31, 2026. Comparing both periods helps distinguish the stronger final-quarter performance from the more mixed full-year results.
Fourth quarter: three months ending March 31, 2026
- Net revenue: $2.1 billion, up 12% year over year
- Net income: $461 million, up 81.5% year over year
- Net bookings: $1.86 billion, up 3.6% year over year
Full year: 12 months ending March 31, 2026
- Net revenue: $7.53 billion, up 1% year over year
- Net income: $887 million, down 20.9% year over year
- Net bookings: $8.03 billion, up 9% year over year
These measures describe different aspects of the company’s results, so they should not be treated as interchangeable. In particular, the rise in annual net bookings occurred alongside a decline in net income.
Battlefield 6, Apex Legends and football games drive highlights
EA described Battlefield 6 as the strongest-performing Battlefield title in a fiscal year, saying it set several franchise records for that period. The successful launch was a central part of the company’s account of its FY26 performance.
Global Football net bookings rose by a mid-single-digit percentage during the year. EA reported growth across EA Sports FC 26, FC Online and FC Mobile, indicating that the gains extended across multiple football titles rather than a single release.
Apex Legends recorded its strongest net bookings quarter of FY26 in Q4. EA associated the result with improving player engagement and monetization. For the full fiscal year, net bookings for Apex Legends finished up by a double-digit percentage year over year.
Company outlook and other developments
CEO Andrew Wilson credited the company’s teams and execution with delivering what EA called a record fiscal year, highlighting Battlefield 6’s launch. He also pointed to a recently completed debt process that attracted strong investor demand and said the company was continuing to engage with regulators as it looked toward completing a transaction.
In March, EA laid off an unspecified number of employees across four studios that worked on Battlefield 6. The publisher said it had made selected changes within its Battlefield organization to better align teams with community priorities. The number of affected employees was not disclosed.
EA shareholders backed a proposed $55 billion acquisition of the company. The transaction was expected to close in the first quarter of FY2027. The source report stated that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund would allegedly own more than 93.4% of the company following the deal; that figure and the transaction’s status should be checked against current official disclosures before publication.
What the EA FY26 results indicate
Overall, EA FY26 results combine annual growth in revenue and bookings with lower full-year net income, while the final quarter showed substantial year-over-year income growth. Battlefield 6 was a major performance highlight, with Apex Legends and EA’s football portfolio also contributing. Readers comparing the figures should note the difference between quarterly and annual results and check for updated company filings when assessing the proposed acquisition.
