Football Manager 26 is officially happening, and the next Sports Interactive game is closer than most expected. After the cancellation of Football Manager 25, the new entry in the franchise has the hard task of regaining the community's trust.
Fans are expecting Football Manager 26 to deliver what FM 25 had promised, to revolutionize the franchise, while also taking the simulation sports game to a new high.
Football Manager 26 Release Date
Football Manager 26 will be released in the Fall of 2025, has was revealed in the latest SEGA management report. An exact release date still hasn't been unveiled, but it should be announced very soon.
As of right now, there is no information about the Football Manager 26 beta or the pre-order start date. We expect Sports Interactive to provide players with an update on that in the near future.
Football Manager 26 Platforms
Football Manager 26 will be available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Nintendo Switch, iOS Android, Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Game Pass, and PlayStation Plus.
The SEGA management report has also revealed that the game is expected to arrive on new cloud platforms, giving Football Manager players even more alternatives to enjoy the title.
Football Manager 26 Editions
Football Manager 26 will likely only have one Edition, keeping the same model the franchise has followed for years, and that has become a tradition.
This base game edition will be available for pre-order, which is expected to offer early access to the title, the Pre-Game Editor, as well as a 10% discount when pre-ordered in SEGA-approved retailers.
Since this is a make-or-break year for the franchise, there is a chance that new editions are added, with different prices and perks. Despite that, we think it's unlikely it will happen, as it could alienate a part of the Football Manager community.
This is everything we know about Football Manager 26, but more details are expected to be revealed soon. Hopefully, they bring great news about the franchise's return and can quiet the community's doubts.
