FM will make its debut on home PlayStation consoles with Football Manager 2023 Console launching on PS5. For more information on this much-anticipated addition to the range, please visit our dedicated announcement.
Another exciting development will see our Touch series return to Apple devices after a year’s absence as Football Manager 2023 Touch joins the Apple Arcade catalogue. For the first time on iPhone, FM players will get to experience our acclaimed 3D Match Engine, which in turn will also be available to Apple Arcade subscribers on iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Full feature information and functionality will be revealed in October. In the meantime, you can learn more about Football Manager on Apple Arcade and visit Apple Arcade via the App Store to set up a reminder notification for when the game is available.
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 revealed in early October.

EARLY ACCESS ON PC/MAC
Pre-purchase FM23 (Steam/Epic/Microsoft Store) before November 8th from any participating digital retailer* to bag a 20% discount and the Early Access version of the game, which is typically available two weeks before the street release date.**
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, in addition to 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.
HANDHELD TITLES RETURN FOR THE NEW SEASON
Football Manager 2023 Mobile (iOS/Android) will kick off another successful campaign on November 8th.
FM23 Mobile will be available for pre-order on the App Store and pre-registration on Google Play from early October. By pre-ordering FM23 Mobile on iOS, you’ll own the game and be able to play immediately upon release. For Android users, FM23 Mobile pre-registration means you’ll be notified when the game is available.
Completing the line-up is Football Manager 2023 Touch on Nintendo Switch™, which will be available from November 8th.
