Football Manager 2023 Release News

I don’t know about you, but one of the days I look out for each year is the next Football Manager release date – in this case, Football Manager 2023. There’s been a spate of news recently about the game, from release date to availability.

Football Manager 2023 will be available across an unprecedented array of platforms and devices from the 8th of November. Alongside releases on PC/Mac, Xbox, Nintendo Switch™, App Store and Google Play, Football Manager will also be debuting on Apple Arcade and on PlayStation 5.

FM will make its debut on home PlayStation consoles with Football Manager 2023 Console launching on PS5. Massive news for console fans!

Another exciting development will the Touch series return to Apple devices after a year’s absence. Football Manager 2023 Touch will be joining the Apple Arcade catalogue. For the first time on iPhone, FM players will get to experience the acclaimed 3D Match Engine, which in turn will also be available to Apple Arcade subscribers on iPad, Mac and Apple TV.

Newly renamed for this season to coincide with our maiden launch on PS5, FM23 Console will once again be available with Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC from Day One on November 8th. Xbox Game Pass for PC subscribers will also be able to experience the full simulation experience of FM23. Pre-order details for FM23 Console on all platforms will be released in early October.

New Features and Upgrades

New features and licensing updates for FM23 on PC/Mac will start to arrive in late September, while news of game upgrades and innovations across other platforms will be unveiled in October.

What we do know, though, is that there are more licencing options in-game. Football Manager 2023 will be the first of the series to officially feature the Uefa Champions League, Europa League, Conference League and Super Cup.

“Football Manager 2023 marks another significant step forward for the Football Manager series as we introduce the UEFA Club Competitions and bring the game to PlayStation 5. Adding these historic competitions is an ideal fit for all parties involved and will add another dynamic and challenging element for fans that makes this year’s edition the most realistic football management simulation available.”

– Miles Jacobson, Sports Interactive’s studio director

Fans purchasing physical copies of FM23 will notice that this year’s edition does not include a disc. Instead, every pack contains a unique code that, once redeemed, enables play via Steam, Epic Games or the Microsoft Store.

Removing the disc and notebook from this year’s edition and further refinements to our eco-packaging means that the overall carbon footprint for FM23’s packaging is 47% lower than FM22’s. All in all, the overall gCO2 equivalent of the Football Manager packaging has fallen from 256 for Football Manager 2019 to just 66 for FM23.
