Strap in and buckle up… The Football Manager 2019 Beta is officially here and ready for Install.

If you purchased FM19 from a participating digital retailer then you’re in for a treat, as this year’s Beta is fully playable and includes the Online Career mode and Fantasy Draft*. As always, any progress made in Career mode can and will be carried forward when the game updates on full release which is Friday, November 2nd.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The Beta is fairly close to the final version, however you may encounter bugs, glitches or other issues that we’ll be working tirelessly to fix before full release. Should you come across any please drop us the details at community.sigames.com 

You’ve no doubt been following our feature drops on our social channels, but if you need a refresher or are jumping in blind then check out our Feature Blogs, catch up on The FM Show or visit the ‘What’s new’ section highlighted below, which is available on the start screen.

You’ll notice straight away that everything looks cleaner and fresher than ever before, and there’s plenty more for you to discover as you take your first steps in FM19.
