FM27 News and Deep Dive Dates
This is a calendar, not a race to rewrite Sports Interactive's blog. Each row is a public post with its date. The launch announcement is 29 September 2026 for a 10 November release. The Touch note is 20 October. The free-play note is 29 October, opening a window that had already been described on 21 October.
Deep dives through early October covered interface, atmosphere, the wider world, the 2D engine, Shuffle Draft, tactical tweaks and training. The gameplay preview video is 19 October and the first-look livestream is 22 October. I am not adding a 'next deep dive' date, because the official news list did not pin one when I read it.
Patch notes do not exist yet in any meaningful sense. The game is in a free preview, and the full release is still ahead. When a day-one patch is published, it gets its own URL under this section so it can be cited. A single undated 'latest patch' page would go stale on purpose, so I am not making one.
Community threads and preview headlines are linked from the review page. They are not news items unless they contain a fact the official post did not.
