SEGA has announced free-to-play Football Manager-powered management simulation game SEGA Football Club Champions 2026 launches on January 22, 2026 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Android, iOS, and PC via Steam. Two new trailers were released featuring former professional football player Keisuke Honda.
Originally planned to release in 2025, SEGA delayed the game and retitled it to SEGA Football Club Champions 2026. The delay was a result of feedback from the closed beta test for SEGA Football Club Champions 2025. More development time will be used to further develop the game’s quality and introduce new features.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via the official website:
SEGA Football Club Champions 2025 is the latest multiplatform football management simulator from SEGA! Play for free! Start off with a small club competing locally, and aim to take on the world!
