Sports Interactive has just announced the official release date for the beta of the football management simulation Football Manager 2026.

Everyone who has pre-ordered FM26 will be able to access the beta starting Wednesday, 23 October. However, the studio hasn’t yet confirmed the exact release time.

At this stage, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect that the beta might go live at midnight between Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23, but no official details have been shared so far.

Stay tuned to our pages, we’ll keep following the story closely and make sure to update you promptly as soon as new information becomes available.

It’s worth remembering that the developers recently released a video showcasing the refreshed user interface, while just a few days ago another video unveiled the brand-new Match Day experience and the updated gameplay of Football Manager 2026.

Powered by the new Unity engine, the game promises the most immersive and exciting experience in the series’ history. Player movements have been refined, and the on-pitch detail has been significantly enhanced, bringing greater depth and emotional involvement to every match.

The user interface has been completely redesigned with the modern manager in mind — every interaction now feels smoother and clearer. Meanwhile, the new integrated Portal opens a window onto the entire footballing world. The updated interface lets you access key information exactly when you need it, making your decision-making feel more instinctive and effective.

Football Manager 26 will be available on 4 November for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Steam, and Nintendo Switch. Follow us on our social media channels Facebook and Twitter, for more news.
