The FM 24 release date hasn\u2019t been confirmed yet, but lots of other information has.<\/p>\n<p>In a detailed blog post entitled <a href=\"\/\/www.footballmanager.com\/news\/future-football-manager&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Future of Football Manager<\/a>, the developers from Sports Interactive have confirmed that FM 24 will be \u201cthe last of its kind\u201d and \u201cthe closing of this chapter of our history.\u201d Don\u2019t worry, though, it won\u2019t be the last <em>ever<\/em> Football Manager game.<\/p>\n<p>The developers have confirmed that FM 24, despite having some major upgrades, will be the last Football Manager game to use the franchise\u2019s current engine. Next year\u2019s FM 25 will totally relaunch the series in the Unity engine, making FM 24 something of a final chapter for Football Manager as we know it. Read on to learn more about it!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When is the FM 24 release date?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The FM 24 release date has not yet been confirmed, but rumours around the web are predicting that Football Manager 2024 could launch in\u00a0<strong>early November 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This would make a certain amount of sense. Returning fans will know that last year\u2019s FM 23 launched on 7th November, so a similar arrival time would not be a surprise this year! We\u2019ll let you know when a date is formally confirmed, though.<\/p> <h2><strong>Can I pre-order FM 24? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Not yet! It\u2019s a bit too soon to pre-order FM 24, but we\u2019ll be sure to update this page when the Football Manager 2024 pre-order pages go live around web.<\/p>\n<p>Regular players will recall that FM games tend to have a period of early access beta fun for players who pre-order, and we\u2019d expect FM 24 to follow that trend. More as we hear it!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Which consoles and platforms can play FM 24?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sports Interactive and Sega have confirmed that FM 24 will be available on PC via Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass, as well as coming to PS5, Xbox (we expect Xbox One and Series X\/S), Apple Arcade, Nintendo Switch and iOS &amp; Android for mobile.<\/p>\n<p>As ever, we would expect there to be different versions of Football Manager on a number of those platforms, including the popular Touch version on mobile and Switch, and the Console Edition for PlayStation and Xbox users.<\/p>\n<ul><li><strong><a href=\"\/\/apple.sjv.io\/c\/1236178\/435298\/7615?subId1=radiotimes-0&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fapple-arcade%2F&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Play Football Manager 23 Touch on Apple Arcade with a one-month free trial<\/a> <\/strong>(\u00a34.99 per month thereafter)<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2><strong>FM 24 gameplay: new features revealed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sports Interactive has promised that FM 24 will be \u201cthe most complete version in the series\u2019 history\u201d and a celebration of its 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>In the aforementioned official <a href=\"\/\/www.footballmanager.com\/news\/future-football-manager&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">blog post<\/a>, the developers promised that FM 24 will have a major new feature that fans have been asking after for years \u2013 \u201cthe ability to transfer saved games from one version of FM to the next\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right, folks! As the developers said: \u201cYou\u2019ll be able to bring your FM23 career into FM24 across all platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How will this work? According to the creators: \u201cWhen you first launch Football Manager 2024, you\u2019ll be given the option to continue your FM23 story, picking up exactly where you left off \u2013 powered with the new features and revamps that FM24 will introduce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve also said: \u201cYou can expect a host of improvements, big and small, both in new features and revamps to existing areas of the game.\u201d As and when the specifics of those are confirmed, we\u2019ll let you know!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Will FM 24 have women\u2019s football?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div

However, there is good news on this front! Sports Interactive has confirmed that they are working hard on getting women\u2019s football right in time for FM 25\u2019s big revamp next year.<\/p>\n<p>Studio Head Miles Jacobson said in a <a href=\"\/\/www.footballmanager.com\/news\/future-football-manager&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">blog post:<\/a>\u00a0\u201cThe FM25 cycle will also see the long-awaited introduction of women\u2019s football to the Football Manager series. Before I go into the details, I want to acknowledge that since we first announced our commitment to introduce the women\u2019s game back in July 2021, we haven\u2019t provided any further public updates on the project which has led to speculation and some frustration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe facts are that we\u2019ve made really good progress in many areas, including research, the match engine and translation. But there are other areas that haven\u2019t made enough advancements, a lot of which are legal issues. The women\u2019s game deserves to be the best it possibly can be when it is released \u2013 and the new graphics engine will help deliver that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is there an FM 24 trailer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>No, there\u2019s no trailer yet for FM 24.
