Football Manager News

We’re delighted to announce that Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition is out now. 

FM21 is out now, you’ve selected your save and are ready to take your first step on the path to footballing greatness. 

To help make that journey a little bit easier and even more entertaining we’ve partnered with The Athletic to bring you The Football Manager Show, a weekly podcast that will give you the lowdown on tactics, recruitment, training, and anything else that might give you an edge. It really is the perfect listening companion while you’re progressing through the game.

The presence of licensed teams, leagues, and competitions adds to Football Manager’s already incredible authenticity and realism. As such, we are proud to be working with the licensors listed below for FM21.

The time has arrived… Football Manager 2021 is out now.

PC and Mac users can download and play FM21 now from the Epic Games Store and Steam. Those who have been enjoying the FM21 Beta can find details below on how to update their game and continue their progress. 

We’re also delighted to say that FM21 Mobile can now be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play. Those of you who pre-ordered on iOS devices will be able to play immediately. 

We’re delighted to be returning to Xbox for the first time in over a decade with Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition, out December 1st. 

Based on Football Manager Touch, FM21 Xbox is fully optimised for victory with the Xbox Controller on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. You can effortlessly put yourself on the path to footballing greatness with a UI that has been tailored for Xbox consoles and makes navigating through the game world a breeze.

We’re delighted to finally reveal that Football Manager 2021 Touch will be released on December 1st for PC/Mac, iPad and Android tablets.

The wait is finally over - the Football Manager 2021 Beta is now live and ready for installation on the Epic Games Store and Steam.

If you have bought FM21 from a SEGA-approved digital retailer, you’ll be delighted to know that the game is now fully playable* and includes the online modes Create-A-Club and Online Career Mode with cross-compatibility between Epic and Steam. As always, any progress made in Career Mode can be carried forward when your game updates on full release on Tuesday 24th November.

Those yet to pre-purchase can still do so any time prior to full release from a participating digital retailer to get 10% off and access to the Beta. A full list of participating retailers can be found on the SEGA website. 

Football might be known as ‘the beautiful game’ but it is often chaotic and unpredictable with frequent changes of possession, fluid movement across the pitch and endless battles between attacking and defensive units.

FM21 simulates this controlled chaos better than ever before with a raft of AI improvements across all areas of the pitch that lead to much more variety in the passage of play over the course of a match.

In this blog, we’re going to be covering every area of the pitch, including:

• Decision-Making
• Defensive Awareness
• Attacking in the Final Third
• Central Play
• Goalkeeper Intelligence

We’re delighted to confirm the November 24th release date of Football Manager 2021 Mobile which is now available for pre-order on the App Store and for pre-registration on Google Play. 

When COVID-19 first brought the world to a virtual standstill a few months ago (although it seems like years at this point) people started to ask us via social media if we were going to update FM20 to include the virus and its effects.

We decided not to.

Football Manager returns to Xbox for the first time since the 2007/08 season with Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition. 

We’re delighted to reveal that Football Manager 2021 (PC/Mac) will launch on Steam and the Epic Games Store on November 24th. Fans who pre-order FM21 from a participating digital retailer* will receive a 10% discount and access to the pre-release Early Access version of the game, which should be available approximately two weeks before full release. As in previous years, those who buy the game through Steam (and now Epic Games) will also receive Football Manager 2021 Touch (PC/Mac) for free.

We’re delighted to announce that Football Manager 2020 is available right now on the Epic Games Store.

To celebrate this news, we’ve partnered with Epic to make Football Manager 2020 available to download and keep for FREE even if you already own the game on another platform.
