Sega and Sports Interactive have confirmed Football Manager 2016 will be released in three versions and PC and Macintosh simulation scheduled to release later this year on November 13.
The three versions are Football Manager 2016, Football Manager Touch and Football Manager Mobile. The main version is Football Manager 2016, which is for PC and Mac, while Football Manager Touch can be accessed for both computer and high-end tablets.
To access it on mobile devices, one can use Football Manager Mobile, which is available for all iOS and Android services.

A statement read, “SEGA® Europe Ltd. and Sports Interactive are proud to present football fans across the world with an opportunity to lead their favourite team to glory with the latest release in the multi-million selling, international smash hit Football Manager™ series.
“Due for release from mid-November, Football Manager 2016 will comprise a suite of simulations, designed to provide the perfect football management experience for the widest possible audience.”
“Previously known as Football Manager Classic, Football Manager Touch has, until now, been available as a ‘quick play’ mode within the full simulation (and for high-end tablets since March).
“Now, for the first time, it will be available separately through Steam (for PC and Macintosh), as well as for high-end tablets. Football Manager Mobile was formerly known as Football Manager Handheld.”
Sports Interactive gaffer Miles Jacobson is delighted after Football Manager was launched in three different versions.
“For some time now it’s been clear to us that there is no ‘one size fits all’ football management experience,” Jacobson said.
“While a huge number of our fans have the time and dedication required to devote themselves to the ‘full’ simulation, there’s an equally-large number who prefer a more streamlined option.
“Not only that, but the widespread availability of mobile devices means that people are playing in different ways. The introduction of Football Manager Touch as a standalone offering – playable across computer and tablet – means that we now offer something for everyone.”

- Manager On The Touchline: Get closer to the action than ever before with your own customisable character to bark out instructions and join the celebrations from the touchline.
- Improved Matchday Experience: More than 2,000 new animations make the Football Manager 2016 match engine the best ever. There’s also more control when planning set pieces and a new highlights package to keep you up-to-date with all the action from every league.
Football Manager Touch 2016
