For those unaware, Sports Interactive and SEGA took to Football Manager's official social media handle in early February 2025 to announce the cancellation of Football Manager 25. The announcement shook the gaming community, which had been hopeful about the release of the title's 2025 edition, despite the long delay.

According to the developers, the 2025 edition was cancelled due to various unforeseen challenges that rendered the title subpar and failed to meet their desired vision.

Through this tweet, the developers also announced for the first time that they would be tirelessly working for the release of Football Manager 26, which would provide an amplified gaming experience.

Since then, the craze for the title has increased, although it remains to be seen how much the 2026 edition of the title is an upgrade from the existing 2024 version.

However, it is likely guaranteed that when the 2026 edition is made available for purchase, many existing and new players will look to purchase it and experience the thrill of managing a virtual football club.
