Football Manager 27 has officially launched, bringing the latest instalment of Sports Interactive and SEGA’s football management series to PC, Mac, consoles and mobile devices.
Released digitally on 10 November 2026, FM27 introduces changes to tactics, recruitment, match preparation and the wider management experience.
Players who participated in the earlier Launch Preview can also continue their existing saves into the full PC and Mac release.
New Ways to Manage Your Club
Football Manager 27 builds on the series’ familiar combination of tactical planning, player development and long-term club management.
This year’s edition introduces changes designed to give managers greater control over their squad and tactical approach.
Updated interfaces aim to make navigating different parts of the game more straightforward, while improvements to training and match preparation offer additional ways to influence performances.
The wider football world has also received attention.
Features such as cup draws, transfer deadline day and club news are intended to make important events feel more connected to the player’s career.
More Than 625,000 Players Tried the Launch Preview
Ahead of the full release, Sports Interactive held a Launch Preview period that included a free-play promotion.
According to the studio, more than 625,000 players participated.
The developer also reports that participants accumulated over seven million active gameplay hours and completed approximately 13.8 million matches.
These figures represent developer-reported participation rather than independently verified player counts.
Players using the PC or Mac Launch Preview can continue their existing careers without having to start again.
FM27 Console, Touch and Mobile Are Also Available
The main PC and Mac edition is available through Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store, including access through eligible PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass subscriptions.

FM27 Touch is available through Apple Arcade, featuring a redesigned iPhone interface and layouts adapted for iPad, Mac and Apple TV.
Meanwhile, FM27 Mobile returns exclusively for Netflix subscribers on compatible iOS and Android devices.

Football Manager 27 UK Price and Availability
Football Manager 27 is available now, with the standard PC and Mac edition carrying an announced UK retail price of £49.99.
Access to the various Console, Touch and Mobile editions depends on the platform and subscription service.
