For the first time, Football Manager 26 will include the FIFA World Cup, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup, with their official kits, broadcast graphics, and branding. In total, the 48 qualified teams for the next tournament edition will be integrated.

• The international management mode will not be available at launch, but will be added later through a free update before the 2026 World Cup. Additionally, the title will arrive in two versions: the standard and Football Manager 26: Console, adapted for controller play on Xbox. As usual, Football Manager 24 will leave the Game Pass catalog once the new installment arrives.

With this alliance with FIFA, Football Manager 26 promises to become the most ambitious edition of the saga and a must-visit for football fans playing on Xbox Game Pass.
