The short version: FM27 is out everywhere right now. PC/Mac is the full-fat game (£49.99, free with PC Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate), Console is the streamlined edition on Xbox and PS5, Mobile is free inside a Netflix subscription, and Touch is free inside Apple Arcade. Careers started during the free Launch Preview continue seamlessly.

Editions and where each one lives

Four versions, four different homes — the naming confuses everyone, so here's the map.

EditionWhereWhat it is

FM27 Mobile release time

The most-asked launch question — when the Netflix version actually unlocks.

  1. 1
    Same day as PC and console

    FM27 Mobile went live on November 10, 2026 alongside the other editions. Sports Interactive notes platforms may go live at slightly different times, so if the listing isn't showing for you yet, give it a few hours and refresh the app store.

  2. 2
    How to get it

    Download it from the App Store or Google Play like any app — but it only unlocks after you sign in with an active Netflix account. There's no separate purchase, no ads and no in-app purchases.

  3. 3
    Mobile vs Touch

    Don't confuse them: FM27 Mobile is the Netflix edition on iOS/Android; FM27 Touch is the Apple Arcade edition. Both are included with their subscriptions, but they're different builds — saves don't cross between them.

What's new this year

Tactical Tweaks & Effectiveness

A new tactics layer on the training ground and touchline — adjust how your vision takes shape and see how well it's working.

Match Preparation

Debuts in FM27 Console — prepare for each opponent specifically to find the edge before kick-off.

Shuffle Draft

A fast-paced multiplayer draft mode, playable across the PC/Mac edition.

Better newgens

More varied faces, expressions and body language on generated players, with improved lighting and camera work.

Navigation overhaul

Most navigation moved to top menus, messages are color-coded, and a customizable Continue Flow cuts down on clicks.

Mobile match engine

FM27 Mobile gets the most advanced 2D match engine yet in the series — faster matches and Expected Goals (xG) data for the first time.

The wheelchair manager option

FM27's headline representation feature — part of the rebuilt Manager Creator.

  1. 1
    An electric wheelchair in the Manager Creator

    When you build your manager you can now choose an electric-powered wheelchair — a series first. Sports Interactive calls it "step two" of their representation plan after adding hearing aids and eye patches in FM26.

  2. 2
    Visible everywhere, not just a menu icon

    The wheelchair shows up on the start screen, on the touchline and in match-day cutscenes — wherever your manager appears.

  3. 3
    The world adapts too

    Trophy-lift plinths have been reconfigured with ramps so celebrations stay accessible — the detail players noticed most when the feature was announced.

  4. 4
    Wider accessibility pass

    Alongside it: larger fonts across the game, a dedicated Accessibility section in Preferences, a colour-blind mode, black-and-white commentary text, and renamed Large/Medium/Small UI scaling modes (1440p and above).

The rest of the Manager Creator grew too: body morphs, more hairstyles and facial hair, hats at last, scarves and gloves, the colour picker back, hair physics on your avatar, and up to four favourite clubs.
