Football Manager 2025 is one of the most anticipated sports games of 2025, as the new entry in the best simulation sports game franchise in the market promises to revolutionize the genre.
However, the release of Football Manager 2025 suffered some setbacks, with the original release date of the game being pushed back, which can affect some of the new features.
This left plenty of fans wondering when Football Manager 2025 will be released or if that will happen at all. Luckily for you, we have the answer.
Football Manager 2025 Release Date
Unfortunately, Football Manager 2025 has been cancelled. The latest Sports Interactive and SEGA blog post confirmed the biggest fear fans had, as developers revealed they decided to cancel the game as they didn't want to release an unfinished product.
While this is disappointing news it's not exactly surprising. The game release date had already been delayed from November 26, 2024, to March 2025. Sports Interactive also said it would provide updates on the title's development until the end of January, something that didn't happen.
So while there where still plenty of optimist fans, the writing was on the wall and it didn't look good. When the release date is just two or three months away, and you haven't released a gameplay trailer, or really anything apart from a few screenshots of the main menu, then something is wrong.
Sports Interactive clearly bit off more than it could chew and that ended up hurting Football Manager 2025. While the studio's intentions were good, we can't really say the same about the results.
Now, we can only hope for Sports Interactive to be able to rally back and use all the progress they had made in Football Manager 2025 to deliver an even better product in Football Manager 2026.
