Football Manager 27 will be free to play for five days before its full release, in "industry first" for a game of its kind

You can play Football Manager 27 on PC and Mac for free this year for five full days later this month, in a first for the series and apparently an "industry first" for games of its kind. The free period itself will start on 29th October at 6pm GMT, and run until its typical paid 'launch preview' period starts on the 3rd November, which is available to those who pre-order the game before its full launch on 10th November.
