Football Manager 25 has been cancelled due to a challenging development cycle and technical issues related to transitioning to the Unity engine. Initially scheduled for a launch in November 2024 and later pushed to March 2025, Sports Interactive decided to halt the project entirely after discussions with SEGA. This decision marks a significant moment in the series, being the first time since its inception in 2004 that no new game will be released in a year. Pre-orders are set to be refunded, as the developer shifts focus to future projects.
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 and shift our focus to the next release.
For the large numbers of you who pre-ordered FM25, we thank you enormously for your trust and support - we're very sorry to have let you down.
The cancellation affects all versions of the game across different platforms. Players who pre-ordered FM25 will receive full refunds if their purchase was made through an official SEGA-approved retailer.
The studio apologised to fans for the late communication about the game's cancellation, saying stakeholder compliance, including legal and financial regulations, meant February 6 was the earliest it could issue the statement.
