Football Manager 2017 release date set

SEGA and Sports Interactive today announced the release date of Football Manager 2017 as well as some of the benefits of pre-ordering.

Football is well and truly back, but if you’re a Football Manager fan you’ll have to wait until November to play 2017’s iteration. SEGA and Sports Interactive announced that Football Manager 2017 will be released on November 4 on PC, Mac, and Linux.

Football Manager Touch 2017 will also be released on the same day. It will be available as a standalone title or offered for free to those who purchase the regular version.

Pre-ordering the game from select digital partners will get you access to the game two weeks early via a beta. All single player progress made in the beta will be carried over to the full game.

Pre-orders from participating retailers will also come with DLC for Football Manager Touch 2017, including "Board over-ride", "No firing", "All job applications", "National management," and 3 new challenges for the Challenge game mode.
