Soccer Manager 2027 Is Out: Release Date and Features

Soccer Manager 2027 is out. Developer Invincibles Studio Ltd announced the launch on Steam on 8 September 2026, and version 4.1.0, carrying the SM27 release notes, arrived on the App Store on 10 September 2026. The game is free to play on Android, iOS and Windows.

One important note: Soccer Manager 2027 is not Online Soccer Manager (OSM). OSM is developed by Gamebasics and its 26/27 season is live in a separate app called "OSM 27". The Soccer Manager series' store pages list Invincibles Studio Ltd as developer and publisher.

What's in the game

According to the Google Play page, SM27 features more than 900 clubs across 54 leagues in 36 countries, with a fully licensed Bundesliga.

Soccer Manager 2027 or OSM?

The two games are often confused. In short:

• Soccer Manager 2027: A single-player, career-focused game with a 3D match engine, from Invincibles Studio Ltd.
• Online Soccer Manager (OSM): Gamebasics' multiplayer manager game. According to its official help page it is a one-season game; when the season ends you pick a new team.
