Not for free. You can purchase a license and downgrade it to Fusion 11.5
That's curious .. Fusion 12 does run on a Catalina mac down here 
The whole yearly upgrade cycle and all the system requirements nitty gritty does get confusing sometimes.
So the deal is that you can run Fusion 12 on Catalina, but not Fusion 12.2 as the latter one requires Big Sur as the minimum host OS.
The last Fusion 12 version you can run is 12.1.2.

If your mac supports it, then an upgrade to Big Sur might make sense.
Note however that on Big Sur your VMs will be running under apple's hypervisor and IMO that's still so-so compared to VMware's old hypervisor.
From a security point of view ---> go update it all now to the very latest...
Sometimes however that isn't practical. If for example your hardware doesn't support it, then upgrading might just expose different issues (for example due to lacking metal features) and I would not recommend the upgrade to Big Sur.
