For the first time in its history, Football Manager 26 has made a huge leap forward by entering into an official collaboration with FIFA. This is a revolutionary step that promises an unprecedented gaming experience.
This partnership involves more than just a simple license; it also includes prestigious tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup, FIFA Women’s World Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup.
This can bring an atmosphere of passionate and dramatic competition to every aspect of the game. FIFA’s involvement in Football Manager 26 marks a new era that will bring loyal fans and newcomers closer together.
Built using the Unity Engine
In Football Manager 26, players will be able to enjoy the experience of managing international tournaments with kits, logos, and official broadcast graphics.
The virtual World Cup has now evolved from a mere abstract simulation into an experience that is closer to reality. With the FIFA World Cup 2026 coming up, users can manage match venues directly through their laptops.
In addition, SEGA also ensured that this game would be a new technical milestone. For the first time, Football Manager uses the Unity Engine. That means sharper visuals, more realistic animations, and more stable performance across various devices.
For fans, November 4 is a sacred date. Football Manager 26 will be released simultaneously on various platforms: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and even a mobile version via Netflix. The Touch version on Nintendo Switch will follow a month later.
The FIFA license may be just a logo in the eyes of some people. But for millions of Football Manager fans, it is validation that the game they love is now truly part of the world of professional soccer.
This step marks a major change for SEGA and Sports Interactive. Two names that for years have maintained the authenticity of football management simulation without the touch of an official FIFA license.
Now, with a multi-year agreement, all that has changed. The virtual world of management is now legally allowed to call itself “FIFA.”
