Football Manager 2025 Canceled After Multiple Delays
Sports Interactive has announced the cancellation of Football Manager 2025 across all platforms, including the planned mobile version. The development team explained this difficult decision stems from quality control issues, choosing instead to focus resources on the next installment of the popular franchise.
The cancellation comes as a particular disappointment following earlier announcements about the game's Netflix Games expansion, which promised to bring the franchise to new mobile audiences. This partnership now remains uncertain following today's news.

Sports Interactive's statement acknowledged the frustration this late-stage cancellation may cause, especially after previously confirming a March release window. Notably absent from their announcement was any commitment to updating last year's FM24 release to compensate fans.
While certainly disappointing, the decision demonstrates the studio's commitment to quality - choosing to scrap rather than ship an inferior product. When the series eventually returns with Football Manager 26, fans can hopefully look forward to the promised Netflix integration and other planned features.
