Football Manager 26 system requirements for PC and laptop

To meet the Football Manager 26 requirements, you will need an AMD Radeon R9 380 GPU, an AMD FX-4100 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 20GB of HD space.

As was to be expected, the official FM 26 specs were identical to the Football Manager 25 system requirements following the cancellation of FM 25, and they aren't challenging at all even for older PCs and laptops. However, getting the game to run at its best will require some beefier hardware, but even that should prove little issue for modern gaming rigs. 

The Football Manager 26 minimum requirements only need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 graphics card, an Intel Core i3-530 processor, and 4GB of RAM. 

The Football Manager 26 recommended specs, on the other hand, are more demading, requiring an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, an Intel Core i5-9600 CPU, and 12GB of RAM.
