Football Manager 26 is making history with its first-ever partnership with FIFA. Publisher SEGA and developer Sports Interactive have confirmed that FM26 will include official FIFA competitions.
This new deal brings official licenses for FIFA’s biggest tournaments to Football Manager 26. Players will now see the FIFA World Cup, FIFA Women’s World Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup in the game. The tournaments will feature official kits, broadcast graphics, and tournament branding, making the experience more authentic for football fans. The FIFA World Cup 26, which will be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States, will be included in FM26 with all 48 teams’ kits officially represented.
The licensing deal also aligns with the upcoming revamped International Management module, which will be part of a Content Update next year. This update will be available for Football Manager 26 on PC, Console, and Touch editions, allowing managers to enjoy a more feature-rich international football experience ahead of FIFA World Cup 26.
Football Manager 26 will also debut on the Unity Engine, refreshing the entire managerial experience. This change aims to provide smoother gameplay, more realistic match simulations, and improved visuals across all platforms.
Football Manager 26 will launch worldwide on November 4 for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Xbox One. The mobile version will be available on iOS and Android via Netflix, while Football Manager 26 Touch for Nintendo Switch will release on December 4.
