LEGO recently started dipping into more sports-themed sets with the Nike collaboration last year, but it looks like the company is taking it even further in 2026 ahead of the FIFA World Cup. The LEGO Soccer Ball is now available to preorder for a whopping $129.99 and will be released on March 1, 2026. This is the second set to be revealed as part of LEGO's World Cup collaboration, with the official trophy build going up for preorder back in December.
LEGO Editions Soccer Ball Up for Preorder
The price tag may seem a bit high for what looks like a simple soccer ball at a glance, but there's thankfully more to it than that. The ball itself is an actual 1:1 recreation of the size 5 ball used in the official matches. Inside of the ball there's a mini-stadium celebration scene that features fireworks and a small golden trophy in the center. According to the specifications, the roundness of the ball is achieved by including LEGO Technic elements, which is also what allows the whole set to open up.
The full build is made up of 1,498 pieces and is approximately 8.5" x 8.5" x 8.5" once fully put together. Although the age rating is targeting kids who are 10 years or older, this is generally meant for any soccer fans who also happen to have a passion for LEGO. This is a collectible display set that is meant to be placed on a shelf once you put it together.
The Official Trophy set is also up for preorder
First announced during the wave of new LEGO sets available for preorder in December 2025, the LEGO FIFA World Cup Official Trophy is a more expensive display set in this same theme. The trophy set is about 1,400 pieces larger than the soccer ball and comes in at $199.99.
So far, there are only two sets that LEGO has announced for the World Cup and both of these sets are part of the LEGO Editions theme. The 2026 FIFA World Cup doesn't officially kick off until June 11, so it's likely that we'll see more of these sets announced as that date approaches. You can already check out the full match schedule at the Fifa website to see who's up against who in the first week.
