FM20 Beta release
Miles Jacobson confirmed that once again FM20 Beta version of the game, which is in fact early access of the full game, will be released to public in two weeks before the official release date.
Some of the info on the game is already known, like FM20 being featured on Google Stadia this year.
With Google Stadia, Sports Interactive studio will launch a title on an entirely new games platform for the 1st time in their history. A platform that, over time, has incredible possibilities for the industry, like the chance for people with low spec devices to play full PC/console experiences, for a start.
This, however, will not mean that FM20 will be taken off Steam.
Football Manager 2020 Release Date
We have the date, it's November 19th, Beta version of the game will be released two weeks prior that date.
These announcements will have new features reveals, release date details, how FM20 will work on Google Stadia, exactly what platforms each game will be on & more.

In comparison, Football Manager 2019 release date was announced on August 6 followed with a trailer.
However, the gaffer said via his twitter that unlike FM19, FM20 release date will not be announced until the end of the month (for lots of good reasons)
Lots of you are obviously very excited about #FM20 and asking me when announcements are going to happen.— Miles Jacobson (@milesSI) August 13, 2019
I know we often announce early in August, but this year we won't be announcing anything until the end of the month for lots of good reasons - thank you for your patience.

FM20 Beta release date
FM19 beta version of the game was released two weeks before the official date, October 19, so we can expect from FM2020 beta to be no exception to this rule.
So if Football Manager 2020 does get released sometime in November, we can probably expect for the beta to drop late October.
