The football season (or soccer, depending on your preference) is upon us, with international leagues like the English Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and others already in full swing–and for fans looking to manage their own digital clubs along with the new season, Football Manager 26 is launching for PC on November 4 and preorders are now live. If you want to save a few dollars, Fanatical is discounting the Steam version to just $49.19 (was $60). That’s nearly 20% off, though the discount will disappear after launch, so cash in while you can. Along with the steep price cut, you’ll also get early access to the full game as a preorder bonus. The specific start date for the early access period has yet to be announced, but will likely be revealed soon.
Getting the Football Manager preorder discount is easy. Just add the game to your Fanatical shopping cart and check out. There’s no need for a promo code. This will begin approximately two weeks before its scheduled launch on November 4
As if a discount and early access weren’t already enough, Fanatical will also throw in a 5%-off voucher for your next Fanatical purchase, and a digital free scratch card with your preorder. Each digital scratch card includes a free bonus item, including game keys and or additional coupon codes.
Football Manager 26 is the latest entry in the series since 2023’s Football Manager 24. The new game is making some big changes to its usual format, including an updated UI that aims to make accessing its wealth of content and management systems easier, allowing you to zip around its menus without trouble. Beyond its interface, you’ll also find new animations, upgraded graphics, and the debut of Women’s Football. While Football Manager 26 launches on PC first on November 4, it’s also planned to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Game Pass, and Nintendo Switch at a later date.
Football Manager 26 isn’t the only soccer game on the horizon, as you can also preorder EA Sports FC 26 ahead of its September 26 release. You’ll find a few different editions available, including physical PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch copies at Amazon, Best Buy, or GameStop. There are also digital editions available on PC and consoles, and each version includes preorder bonuses like extra players, XP boosts, and more. Check our FC 26 preorder guide for more information.
