Football Manager 2025 Cancelled: Sports Interactive Prioritizes Quality Over Release

Fans of the popular football management simulator, Football Manager, are facing disappointment. Sports Interactive has announced the cancellation of Football Manager 2025 across all platforms, including the anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games.

The developer cited insufficient technical quality as the primary reason for this abrupt decision. The cancellation follows several release date postponements. This news is particularly disheartening given the planned Netflix Games launch, which was expected to attract a significant new player base.

A Difficult Decision

The late cancellation, originally slated for March, is understandably frustrating for fans. The lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24 further compounds this disappointment.

However, the decision to prioritize technical quality over a rushed, subpar release deserves some acknowledgment. It demonstrates a commitment to maintaining the series' high standards. The hope remains that Football Manager 26 will not only meet expectations but also return to the Netflix Games platform.
