FM27 Touch

FM27 Touch is Football Manager 27's Apple Arcade edition for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, out on Nov 10, 2026, when the FM26 Touch App Store page updates to it automatically. Unlike Football Manager 26 Touch, it is not coming to Nintendo Switch.

2:38 FM27 Touch launches on Apple Arcade on Nov 10, 2026 for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, and the existing FM26 Touch page on the App Store turns into FM27 Touch that day by itself. It comes with an Apple Arcade subscription, carries on careers from earlier Touch games and syncs them across Apple devices through the cloud. SI has named three areas that change, the iPhone Skin, Recruitment and Match Preparation, without details as of Nov 1, 2026. There is no Switch version this year.
