Xbox Game Pass will offer many major premieres in the coming months, including Ninja Gaiden 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and Keeper. But that's not all: Microsoft has prepared a special surprise for fans of sports simulators.
The company is once again collaborating with Sega. Football Manager 26 will appear on Xbox Game Pass upon release.
This isn't the first time the Football Manager series has been included in Microsoft's subscription, but this time players will get the most revolutionary version in the franchise's history. FM26 has received numerous improvements compared to previous games.
As a reminder, Football Manager 25 was never released, as the developers decided to spend additional time refining system changes. FM26 features a redesigned engine, new player progression tools, and improved artificial intelligence, making the game more realistic.
Football Manager 26 will be released on November 4, 2025, on Xbox Game Pass, simultaneously with its release on PS5, PC, and mobile devices. Nintendo Switch owners will have to wait until December 4, when the version for that console premieres.
