One last chance to win a current FMFC home shirt, exclusive to FMFC members. 

Over the last nine months, 38 lucky FMFC members from 17 countries have won one of our FMFC home jerseys in our weekly draws. To end the season on a high, we’re giving away 30 more shirts in a bumper giveaway.

21 clubs. 21 grounds. 1,000 miles. On a bike.

That’s the challenge Football Manager researcher Ryan O’Connell has set himself this season, as he plans to cycle to every ground in the division, raising funds for Prostate Cancer UK along the way.

Between the opening game this Saturday, August 14th, to the final fixtures on May 7th, Ryan will cover roughly 1,000 miles on his bike, hitting the roads and cycle lanes from Braintree Town and Chelmsford City in Essex to Bath City and Chippenham Town in the west of England.

Complete your pre-season preparations and join the summer transfer party by downloading FM21, now at up to 60% off on all platforms.

The sale period runs until 6pm GMT on Wednesday 18th August, but timings vary by platform (see table below for full information).

Football fans have spent the last 18 months writing their own football stories on Football Manager. Now it’s time to pause your virtual career and get back out there, out into the real world, to play your part in new football stories. 

This weekend, experience the thrill of live football again. 

Whenever I mention women’s football on social media, people inevitably respond by asking when we’re going to release a women’s football version of Football Manager. Up until now, I’ve always replied with vague answers such as “When we do it, we’ll do it properly”.

What I haven’t said, because we tend to keep our plans under wraps, is that we’ve been working on women’s football in the background for some time now. A few people inside football are aware of this, as we’ve been talking to them about it behind the scenes, but now I believe that the time is right to go public with our plans.

Secure the perfect companion for this summer of football with all versions of Football Manager 2021 now at least 45% off across a wide range of digital retailers. 

The sale period runs until 6pm on July 12th but timings vary by platform and region (see table below for full details).

We are looking for a small group of dedicated individuals to join Sports Interactive’s Quality Assurance (QA) team, helping to ensure that our games are the best they can be.

Football Manager QA Testers are responsible for assessing new and existing features, analysing data and providing valuable feedback and online support to our players.

Social media companies must do more to stop online abuse. That is why this weekend we are coming together with English football and other sports and organisations, to boycott social media and demand change.

Sports Interactive will join the EFL, English football and wider sport in switching off our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, from 3pm Friday 30 April to 11.59pm on Monday 3 May.  

Now’s your chance to enjoy a strong finish to the season, as all versions of Football Manager 2021 are available now at up to 35% off across a wide range of digital retailers.

The sale runs from now until 11am BST on April 16th, although the timings and discounts vary from game to game (see the table below for full details).
