Introducing Football Manager 27

Football Manager 27 Official Launch Trailer

Developed by Sports Interactive and published by SEGA, Football Manager is a world-renowned football management simulation series. Since the release of Football Manager 2005 in 2004, the series has continued to evolve in a variety of ways. It puts you in the role of a club’s manager, from local semi-professional sides to the biggest and most prestigious teams on the planet, with the goal of leading your squad to new heights in this unparalleled, true-to-life football experience.

An Elevated Match Day Atmosphere

- Experience Every Fixture as a Richer Piece of Football Theatre

FM27 enhances the match day atmosphere, elevating stadiums, dynamic weather, lighting, and crowd reactions so every fixture feels electric.

Tactical Tweaks from the Touchline

The brand-new Tactical Tweaks system brings a new level of influence directly from the touchline.
Inspired by real conversations with contacts in the professional game, it lets you make team and individual-level tactical decisions based on the match playing out in front of you, without having to go to the Tactics Screen.
At an individual level, your wingers can swap sides at the touch of a button, or you can send your ‘keeper up for a last-gasp attack when you need an equaliser. For your team, you can instantly ask your players to play with more urgency, go longer with the passes, exploit width or reduce the press. Tweaks stay active as long as you want them to, with no cap on how many you can have, and your staff will advise you on the best time to use or stop using one. Tweaks empower you to react directly to changes from your opposition manager in real time, making matches feel less passive.

Training and Tactical Effectiveness

- Refreshed Training to Prepare for Victory

FM27 gives Training a refresh, moving it to become one of the Primary Nav Bar areas. In tandem with the wider UI changes across the game, you’ll have a cleaner interface to work with and require fewer clicks to create your blueprint. The ability to replicate training schedules has returned, and the interface now offers clearer visual cues about player load in the weeks ahead, not just your immediate fixtures.
The core purpose of Training has also been redefined. Your senior squad is more attuned to match preparation, with entirely new training sessions that improve your team’s overall effectiveness by working on elements such as pressing intensity and the build-up phase. Individual Training is still available to develop your players, but you’ll need to balance their long-term development with your short-term need to win matches.

Comment from Miles Jacobson, Sports Interactive Studio Director

"Fresh off the Launch Preview period, which included our industry-first Free Play promotion, I’m honoured to see FM27 go live across all platforms today.

Now, our fans will also get to see the hard work and elevations that have gone into making FM27 Console, FM27 Touch and FM27 Mobile strong steps forward for each edition.”
