Football Manager 26 Reveals Unity Match Footage and Posts System Requirements

Following FM25’s cancellation, the studio signals a fall return on Unity with higher recommended hardware.

Overview

  • Sports Interactive released the first gameplay of FM26’s Unity-built match engine, showing smoother animations, improved lighting, and more distinct stadiums.
  • The new footage features fully licensed Premier League kits, reflecting the previously announced deal for authentic branding.
  • FM26’s Steam page lists Windows recommended specs of an Intel Core i5-9600 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 12GB RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT.
  • On Mac, the recommended specification is Apple M1 or above, and reporting suggests players will likely want a dedicated GPU for smooth frame rates on many systems.
  • An exact release date has not been announced, with SI indicating a return to the series’ usual autumn cadence and public betas typically landing about two weeks before launch.
