FM27 Mobile comes out on November 10, 2026, on iOS and Android, and it’s only available through Netflix. That’s the same day as every other digital version of Football Manager 27. You need a Netflix membership, and the game is included in every plan at no extra cost. Sports Interactive (SI) hasn’t announced an unlock time yet, and it hasn’t revealed FM27 Mobile’s new features either. The studio says the Mobile, Touch and Console deep dives are next on its list.
This page collects what is officially confirmed about FM27 Mobile so far. It covers platforms, cost, how it differs from FM27 Touch on Apple Arcade, and what happens to your FM26 Mobile save, with each claim linked to Sports Interactive, Netflix or the app stores.

FM27 Mobile release date and time
SI announced the date on September 29: FM27 PC launches on November 10, and “FM27 Console (Xbox/PS5), including Game Pass Console subscribers, and FM27 Mobile (Netflix) will also launch from 10 November” (SI launch announcement). The FAQ on the official FM27 page repeats it for every digital version.
No time of day has been published for any platform. When a time appears, these conversions apply. UK clocks went back on October 25, so the UK is on GMT, which equals UTC. US clocks go back on November 1, so on launch day US Eastern time (EST) is UTC minus 5 hours and US Pacific (PST) is UTC minus 8.
As of October 31, the FM27 Mobile store pages weren’t live yet. Searching “FM27 Mobile” in the US and UK App Store returned only Football Manager 26 Mobile. That app was last updated to version 26.4.2 on June 25, 2026, and it has no pre-order page. Netflix’s game page also still shows FM26 Mobile.

The PC Launch Preview, and how the free and paid stages work, are in our FM27 Launch Preview and early access guide.
Is FM27 Mobile free with Netflix?
Yes, if you already pay for Netflix. SI says FM27 Mobile will be on iOS and Android “exclusively via Netflix” (platform FAQ). Netflix’s game page says “every Netflix plan includes unlimited access to exclusive mobile games with no ads, extra fees, or in-app purchases”, and its US version says “play uninterrupted starting at $8.99”. Anyone without a Netflix membership can’t play it, because the store listing starts with “NETFLIX MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED”.
Netflix’s mobile games help page says a game won’t appear on a profile whose maturity setting is below the game’s rating. If FM27 Mobile is missing from a profile on launch day, check that setting first.
FM27 Mobile vs FM27 Touch: which one is for you?
Both versions run on an iPhone, and both arrive on November 10. They are different games with different subscriptions. Mobile is sold through Netflix, and its store listing calls it “built for decisive play and quick progress”. Touch is SI’s Apple Arcade version.
| FM27 Mobile | FM27 Touch | |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription | Netflix (any plan) | Apple Arcade |
| Devices | iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets | iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV |
| Android | Yes | No |
| Cloud saves across devices | No on FM26 Mobile (Netflix help page) | Yes, “using the cloud” (SI) |
| Saves from last year | Not announced for FM27 (FM26 Mobile could import FM24 Mobile saves) | “Continue saves from past titles” (SI) |
| How you get it | Netflix app (Mobile Games row) or App Store / Google Play | The FM26 Touch App Store page updates to FM27 Touch on November 10 |
| Announced changes | None yet | iPhone Skin, Recruitment and Match Preparation |
The Touch details come from SI’s Apple Arcade announcement (October 20). The Mobile save details come from Netflix’s FM26 Mobile support page.
What’s new in FM27 Mobile?
SI hasn’t said yet. Its eight FM27 feature deep dives focus on the PC game. The FAQ under the Shuffle Draft deep dive says “our next focus will be on non-PC titles this year, showcasing the fresh features and new additions that evolve each of FM27 Console, FM27 Touch and FM27 Mobile.” No Mobile article had appeared on footballmanager.com by October 31.
Last year’s timing gives a rough guide, though it isn’t a promise. SI’s FM26 Mobile features showcase was online by October 31, 2025 (Wayback Machine’s first capture), four days before FM26 launched on November 4, 2025. Netflix’s own Tudum explainer ran on launch day. A similar FM27 Mobile reveal in the week before November 10 would fit that pattern.
Don’t assume FM27 Mobile gets the PC features. Tactical Tweaks, Tactical Effectiveness and Shuffle Draft (covered in our FM27 new features guide) have only been announced for the PC game. Mobile has followed its own path before: SI’s FM26 showcase said FM26 Mobile was “the only title in the suite not moving to Unity at this time”, the engine the other FM26 versions moved to.

What FM26 Mobile added (the starting point for FM27)
To judge what FM27 Mobile adds, you need the current version. According to SI’s FM26 Mobile showcase and the store listings, FM26 Mobile brought in:
- A fully licensed Premier League (badges, kits and player photos).
- Women’s football: 13 playable leagues across 10 nations, in one world with the men’s game.
- A FIFA World Cup 2026 Challenge mode and deeper international management.
- Match Preparation training with temporary attribute boosts, plus more detailed Training Reports.
- A Low Block tactical style and two new roles, the Inverted Full-Back and the Wide Centre-Back.
- Financial regulations with fines and points deductions, plus affiliate-club requests and end-of-season contract talks.
- Save carry-over from FM24 Mobile (there was no FM25).
The FM26 tactical basics still apply until SI says otherwise. Our FM Mobile best tactics guide explains the formations most mobile managers start from.
Will my FM26 Mobile save carry over to FM27 Mobile?
That isn’t confirmed. SI has promised save continuity only for FM27 Touch (“continue saves from past titles”) and for PC saves started in the FM27 Launch Preview. There’s a precedent on mobile: FM26 Mobile’s store page says you can “carry over saves from Football Manager 2024 Mobile”. Until SI confirms it for FM27, treat a carry-over as possible but not promised.
Two practical points come from Netflix’s FM26 Mobile support page. FM26 Mobile has no cloud saves, so if you uninstall the game or switch phones, “you’ll start from the beginning”. It also plays offline. If you want to keep your FM26 career for a possible import, keep FM26 Mobile installed on the same device until SI publishes FM27 Mobile’s details.
New app or an update to FM26 Mobile?
SI hasn’t said. For Touch it has: the FM26 Touch page “will automatically update to FM27 Touch”. The Netflix app’s history suggests something similar, but this is our reading and not an announcement. FM26 Mobile uses the same App Store listing (id 6446123740, first released November 6, 2023) that launched as “Football Manager 2024 Mobile” (Wayback Machine captures from 2023 and 2025). On Google Play it uses the same generic package name, com.netflix.NGP.FootballManagerMobile. On launch day, check the Netflix app’s Mobile Games row and the listing’s name. If it changes to FM27 Mobile, update the app. If a separate FM27 Mobile app appears, install that one instead.
How to download FM27 Mobile on November 10
- Check your device. The current FM26 Mobile listing needs iOS 17 or later and takes about 2.2 GB on iPhone. Netflix recommends Android 9, iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 or newer for its games. FM27 Mobile’s own requirements aren’t published yet.
- Open the Netflix app and find the Mobile Games row (on Android you can also use the Games shortcut). Tap the game, then Get Game, and the App Store or Google Play opens.
- Or search the store directly for the game’s name. Netflix games list “Netflix, Inc.” as the seller.
- Sign in with your Netflix account if asked, and pick a profile. On FM26 Mobile, saves stay on the device.
If you’d rather play on a bigger screen with the full feature set, the PC version’s free Launch Preview runs until November 3. Our FM27 beginner’s guide covers a first save. The FM27 wonderkids list covers the young players worth signing early.
