October 24, 2025 – SEGA is pleased to announce that the FM26 Advanced Access Beta is now live and available to play on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The full launch is scheduled for November 5th, and will be released across PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™, Steam, Epic Games Store, Windows, Mac, Netflix, and Apple Arcade.
*The physical and digital editions on Nintendo Switch™ and the physical PlayStation®5 edition will be available on December 4, 2025.
Anyone who has pre-purchased FM26 from a SEGA-approved digital retailer* can now log in to Steam or Epic and launch the game directly from their library.
Please note that this is a Beta version and not yet the full game experience**. As such, players may encounter bugs or issues during gameplay that the team will be working diligently to address in future updates. Any bugs encountered can be reported directly to the Sports Interactive team via the ‘Report Bug’ button on the in-game sidebar. Online play is enabled, but the Pre-Game Editor, In-Game Editor and Steam Workshop will not be accessible until November 5th.
Single-player careers started during Advanced Access can be carried across to full release from November 5th.
*Advanced Access is available from SEGA-approved digital retailers only; please check here for a full list of digital retailers and more details as to what constitutes a SEGA-approved retailer.
** The Advanced Access Beta also contains information that is still under approval process by right holders and may contain data that does not, at this time, accurately reflect real world data. For context, some club and player assets may be absent during Advanced Access.
Pre-Purchase Bonus
The Steam, Epic Games Store and Windows versions of FM26 are now available to pre-order.
Players who pre-purchase will receive 10% off and Advanced Access—allowing them to begin their managerial career up to two weeks before launch. Progress made during the Advanced Access will carry over to the full release. Start your football journey early and discover how the reimagined UI transforms your management style.
*Advanced Access start dates may vary between platforms.
