The cancellation of Football Manager 2025 has been officially announced by Sports Interactive, citing various internal challenges and unforeseen issues that hindered the game's development. Initially intended to launch with a new engine, Unity, the transition faced significant delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even after rescheduling to March 2025, the developers felt that further delays would make the release impractical within the current season. Consequently, players must continue with the previously available version, FM24, for their managerial experiences, notably featuring the 2023/24 Bayern Munich roster.
Sports Interactive regret to inform that, following extensive internal discussion and careful consideration with SEGA, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Football Manager 25.
We have been open about a variety of challenges to date, and many more unforeseen, as reasons why the current state of the game is not where we need it to be.
FM25 was slated to be the first edition of the game to switch to a completely new engine, Unity, which was originally planned for FM22 or FM23.
Normally, FM is released around November of each year, but FM25 was initially delayed, first until November and subsequently until March.
