FM27 Mobile saves, carry-over and offline play FAQ

Yes, you can continue an old career. SEGA says that after updating, your FM24 and FM26 Mobile saves appear under Load Game, and Sports Interactive confirms you can continue from either. Tactics and training setups carry across too. But Netflix’s support page says FM27 Mobile does not use cloud saves: uninstalling the game or switching to another device means starting again. Offline play is supported.

Protecting your career

Update, do not reinstall. The safe path from FM26 Mobile is the in-place store update. Deleting the app to “start fresh” deletes local saves.
Keep the same device. Without cloud saves, a career lives on the phone or tablet where you play it. Netflix has not published a cross-device transfer method for this game.
Check storage first. The update is about 2.3 GB on iOS. Running out of space mid-update is avoidable.

After loading an old save

SEGA notes that carried-over tactics keep working, but the new tactical roles are only used if you set them up. It is worth opening Tactics after the first load and reviewing each role. FM27 Mobile also adds new tactics guidance; see beginner tips.

Playing offline

Netflix lists offline play as supported for FM27 Mobile. You still need an internet connection to download, install and update the game, and to sign in with Netflix in the first place. Netflix has not published how often a connection is needed after that, so this site does not give a figure.

Lost progress

Netflix’s advice: if you uninstalled or reset game data, it cannot be recovered. If you did neither and progress vanished, contact Netflix through the help page, which also links to the Football Manager help site.
