Football Manager News

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 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.

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. 

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. 

Progress never stops in the pursuit of managerial greatness and players around the world can uncover new ways to win with Football Manager 2024 Early Access now live on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

If you’ve pre-purchased from a SEGA-approved digital retailer, Early Access for FM24 is now fully playable*. As with previous editions, any progress made in Career mode can be carried forward when your game updates to full release on November 6th.

It's not too late to get involved - pre-purchase FM24 now on Steam, Epic Games or a participating digital retailer and you'll get Early Access and 10% off any time before full release on November 6th.

The long-awaited journey to Japan is nearing with the landmark arrival of the J.League in Football Manager 2024.

Meiji Yasuda Insurance Ltd J1, J2 and J3 leagues will be fully unlocked and playable across our suite of titles, with Japanese also available as an in-game language for the first time ever in the 20th and most complete edition in the FM series to date.

To celebrate the 20th edition of the Football Manager series and Football Manager 2024 launching across all platforms globally from November 6th, we are giving away 20 prize bundles to our FMFC members.

Every winner will receive our stunning new FMFC 24 home shirt and a physical copy of FM24 for PC / Mac.

Thank you all for your feedback on the Development Update blog that we released in June. It was great seeing so many people talking about the future potential of the Football Manager series on our forums and social media.

When writing blogs like that one, it’s always difficult to find the right balance between trying to be transparent and being careful not to talk about things too early. As a big fan of certain TV shows that are full of community ‘theory forums’, I’ve always enjoyed speculating with other people’s work, but always find it a bit odd with our own work, despite the fact that players being excited to get their hands on more information is probably the most gratifying thing that can happen for our team! We hope we got the balance right and the feedback we received means further transparency with today's blog and more to come in the future.

In this blog, I’ll be talking about what happens next with the rollout of FM24’s features as well as some new partnerships which will benefit both this year’s release and future titles beyond. 

The relentless pursuit of progress defines Football Manager 2024, which debuts globally across platforms from November 6th.

Driven by a constantly evolving quest to deliver complete football authenticity, FM24 is the most complete edition in the series yet, filled with new additions that deepen your immersion and elevate your gameplay experience. 

FM24 Console, FM24 Touch and FM24 Mobile are also warming up for the new campaign, with all three set to launch from November 6th. 

Football Manager 2024 Mobile will launch exclusively for Netflix members from November 6th. 

Now, through Netflix’s global reach and membership base, more players than ever before can fast-track their way to footballing glory and benefit from the addition of four new languages to the game.

In June, we launched a competition to build a Football Manager 2023 all-star newgen XI, powered directly by you, our FMFC members. 

We wanted to hear directly from you about your best FM23 newgens, learning about those bargains you snapped up from non-league to those international wonderkids that had powered you to UEFA Champions League glory.

This blog is one that I have been looking forward to writing and we’re delighted to finally be able to update you all on the future direction of Football Manager. I’m going to talk about FM23, FM24, and in a first for us as a studio, look a bit further ahead beyond the next iteration of the game to one of the biggest changes in our history. And there’s a lot to talk about so, whilst I apologise for the length, I hope you find it an interesting insight into what we’ve been up to at the studio.
