Through Steam, the minimum and recommended system requirements for the highly anticipated management sim Football Manager 26, expected by the end of 2025, have finally been revealed.

At the same time, Valve’s platform has also shared a short description of FM26, which we’ve included in full below.

Begin your journey in Football Manager 26 and write your own footballing story.
The improved graphics are just the tip of the iceberg in a richer, more immersive experience that allows you to shape a football universe entirely your own.

Thanks to the new Unity game engine, FM26 delivers enhanced player movement, refined animations, and a greater level of detail on the pitch, bringing more depth and realism to every single match.

Feel the thrill of every perfectly weighted through ball or last-minute winner, brought to life with volumetric animations captured directly from real football via motion capture. There’s nothing closer to the world’s greatest game.

In FM26, it all comes down to you and your vision. And there are still plenty of surprises in store. This is only a taste, with a host of brand-new features ready to make their debut.

For now, Sports Interactive has yet to confirm the official release date of Football Manager 26, nor has it revealed whether there will be any form of early access for those who pre-order well in advance.

Before we wrap up, it’s worth noting that just a few hours ago the studio also released a video showcasing the innovative Match Day experience and the new in-game match mechanics of Football Manager 26.
