The game

You pick a club, build the squad, set tactics and training, then manage matches from the touchline. According to SEGA, the console version brings reorganised screens, fully customisable controller mapping, smarter recruitment, new Match Preparation and live Tactical Tweaks from the touchline.

What the press says (PC reviews)

A clear recovery after FM26. Wccftech (8.5/10) praises excellent tactical depth where small changes matter, a smoother and more accessible interface than last year, more meaningful training and a match engine that makes tactical decisions easier to see. Cubed3 (8/10) calls it a comeback after the “unmitigated disaster” of FM26: easy navigation and clear information, though the match engine still needs work. IGN Italia (8/10) says Sports Interactive has finally put the pieces back together after a crisis. games.ch (79/100) likes the clearer menus, the tactical options and long-term appeal.

Caveats: Everyeye.it (7.5/10) feels the series’ technical overhaul is not yet complete, even if it is starting to show its potential. Wccftech regrets features from older games still missing, bugs, crashes and baffling player decisions. games.ch notes sometimes absurd defending in matches, unpolished graphics and animations, and repetitive press conferences.

Scores and prices

The five PC scores range from 7.5/10 to 8.5/10. As of 11 November 2026, the game costs €59.99 on Steam, the Xbox Store (PC and Console versions) and the PlayStation Store.
