About this game
FIFA 21 Legacy Edition puts you in matches with teams from international leagues, with on-field strategy assignments and penalty practice among its football activities. Kick Off, Career Mode, licensed and custom tournaments, and Skill Games provide different ways to organise your play. Local Seasons gives nearby opponents a five-match framework and keeps track of their match statistics. The edition retains FIFA 20's Nintendo Switch gameplay features and modes, alongside updated kits and redesigned screens and menus. For local multiplayer, players can share the Joy-Con controllers. Online services have closed, so the historical online modes are no longer available.
Collected in series
FIFA is EA SPORTS’ football series built around passing moves, defensive decisions and the excitement of scoring. Across its history, careers, Ultimate Team and women’s football broadened the experience beyond individual matches.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A fit for local football rivalries if familiar Switch systems are enough.
The five-match Local Season could give a friendly rivalry a useful shape. Returning FIFA 20 players should weigh that appeal against an unchanged gameplay foundation.
Strengths
- A bounded Local Season can give repeat matches a shared goal.
- Sharing Joy-Con controllers can simplify setting up a local opponent.
Weaknesses
- Players seeking different systems from Switch FIFA 20 have little reason to expect them here.
Who it is for: Football fans who prefer nearby competition and tracking results across several matches.
Play notes: Online services have closed; historical online mode listings no longer describe usable services.
