Football Manager and FIFA sign multi-year partnership

Elevating authenticity to truly global heights, we’re delighted to have signed our first partnership with FIFA, football’s world governing body.

The multi-year deal brings official licences for FIFA’s biggest competitions to the Football Manager series, including the FIFA World Cup 26™ held in Canada, Mexico and USA.

The inclusion of officially branded and titled FIFA competitions will begin in FM26 with the FIFA World Cup™, FIFA Women’s World Cup™ and FIFA Club World Cup™. 

Announcing this partnership unlocks our ability to answer your questions – this licence coincides with the inclusion of a playable, revamped International Management module in FM26, FM26 Console and FM26 Touch* in a Content Update next year in advance of the World Cup.

Full feature details will follow once we're in a position to confirm every element but we can reveal that for the FIFA World Cup 26 - the 23rd and largest edition in tournament history - the official kits of all 48 teams will be included in FM26 when they’re available alongside broadcast graphics and tournament branding.

*The International Management module will be available in FM26 Mobile (Netflix) from launch.
