The most anticipated sports game of 2025 is almost here, as the Football Manager 26 release date is just around the corner. However, Sports Interactive usually gives players who pre-ordered the game a 2-week early access, where fans can try out the game and give the developers feedback to fix mistakes ahead of the official launch.
This year will be no different, as Sports Interactive has confirmed an Advanced Access Beta will happen. The actual date hasn't been officially disclosed, but a mistake might have already revealed it.
Without further ado, let's find out when the Advanced Access Beta to the biggest Football Manager title of all time will be released.
Football Manager 26 Release Date
The release date of the Football Manager 26 beta has been revealed, with the beta arriving on October 23.
Sports Interactive didn't officially reveal the date; instead, players who have pre-ordered the game on Epic Games noticed that it says it's available to play on October 23. So, it's likely the release date of the Football Manager 26 Beta was disclosed by mistake.
With Sports Interactive releasing an announcement confirming that Advanced Access Beta for Football Manager 26, and promising more details and a concrete date in the week of 20-24 October, it's almost certain that the FM 26 beta will be released on October 23.
Unless Sports Interactive announces the delay of the official launch date, and 4 November becomes the release date of the Advanced Access Beta, which would have the community in uproar, we can't see any other plausible date for the release of the FM 26 beta.
The Football Manager 26 beta's release will mark the beginning of a brand-new era for the franchise. So, it's only natural that players are very excited but also cautious about it.
