If you\u2019re anything like us, you\u2019ve been waiting impatiently for the early access of Football Manager 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the final FM entry of its kind, before the relaunch next year with the new Unity Engine.<\/p>\n

FM 24 also have some cool new features, such as the \u201cReal World\u201d and \u201cYour World\u201d options. Not to mention the fact we\u2019ll be able to carry over our save from FM 23.<\/p>\n

It might bring the end of an era, but it\u2019s still offering new mechanics, and we reckon it\u2019ll be a great game.<\/p>\n

So, when can we jump in? The game officially releases on the 6th November 2023, and early access via the beta was supposed<\/em> to drop around the 23rd October.<\/p>\n

However, there has been a twist in the tale (a good one).<\/p>\n

When is the Football Manager 2024 beta?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The good new is that the FM24 beta came out on 19th October 2023<\/strong> (that\u2019s today!).<\/p>\n

We weren\u2019t expecting it for another few days, but Sega announced today that the beta is available for all who pre-purchased the game.<\/p>

Which consoles and platforms can access the FM24 beta?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The FM24 beta is only available to those looking to play the game on PC, either via Steam or the Epic Games Store.<\/p>\n

Sadly, those on console and mobile will need to wait until the game launches fully to get a taste of the action. Thankfully, neither will have too long to wait.<\/p>\n

To play the FM24 beta, you will need to have pre-order a copy of the game<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Sega website<\/a> says: \u201cAnyone who has pre-purchased FM24 from a SEGA-approved digital retailer* can now log in to Steam or Epic and launch the game directly from their library.\u201d<\/p>\n

Players can expect to take part in regular matches and Fantasy Draft mode. Your save will continue over to the final release, as well.<\/p>\n
