Sports Interactive will partner with FIFA for a multi-year deal that will officially bring FIFA’s biggest competitions to the Football Manager series, including the upcoming FIFA World Cup 26, FIFA Women’s World Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup, with further tournaments set to follow.
The deal will bring the official kits of the final 48 FIFA World Cup 26 teams to Football Manager 26, alongside broadcast graphics and tournament branding. The game will also be made in the Unity engine for the first time, ensuring a wholly immersive experience for football and sports game fans.
Sports Interactive Studio Director Miles Jacobson said: “Revealing this partnership with FIFA is an incredibly historic moment for the studio. Heading into a World Cup year, revamping International Management and making it a much more feature-rich module for our players was important.”
“To be able to do that with the support of FIFA with an official licence, giving us the tournament broadcast graphics and tournament kits in-game, is a real honour and something we’re delighted our fans will be able to experience next year. And this is just the start of our relationship – stay tuned for more to come in 2026 and beyond.”
