What to expect from Football Manager 26?

The official teaser for Football Manager 26 looks visually amazing. This suggests that we are going to get some enhanced graphics in this game.

The developers also shared a message:

“FM26 will guide players on a journey to shape their footballing legacy with unparalleled immersion,”

The game is built on the Unity Engine and promises to bring more immersive management gameplay for the fans.

Expect improved graphics and increased tactical depth, while details on features and launch timing remain unknown.

FM 25 cancellation

This new announcement follows the February 2025 cancellation of Football Manager 25. That game had so many delays and finally it got cancelled by the developers.

Despite the team’s efforts, unexpected challenges prevented the game from meeting the high expectations, even with extended timelines.

Final Thoughts

After not getting the Football Manager 25, fans are now super hyped for Football Manager 26. The expectations for this game are going to be super high.

The official teaser alone can’t fulfill the expectation, as we need some gameplay for the fans. I believe that Sports Interactive will soon be providing more details on FM 26.

The next Match Day film will most likely provide a sneak peek at gameplay, while the Unity Engine swap suggests a visual and technological upgrade.

Maybe there is a chance that we might see something related to Football Manager 26 at Gamescom 2025, which is starting from August 19, 2025.
