It’s time for managers worldwide to change the game, with Football Manager 26 now live and playable across platforms. FM26 on PC and Mac is ready to download and play on Steam, the Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass*. Those who’ve been playing the FM26 Advanced Access Beta on Steam and Epic can seamlessly continue their progress to footballing glory.

The latest release in Sports Interactive’s and SEGA’s iconic series, FM26 lays new foundations for fans to shape their footballing destiny with a host of new upgrades that spark fan imagination. In FM26, football belongs to the players. That spirit is at the heart of the FM26 launch trailer – players don’t have to wait for football to deliver those magical moments, they can create them and write the stories that live in the mind long after the final whistle.

That sentiment is brought to life by blending the real world of gaming with elite talent and partnerships featuring Paris Saint-Germain’s UEFA Champions League winner, Vitinha, Portuguese wonderkid Rodrigo Mora, as well as first-team stars from Football Manager club partners Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion. Manchester City Women’s stars Lauren Hemp, Yui Hasegawa and Laila Ouahabi also star, in celebration of the debut of women’s football in FM26 across platforms. Sports Interactive Studio Director, Miles Jacobson, said: “The launch of FM26 is the start of a new era for our games.

“FM26 has marked a record pre-purchase period for the series, with more than 100,000 people playing the game within the first 45 minutes of the Advanced Access Beta being live. Since then, we’ve seen more than 200,000 playing every day.

“With this year’s release now available across multiple platforms, we’ll be continuing to iterate and improve as we lay the foundations for the next 20 to 30 years for the studio.”
Fans will feel closer to every match-defining moment in Football Manager 26 Console, now available on both Xbox and PS5. FM26 Console is also available via Xbox Game Pass, meaning subscribers can kick-off their campaigns at no extra cost.

Delivering effortless control and swift navigation across Apple devices**, from iPhone and iPad through to Mac and Apple TV, Football Manager 26 Touch is now live on Apple Arcade. Those who’ve been dominating the competition in FM24 Touch can now simply update their game to take full advantage of this season’s game-changing additions.

The only title in the suite not moving to Unity at this time, Football Manager 26 Mobile is once again available exclusively to Netflix members. FM26 Mobile combines a retro feel with a host of new additions to bring the excitement of football management to your fingertips.

FM26 Touch on Nintendo Switch™ will complete this season’s lineup when it launches digitally from December 4th.
