Sports Interactive have delayed Football Manager 2025 to March 2025 in order to deliver the best possible experience for the players.

Less than two weeks from the official release date announcement, Sports Interactive and Sega have decided to push Football Manager 2025 to March 2025.

"After careful consideration, Sports Interactive have made the tough decision to further delay the release of Football Manager 25. Following discussions with SEGA, our licensors and partners, we have agreed the best course of action is to delay the launch until March 2025," the dev team wrote in the announcement post.

The team simpy felt that they are under too much pressure which could backfire and result in an underwhelming product.  

"Timelines were already tight and, as rightly pointed out by many of your recent comments, we were simply rushing too much and in danger of compromising our usual standards. This has put an enormous amount of pressure on everyone working across the studio, who are all passionately committed to delivering the best game possible."
