According to SteamDB, the Initial 'placeholder' date was March 4th, but I think it's safer to assume we're going for a March 31st launch date until SI settle on the day.

FM25 Early Beta Access Explained |
The fully-playable Beta will be available no later than Monday, March 17th. However, my personal guess is that Football Manager 2025 Beta will unlock in early March.
We'll keep watching what Miles Jacobson says in his social posts or pre-release blogs and videos regarding this year's beta release.

we will be lucky to see FM26
we need an alternative product from somewhere, at the end of the day it’s a massive database with a flimsy game engine.
all the graphics are add ons by the community
@DAZS8: Can't blame anyone who skips FM25. It has been massively disappointing for all of us, especially considering this is how they wanted to kickstart the new era of the franchise.
I have had all FM games and earlier Champ Manager too but this is a massive NO for me.
Wait for FM26 (If they get that one right ) ans sticK to FM24 .....Unless this FM25 is somehow an out of this world improvement on previous versions.
