FM27 Mobile
FM27 Mobile is Football Manager 27 for iOS and Android, out on Nov 10, 2026 exclusively through Netflix, so it needs a Netflix membership and is not sold on its own. As of Nov 1, 2026 Sports Interactive had not published its feature list.
FM27 Mobile is Football Manager 27 on iOS and Android, available exclusively via Netflix from Nov 10, 2026: it comes with a Netflix membership at no extra cost and cannot be bought separately.
