Playtesting Program for FM27 - Register Your Interest

Hey everyone,

Today we’d like to share news on expanding our approach to Football Manager playtesting, and how you can get involved.

We understand the need to ensure feedback is heard ahead of the next FM, in sufficient time to be reviewed by internal teams. So, we are bringing our playtesting experience into a new era, partnering with FirstLook, allowing you to register your interest to play early builds through the final stages of development.

Learning from previous programs and user feedback, for FM27 we are opening our playtesting opportunities to a wider group, allowing more of you to help us shape the development of the game, starting in the coming weeks.

Playtesting enables players early access to development builds of FM27, featuring new features and improvements. All that we ask is that you play as much as possible and provide feedback, respond to surveys, along with reporting any bugs you find. The internal teams will then utilise this feedback to make further changes going forward.

You’ll also get access to exclusive testing spaces on the SI Forums and Discord, to interact with other testers and some of the Sports Interactive Community and Development Teams.

You can register your interest and join the waitlist today. During the sign-up form you’ll be asked about your FM experience; please answer honestly as we are looking for players with a variety of game experience. Registering your interest does not guarantee entry into the program – all submissions will be reviewed and the Sports Interactive decision on accepted users is final.

Alongside this online testing, we’re conducting in-studio playtesting, collaborating with players who have consistently provided useful feedback on FM, be it positive or negative. Selected members of the community are being contacted by the SI Community Team, giving us a broad range of feedback in different environments to help inform the studio’s plans.

We look forward to updating you again soon, and to collaborate with some of you on the FM27 playtesting plans. Thank you!
