FM26 Mobile players have been eagerly waiting for the 2025–2026 winter transfer update, and development is now nearing completion. With the upcoming early March update for the PC version of Football Manager 26, the winter transfer update will also roll out for FM26 Mobile, which is exclusively available via Netflix. We are looking for an answer to the question: When will the FM26 mobile update be released?
Here are all the details regarding the expected FM26 Mobile winter transfer update release date.
Starting with Football Manager 2024, Sports Interactive signed a partnership with Netflix to make the Mobile version available exclusively and free for Netflix subscribers. This collaboration has continued with FM26.
FM26 Mobile was officially released on November 4 via:
- Netflix Games
- Google Play Store
- Apple App Store
The most recent update for FM26 Mobile was released on January 8, 2026, and the countdown for the official winter transfer update is now underway.
As players continue asking, “When will the Football Manager 26 Mobile winter transfer update be released?”, we can look at previous versions of the series for reference.
Historically, Mobile winter updates are released shortly after the PC version receives its major transfer database update — typically within a few days to one week.
Since the FM26 PC winter update is expected in the first week of March, the FM26 Mobile winter transfer update is also likely to arrive within that same timeframe.
