David Beckham has officially arrived in Fortnite, and the timing is no accident. Epic Games dropped two Beckham outfits into the Item Shop on July 17, 2026, just two days ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 final, continuing the game’s star-studded list of football crossovers. Beckham had already teased the collaboration himself on July 14, posting a short Instagram clip where he simply said, “Two outfits will be great,” and he wasn’t exaggerating.
The drop matters because it lands at the exact moment the real world is watching football. Epic has clearly built its World Cup-season strategy around moments like this one, following similar star-studded pushes for Lionel Messi and Harry Kane earlier in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, titled Runners. Below, you’ll find everything you need to grab both Beckham outfits, including a free route most guides are missing, along with the full pricing breakdown and exactly when they leave the shop for good.
What Are the David Beckham Skins in Fortnite?
There are two distinct Beckham outfits, and each leans into a different chapter of his career.
The first, David Beckham, is the on-pitch look: his iconic number 7 jersey and shorts, essentially the kit he’s most associated with as an England and Manchester United legend. This one has a genuinely unusual detail for a Fortnite skin. It includes a shirtless alternate style, and its tattoos glow gold every time you get an elimination while wearing it.
The second, Club Owner David Beckham, ditches the pitch entirely for a sharp, Inter Miami-inspired suit, nodding to his current role as the club’s co-owner rather than its star player.
Both outfits come bundled with matching accessories, so this isn’t just a reskin situation. The David Beckham Outfit includes Beckham’s Number back bling and a LEGO Minifig variant, and Epic has clearly built out a genuinely varied set of cosmetics around the collab to make Beckham’s Fortnite debut feel as complete as Messi’s or Kane’s did.
How to Get the Free David Beckham Skin: The Icon Cup
Here’s the part most guides skip. You don’t have to spend V-Bucks to get at least part of this collab.
On July 17, Epic ran the David Beckham Icon Cup, a Trios tournament across both Battle Royale and Zero Build playlists. Rewards worked in tiers:
- Top regional finishers earned the Club Owner David Beckham Outfit for free.
- Top overall finishers won the entire David Beckham Bundle for free.
If you’re reading this after July 17-18, the live Cup has already passed, so this route is no longer active. Worth knowing for next time Epic runs an Icon Cup alongside a collab drop like this, since it’s become a recurring pattern rather than a one-off. For everyone else, the Item Shop is the only way in now.
How to Get the David Beckham Skins in the Item Shop
Getting either outfit through the shop is straightforward, since there’s no battle pass challenge or quest line tied to the purchase path.
Here’s how to grab it:
- Launch Fortnite and head to the main lobby.
- Open the Item Shop tab from the bottom of the screen.
- Look for the David Beckham section, featured near the top of the shop during the promotion window.
- Select the outfit, bundle, or standalone cosmetic you want to buy.
- Confirm you have enough V-Bucks in your account balance.
- Hit Purchase to complete the transaction.
Outside the Icon Cup window, there’s no free route into this one. If you want either look now, you’ll need to spend V-Bucks, whether that’s through a bundle or on individual pieces.
David Beckham Fortnite Bundle Price and Cosmetics
Epic split the pricing across a full bundle, two smaller outfit-plus-back-bling packages, and standalone items, so you can pick exactly how much of the collab you want to own.
1. Complete David Beckham Bundle
- Price: 2,400 V-Bucks
- Includes: Both outfits (David Beckham and Club Owner David Beckham), both back blings, both pickaxes, and the Beckham’s Shot emote
2. David Beckham Outfit Bundle
- Price: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Includes: David Beckham skin + Beckham’s Number back bling
3. Club Owner David Beckham Bundle
- Price: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Includes: Club Owner David Beckham outfit + Club Insignia back bling
If you’d rather cherry-pick, every cosmetic is also sold on its own:
| Item | Type | Price (V-Bucks) |
|---|---|---|
| Beckham’s Number | Back Bling | 400 |
| Club Insignia | Back Bling | 500 |
| Beckham’s Shot | Emote | 500 |
| Meteor Baller | Pickaxe (impact-reactive) | 800 |
| Number Seven Scythe | Pickaxe (weak-point reactive) | 800 |
Buying the Complete Bundle is the better deal if you want everything, since purchasing each item separately would cost noticeably more than 2,400 V-Bucks. If you’re only after one outfit, though, the smaller 1,500 V-Bucks bundles are the more sensible pick.
David Beckham Fortnite Skins Availability
The David Beckham cosmetics went live in the Item Shop on July 17, 2026, at 8 PM ET (5 PM PT), and they’re currently confirmed to leave the shop on July 27, 2026, at 8 PM ET (5 PM PT). That gives you a ten-day window to decide, which is fairly standard for Fortnite’s celebrity and sports collabs.
As of this writing, Epic hasn’t indicated whether these outfits will return to the rotating Item Shop after their initial run, the way some past collab skins eventually do. If history with similar limited-time athlete crossovers is any guide, there’s a chance Beckham’s outfits could reappear down the line, but that’s speculation rather than anything Epic has confirmed.
Wrapping Up
Beckham’s arrival rounds out one of Fortnite’s most ambitious football pushes yet, sitting alongside Messi and Kane as part of the same World Cup-era wave of collabs. With the tournament wrapping up and Epic showing no signs of slowing its sports crossovers, more athlete-themed drops are likely already in the pipeline for whatever comes next in Chapter 7 Season 3.
