Football Manager 27 Touch launched on Apple Arcade on November 10, 2026, as an update to the existing app, featuring an elevated Match Engine, new Recruitment and Match Preparation tools, and a redesigned iPhone interface. Apple also announced four more games arriving on the service on December 3.
Why it matters
The addition expands the soccer management offering on Apple Arcade, a subscription service whose catalog is accessible to subscribers for a flat monthly fee. Subscribers get the title without separate purchase, which positions the service as a destination for sports management games alongside its broader library.
Apple Arcade is priced at $6.99 per month or bundled through Apple One and offers unlimited access to more than 200 games with no ads or in-app purchases. Four additional titles, including Prince of Persia Lost Crown+ and Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, arrive December 3.
