Football Manager 26 Touch Arrives on Apple Arcade This November

After a long wait following the cancellation of Football Manager 25, the next installment in the series has finally been confirmed — and the celebration includes yet another platform. Football Manager 26 Touch will launch on Apple Arcade on November 4, 2025, bringing the beloved management experience to iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.

Continue Your Career and Explore New Features

Players who’ve been managing clubs in FM24 Touch can seamlessly carry their careers forward into the new game. The 2026 edition from Sports Interactive and SEGA will be released across all major platforms: PC, Mac, Xbox, PS5, and mobile (via Netflix Games for Android and iOS). The Nintendo Switch version of FM26 Touch will arrive a month later, on December 4, 2025.

A Major Step Forward for the Series

Built on the Unity engine, Football Manager 26 introduces a significant visual upgrade. Expect enhanced matchday graphics, smoother volumetric animations, and an overall more immersive experience — especially in the Touch edition, which bridges the gap between the mobile and PC versions.

New Additions: Women’s Football and the Premier League

For the first time in the series, women’s football takes the field, joining the game’s growing list of leagues and competitions. In addition, FM26 features a fully licensed Premier League, complete with authentic player photos, club badges, and official kits. Players can create their dream squad and experiment with new tactical tools to experience football management like never before.

Smooth Transition for FM24 Players

If you’ve been playing FM24 Touch, there’s no need to start from scratch. Your existing career will carry over automatically. Starting November 4, the FM24 Touch page on the App Store will update to FM26 Touch, unlocking all the new features instantly across your Apple devices.
