Quick summary

Football Manager 2024 (FM24) is a paid sports management title from SEGA and Sports Interactive, released as part of the long-running franchise’s 20th-anniversary cycle. It delivers the franchise’s deep club management simulation — scouting youth, running training programs, managing tactics and transfers — while retaining official UEFA club licenses that allow you to recruit real-world stars.

What’s new in this edition

  • Direct save migration from FM23 so you can continue an existing career with squads and upgrades already in place.
  • Updated rosters reflecting the 2023/24 season, with squad tweaks and refreshed player lists across many clubs.
  • Refined visuals, audio updates and several gameplay mechanic improvements intended to modernize the experience.

Core gameplay elements

  • Scouting, recruitment and player development remain central: build a scouting network, train squads, and shape future stars.
  • Tactical depth and AI-managed rival managers provide the strategic challenge expected from the series.
  • Licensed teams let you pursue well-known professionals such as Kevin De Bruyne, Toni Kroos, or Erling Haaland.
  • Desktop is the primary platform for this premium release from SEGA and Sports Interactive.
  • Mobile followers can explore companion editions like Football Manager 2023 Mobile and Football Manager 2022 Mobile.

Shortcomings and criticisms

  • A notable omission is the UEFA Women’s Champions League, which is still absent despite prior licensing mentions; the developers state it is planned for inclusion in FM25.
  • The franchise’s steep learning curve remains intact, which can be daunting for newcomers despite various quality-of-life tweaks.

Final assessment

Celebrating two decades of the series, FM24 builds on familiar strengths while adding useful continuity for returning managers via save transfers and roster updates. It’s not without flaws, but for fans who enjoy deep football management sims, it serves as a solid and polished installment.
