FM26 is expected to drop in November 2025, continuing the series' usual autumn release schedule. As always, a beta version will likely launch a couple of weeks early for pre-order players. That means thousands of fans will be itching to fire up their first save before the official release even hits.
So if you're planning to play from day one, or want to squeeze every drop of performance out of your save - now's the time to make sure your laptop is up to the task.
FM26 Specs Announced
There has been much speculation on the specs needed for FM26, and we've now seen that this year the game requires a much more powerful processor and graphics chip, a real step up from FM24. That means you'll need a more powerful computer capable of running FM26.
