Epic Games are giving away Football Manager 2024 completely free for one week from September 5th to September 12th. It's not just free to play for that one week, it's free to keep forever and play forever, you just have to make an Epic Games account and use the Epic Games Launcher to download it to your account during that 1 week period.

 

Here's the full guide on how to get FM24 for free.

 

Step 1: Install the Epic Games Launcher

Download the Epic Games Launcher:

  • Go to the official Epic Games website: Epic Games Download Page.
  • Click on the text saying “Install on Windows” or “Install on MacOS”

 

Install the Launcher:

  • Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the Epic Games Launcher.
  • Once installed, open the Epic Games Launcher application.

 

Step 2: Create or Log In to Your Epic Games Account

Create an Account:

  • If you don't already have an Epic Games account, click on the "Sign Up" button and follow the instructions to create a new account.

 

Log In:

  • If you already have an account, click on the "Sign In" button and enter your login credentials.

 

Step 3: Search for "Football Manager 2024"

Open the Store Tab:

  • Once logged in, navigate to the "Store" tab located on the left-hand side of the launcher.

 

Search for the Game:

  • Use the search bar at the top of the Store tab to search for "Football Manager 2024".
  • Click on the game when it appears in the search results.

 

Step 4: Purchase or Add the Game to Your Library

Select the Game:

  • On the "Football Manager 2024" game page, click on the "Get" button (it may say “Buy Now” or equivalent, but I think it will say “Get”)

 

 

Step 5: Download and Install the Game

Go to Your Library:

  • Navigate to the "Library" tab in the Epic Games Launcher.

 

Locate "Football Manager 2024":

  • Find "Football Manager 2024" in your library list.

 

Start the Download:

  • Click the "Install" button next to the game. A window will pop up asking you to select the installation location.

 

Choose the Installation Location:

  • Select the desired location on your hard drive where you want to install the game, then click "Install" (the default is probably fine).

 

Wait for the Download and Installation to Complete:

  • The game will start downloading. You can monitor the download progress in the "Downloads" section of the Epic Games Launcher.

 

Step 6: Launch the Game

Open the Game:

  • Once the download and installation are complete, click on "Football Manager 2024" in your library and click “Launch”.

 

Step 7: Get the Real Name Fix and other FM24 Essentials

FM24 Real Name Licensing Fix:

  • FM24 doesn't have licenses for alot of key leagues and teams, so before starting your first save you're going to want to download our FM24 Real Name Fix

One question,if one have played the game on XBox Gamepass and added real names fix and so will those function via Epic or do one have to either move their location or re-download and re-apply them and how with saves. Just a question re between for example Steam,Xbox Gamepass PC and Epic.

I'm pretty sure you'll have to reinstall it, check the installation instructions for the real name fix and it has specific game pass locations.

Hey thanks for the heads up!

For me, it's showing “buy now” and at the checkout it's showing $74.99. Is there any code I can put in to skip payment?

 

Thanks

I suspect its unlocked at a certain time when all of world are in the correct date,that st least experienced at Steam and wouldnt be surprised if Epic do a similar thing. Advice could be to find the free games thing at Epic Games Store,there Football Manager 2024 stands ss Coming soon plus 5-12 of September as the dates.  So  best to wait dome hours at least . And usually with free gsmes at Epic there are no code to enter,instead it shows the discount both on game page and before confitming order

I'm about to finish the Demo version on Steam. Is there any way I can continue my steam save with epic? I think i can also just carry over my Graphics catalogue and that's it?

Not sure if there is but one test one could do are to save the demo save locally on computet,then i think it might be possible either by moving the save or navigate via Losd game to get the save continued från thr demo on Steam to Epic but dont hang ne on it,i have the same thinking re my Gamepass save being able to continue on Epic.

Up and running in FM24  via the free copy from Epic,only thing i had to do was to delete a few folders and paste in the ones from the game pass installation,everything else work without any extra work. Just decline setting up new manager and then at load game and then one will get the saves to choose to load.

 

Quite nice and easy Not i think it might secure me from getting sacked at Degerfors IF..2027 i got them to 4th place in Allavenskan.10 natches into 2028 season we are nr.14 instead . Feeling like this calls for a series called Save my season heh.

 

Ah well,hope you didnt feel this was too lengthy comment into things
