Football Manager 25 release date confirmed

Sports Interactive has announced Football Manager 2025’s release date.

FM25 will hit PC and Mac on November 26, the same date as Football Manager 25 Console arrives on Xbox and PS5. The PC/Mac and Xbox titles will be available via Game Pass too.

Football Manager 25 Mobile is also scheduled to launch on November 26 as a Netflix exclusive, while Football Manager 25 Touch will be released for Nintendo Switch on December 3.

“Powered by the switch to the Unity engine, FM25 marks the biggest technical and visual advancement for the series in a generation,” according to the Sega-owned studio.

It’s also the first entry in the long-running series to include women’s football.

Digital pre-orders of Football Manager 2025 for PC and Mac via Sega-approved retailers will get a 10% discount (£40.50 instead of £44.99).

Prior to a recent delay, Sports Interactive had been planning to release the game in early November.

“As I’ve mentioned in interviews and development updates, the FM25 cycle has been challenging for the entire SI team,” said studio director Miles Jacobson.

“FM25 is just the starting point for the studio’s next 20, 30 years. It’s also the point where the world gets to see two of our multi-year projects come to fruition: the switch to the Unity engine and the introduction of Women’s Football.

“It gives us a real sense of achievement to begin sharing our hard work with you and we’re really looking forward to showing you more of the game in the weeks before the game’s release.”
