Sports Interactive and SEGA confirmed on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, that Football Manager 27 launches on November 10, 2026. The date was posted on the series’ official X account and on the Steam store page after weeks of a month-only window.
What ships on day one
The main PC and Mac build arrives on Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Xbox PC app. The same day brings Football Manager 27 Console to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and Football Manager 27 Mobile to iOS and Android exclusively through Netflix.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers get the game on launch day, according to Sports Interactive. A Launch Preview is planned one to two weeks before release; the exact preview date is still to come.
What is not on day one
Nintendo Switch 2 and Apple Arcade are absent from the first list. The studio said further platforms will be confirmed later and stated there will be no version for the original Nintendo Switch or Xbox One.
UK coverage cites a £49.99 reference price. Regional store prices still need confirmation.
Why it matters
The series had a messy cycle: FM25 was cancelled and FM26 launched in November 2025 to mixed reviews, especially around the interface. FM27 is being framed as a return toward FM24-style navigation, with fewer clicks and better full-screen scaling.
On the same day as the date reveal, the studio posted a match-day atmosphere video covering more reactive crowds, regional stadium variation, wet and snowy pitches, and more detailed player models. These are presentation changes, not a confirmed overhaul of the tactics engine.
What is still unconfirmed
The Launch Preview date, full pre-order timing, Brazil pricing and any Switch 2 window remain open. The game can already be wishlisted on Steam.
