This includes Crystal Palace Women, complete with official player photos, licensed club logos, and authentic kits.

First-Time Experience for Palace Fans

For the first time, Palace fans will have the opportunity to manage stars such as Molly-Mae Sharpe and Abbie Larkin, leading the Eagles to success in England’s top two women’s leagues. This launch comes as the 2025/26 WSL season is expected to be the biggest yet, giving fans a new, interactive way to connect with their team.

Leadership Comments

“We’re thrilled to welcome the Barclays Women’s Super League and Women’s Super League 2 to the Football Manager family for FM26. Managers and figures within the league have been integral to the introduction of women’s football to our games, so it was only right that the leagues themselves were authentically represented too,” said Miles Jacobson, Studio Director at Sports Interactive.

Launch Date

Football Manager 26 will be released across all platforms on Tuesday, 4 November 2025, giving supporters around the world the chance to experience the women’s game in Football Manager for the first time.
