Football fans rejoice, Football Manager 2022 may not have officially arrived, but the beta finally has!
The FM 22 beta is a way to test the game out ahead of launch, and see the big upgrades for yourself.
Here's everything you need to know about the FM 22 beta, including how you can get started now.
FM 22 Beta Now LIVE
The FM 22 Beta never had an official release date as SI made it very obvious this would depend on when they were happy with the game.
To the surprise of many, the FM 22 beta has just gone live out of nowhere at 3pm EST on Thursday, October 21.
How to Sign Up and Play
To join the FM 22 Beta is simple - you just have to preorder the game from a SEGA-approved retailer.
That means you can download the FM 22 beta now if you've preordered from Steam or the Epic Games Store. Once you've made the purchase, simply restart your client and it will show up.
If you preorder from another approved retailer that isn't Steam or the Epic Games Store, you'll need to register your game with Steam before being able to play the FM 22 beta. You can do this by opening Steam, clicking the Games menu, clicking Activate a Product on Steam, and then following Steam's instructions from there.
FM 22 Preorder Info
FM 22 is on sale now with 10% off, making the price of the game just $49.99. It's the perfect time to get your preorder in to take full advantage of the beta!
