Football Manager 26 FM 26 (1)

Because of the poor reception and cancellation of Football Manager 25, Sports Interactive have changed many things and tried to make the game better and smoother.

UI is getting a complete new change in FM 26. The design team prioritized efficiency, familiarity, and predictability, so you’ll presumably spend less time navigating menus and more time managing your team.

The recruitment system has been revamped. Now, scouting, managing and transfers will be smoother and you will experience the real transfer market feeling.

More formations and tactics have evolved, plus they are finally adding women’s football as well. Multiple women’s leagues will be playable with tens of thousands of female players and staff.

Football Manager 26 has been moved to Unity Engine for improved graphics, smoother performance and more detailed visuals & graphics. More detailed information about the game can be found on the official Football Manager website.
