The Beta is set to go "live tonight" so keep eyes peeled for further announcements from 5pm GMT onwards.

Full FM21 Release Date

Football Manager 2021 will go live on Tuesday, 24 November.

The official website states: "Pre-purchase now for 10% off and Early Access which should be available around two weeks prior to full release."

Two weeks before 24 November is Tuesday 10, November - so if the Beta isn't available yet - expect to be so very soon!

FM21 Platforms

The Beta looks to be available on PC only - either via Steam or the Epic Games Store.
