A football match in progress in Football Manager 2024.

Football Manager 2024launches onNovember 6th, but it’s available now for those who pre-order. As always, the “Advanced Access” offers the full game, albeit with a higher chance of encountering bugs.

If you’ve bought the game on Steam, you should be able to restart the client and find FM2024 available to download,according to Sports Interactive’s instructions. The same is true if you’ve purchased via the Epic Games Store. If you’ve bought it from another approved digital store, you should have been emailed a Steam code that will grant you admission.

In the meantime, FM2024 does have a handful of new features that sound interesting to me, including the addition of Japanese football leagues and the ability to carry over saved games fromFootball Manager 2023. Save games will now be portable between all future additions too, SI say. My best ever Football Manager (or Championship Manager) saves lasted for more than twenty seasons, but that’s hard to do in the modern era when seasons take so long to play (and I have a life). Carrying saves between games maybe makes those journeyman careers possible again.
