FD 27 Roadmap

FD 27: Direct Your Football Club. This is the plan

We are very proud to finally announce the plan we have for FD 27. After the success of the demo, we want to share the next steps with you.

On August 14, 2026, the Early Access launch arrives. In FD 27 you are not the coach. You are the owner of the club. You make the big decisions: signings, finances, facilities, staff and everything surrounding the life of a football club.

Here is everything that's coming, phase by phase.

0.1 Launch

The foundation everything is built on. Two countries, six divisions and thousands of players and employees so that every decision counts from the very first minute.

• 2 available countries — Spain and England, with their respective competitive pyramids.

• 6 playable divisions — Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two in England. La Liga and Segunda División in Spain.

• +6,000 players — An extensive roster with attributes, market values, personalities and their own career paths.

• +1,500 employees — Coaches, scouts, doctors, fitness trainers and sporting directors. Build the structure that defines your club.

• +100 sponsors — Negotiate deals for shirt, sleeve, shorts and stadium. Each brand has its own demands and brings different capital.

• 8 facilities — Stadium, training ground, gym, medical department, official store, museum, offices and scouting center. Upgrade them or build them from scratch.

• Under 19 youth academy — Start developing your young prospects within the club from the ground up.

• Market scouting center — Send a scout to a country to track down and discover players.

0.2 Leagues and European Competition

The map expands. Compete in Europe, take a first look at Asian football and open the door to eleven new leagues.

• European competition — Compete in Europe with its league phases and knockout rounds. Prizes, prestige and financial rewards.

• +10 new European leagues — Italy, Germany, France, Russia, Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Czechia, Turkey, Poland and Scotland.

0.3 Youth Academy

The future of the club starts at eleven years old. Develop your prospects at home and track talent around the world.

• International training centers — Open branches in other countries to recruit young prospects and develop them under your methods.

• Prospects with identity — Each academy will have distinct profiles, shaped by the region, the club's resources and your philosophy.

0.4 Create your club

If the existing clubs don't match your vision, create your own and write its history from day one.

• Create your own club from scratch — Name, city, crest, kit, starting stadium and founding budget.

• Your own identity and philosophy — Decide what your club represents. Control its culture and playing style from the start.

0.5 Player relationships

Squad management gains depth. How you treat your players matters as much as the results.

• Fines and internal sanctions — Enforce discipline when needed.

Notes on pricing

As we have said from the beginning, the cost of the base game in its 0.1 version will be €11.99. We cannot guarantee that this price will stay the same throughout the entire project. So if you want to secure the lowest possible price, our recommendation is to buy it in the 0.1 version. We do this to reward all the players who believed in this project from the start.
