Football Manager 2025 system requirements

To run the FM25 system requirements, you would have needed an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 graphics card, an Intel Core i3-530 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 20GB of HDD or SSD space. 

Sadly, even if you do meet the FM25 PC requirements, there's no way to play the game as it was cancelled by the developer on February 7, 2025, barely a month before it was due to release.

Football Manager 25 wasn't slated to be a demanding game by any means, and even a laptop from more than 5 years ago would have been more than enough to meet the Football manager 2025 PC requirements. 

In order to meet the FM25 minimum requirements, you would have needed an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 graphics card, an Intel Core i3-520 processor, and only 4GB of RAM. As entry requirements go, most modern laptops would have had no issues meeting this benchmark, even if they didn't get the best performance out of the game. 

The FM25 recommended specs only required an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, an Intel Core i5-9600 CPU, and 12GB of RAM. This was quite a jump from the minimum requirements, but is a mute point with the game meeting cancellation.

FM25 size - How big is Football Manager 25?

The Football Manager 25 download size on PC would have required 20GB of HD space. 

Installing the game on an SSD to ensure the best gameplay performance would have been our recommendation had the game not been cancelled. Still, you might need more space for the game's replacement, and to meet the FM26 requirements.
