Sports Interactive Announces Multi-Year Partnership with FIFA, Featuring 2026 World Cup

Sports Interactive has entered into a multi-year agreement with FIFA to integrate official licenses for FIFA's premier competitions into the Football Manager series, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the USA. The partnership will introduce officially branded FIFA competitions starting with FM26, encompassing the FIFA World Cup, FIFA Women's World Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup. This development coincides with the upcoming introduction of a revamped International Management module in a content update for FM26, FM26 Console, and FM26 Touch, ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The update will feature the official kits of all 48 participating teams, broadcast graphics, and tournament branding. Following a record-breaking 2024 for Football Manager 24, the company had previously cancelled Football Manager 25 due to significant delays.
