We all love an underdog and in Football Manager 2024, the best underdog stories are written when managing in non-league.

Across the UK, non-league football is where you’ll find an abundance of passion and enthusiasm. This goes from the dedicated volunteers helping out on matchdays to the avid fans behind the goal, supporting their team through thick and thin.

Whether you manage a team that recently dropped down from the EFL, or you step into the dugout at a club making their Vanarama National League South debut, starting a career in the lower divisions can deliver Football Manager memories to last a lifetime.

To celebrate Non-League Day on Saturday, 23rd March, we’re on the search for your best non-league management stories in FM24. Non-League Day is an annual tradition, started in 2010, that helps to promote the importance of affordable volunteer-led community football while giving fans across the country the chance to show support for their local side.

Maybe you’ve caused a major cup upset, just like Maidstone United earlier this season, or perhaps you’ve achieved multiple promotions and unprecedented success in Europe. Whatever your story, we want to hear about it.

We’ll select our 10 favourite save stories and highlight them in a future blog on the FM website and the FMFC Hub. The 10 winning entrants will also receive an FMFC 24 home shirt.

The competition will close at 5pm GMT on Wednesday, 27th March. Terms and conditions apply.

Football Manager 2024’s Main Data Update* is now live across all platforms.

This initial refresh features more than six million data changes and includes updated squads following the most recent transfer window. It also contains changes to the Current Ability ratings and Attributes to tens of thousands of players based on their real-world performances since FM24’s launch.

Rosters for certain licensed leagues whose seasons run to the calendar year will only be reflective up until the end of the 2023 season and will not include incoming and outgoing transfers made for 2024.

Football Manager 2024 gives you the opportunity to put yourself in the shoes of a real manager, taking charge of the world’s biggest clubs and battling for football’s top trophies. 

We’re now offering our FMFC members the chance to go a step further and add themselves to the FM24 database as a newgen. A personalised FMFC 24 home shirt will also be sent to the winner.  

A newgen is a newly generated player or staff member, one that doesn't exist in real life but comes through in your game world as your save game progresses. 

It's these newgens that we usually form our closest attachments to as Football Manager players, as wonderfully illustrated by the stories our FMFC members shared with us last year when we created our dream Newgen XI.

The lucky winner will be able to personalise many elements of their newgen’s profile. This ranges from their full name and nationality to the languages they speak, their height, favourite club and preferred position. 

Previous winners have elected to enter the game as strikers but you can be whatever you want, including a member of staff. Do you see yourself as a shot-stopping Goalkeeper or will you be inspired by one of FM24’s headline additions and choose to be a Set Piece Coach?

The ability and reputation of your newgen is entirely random, as is the point at which they enter your game world. You could appear in the first season but you might not until 10 years down the line. Likewise, you won’t be a five-star prospect every time but finding out how good you are, and sharing that moment with your friends, is well worth the wait.

Entries for this competition close at 10am on Friday, 2nd February, with the winner set to enter FM24 in our next update. Terms and conditions apply. 

Kick off the festive period with Football Manager 2024 now 10% off on PC/Mac*. 

This promotion is only applicable to FM24 (Steam/Epic/Microsoft Store) and runs until 3pm GMT on Wednesday, 27th December. 
 

FMFC’s latest exclusive competition is giving you the chance to kick your gaming experience into a new gear in 2024.

Two lucky FMFC members will win tech bundles comprising a MAG CH130X Gaming Chair, a CyberPowerPC Skorpion K2 RGB mechanical keyboard and an FMFC 24 home shirt.

Modelled on race car seats, the MAG CH130 X's design is conformed to how the spine curves. The high-grade velvet used on the side provides a soft and comfortable texture and the slight tilt design at the top offers even better support for your head.

The CyberPowerPC Skorpion K2 RGB keyboard, meanwhile, possesses individually backlit keys with dynamic lighting effects, as well as 16 million RGB colours. 

Aside from the two lead prizes, 10 other entrants will also win an FMFC 24 home Shirt. 

The competition closes on Monday, January 8th at 10AM GMT. Terms and conditions apply.
 

The UEFA Champions League is the pinnacle of European club football and to coincide with the final matches in this year’s group stage, one lucky FMFC member will win an UEFA Champions League Official Match Ball. 

Football Manager are honoured to announce a new club partnership with Yokohama F. Marinos.

The deal with five-time J. League winners is our first with a Japanese club.

Shortly after Football Manager 2024’s release on November 6th, an issue was noted with the FM24 Demo on Steam.

This issue has now been resolved but, in order to do so, we had to remove it from Steam and resubmit it.

The new version of the Demo is available now to download. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

It’s time to go again, with Football Manager 2024 now live and available to play across all platforms. 

If you’ve been enjoying Early Access to FM24 (PC/Mac) on Steam or Epic Games, you can simply quit and restart the relevant launcher to update your game to the full release build. As a reminder, any career progress made during Early Access can be carried forward. 

After a stellar debut campaign, Football Manager 2024 Touch returns to Apple Arcade from November 6th. 

Whether you’re playing on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV, FM24 Touch puts you into the shoes of a real manager and empowers you to build a squad to compete for glory in football’s biggest competitions. 

After a phenomenal debut season, Football Manager, the world’s best football management game, returns to Apple Arcade on November 6th with Football Manager 2024 Touch.

With the arrival of the new Save Game Compatibility feature, all existing players on Apple Arcade will be able to continue their FM23 Touch careers into FM24 Touch and benefit from a host of new features being introduced this year.

Football Manager’s unmatched authenticity and realism is enhanced by the presence of fully-licensed teams, leagues, and competitions.

In FM24, our squad of partners is bolstered by the landmark arrival of the Meiji Yasuda Insurance Ltd J1, J2 and J3 leagues across our suite of titles.
