Football Manager 2025 Cancelled: Sports Interactive Prioritizes Quality Over Release

Fans of the popular Football Manager series face disappointment as Sports Interactive has announced the cancellation of Football Manager 2025 across all platforms, including its anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games. The decision, following multiple release date postponements, cites the inability to achieve the desired level of technical quality.

The developer's statement confirmed the immediate cancellation and a shift in focus towards the next installment, Football Manager 26. This news is particularly disheartening given the previously announced Netflix Games mobile launch, which promised to expand the franchise's reach to a new audience. The future of Football Manager on Netflix Games remains uncertain.

A Difficult Decision

While fan frustration is understandable, particularly given the late cancellation notice (the most recent projected release was March 2024) and the lack of planned FM24 updates, Sports Interactive's commitment to quality deserves acknowledgment. The decision to forego a subpar release is, in a way, commendable. The hope is that Football Manager 26 will not only meet high quality standards but also see a return to the Netflix Games platform.
