Sorry if this got your hopes up, it has not been released yet!

I reckon it will be out in the coming week beginning 09/11/20 though. Whether or not it will be Monday is a whole other pile of speculation.

Instead of speculating on that though, who will be you team to manage come BETA dropping?

Personally, whilst initially having a sneaky peak at my Blackpool squad, I will probably go for Everton. They seem to have become my BETA team since they started doing this BETA thing at SI, so I should probably keep the tradition going!

For me it will be Olympique Lyonnais or Leicester City this year.

I'll be managing Burnley when the full game comes out so for the beta I'll manage Melbourne Victory.

Roll on the 24th!

No idea.

I've been thinking Rangers for the BETA and then when the full release is out, probably Larne but guarantee this will change whenever I get bored/sacked.

Probably Newcastle for me, just to learn a little bit about it without having to worry too much about which players to pick as I've pretty much got an idea of what I want to do. Once we're in the full game I quite fancy a shot at Le Havre or Shakhtar - a save I haven't done since about FM15 properly.

Hope it's tonight!

For the beta save, perhaps an exciting fight for survival with Fulham or Brighton in the Premier League or Sheffield Wednesday or Coventry in the Championship.

There are many interesting clubs playing in the second tier of Spain as well...

And Nacional da Madeira in Portuguese Liga NOS is a club I'd like to make a return to, having managed them in FM 2019...

There really is an abundance of intriguing options out there!

I'm keen for some form of joint venture.

BETA is supposed to be released tomorrow (or so Twitter rumours say)

Hope you're right, that would be the normal '2 weeks before' wouldn't it? Usually, they've been a bit early but probably trying to nail this one given the added attention since lockdown

I'm down for a joint challenge or something, though can't guarantee playtime atm

If I get the game from this site will I be able to access the Beta as soon as it is released?

i am thinking maybe Bastia for my first save. I have always had a bit of an interest in them as I was at St James Park in the 70s to see them play Newcastle in a european tie. They had Johnny Rep in their side who was a world class player........one of my childhood memories ;-)

I'm going to Slovakia with SKF Sered, where is the best place to keep my eyes for the beta being released? Are we supposed to get an email with a code? I bought it through this site and its my first time trying to access the beta?

Yes. If you preorder the game then you'll get the BETA which should hopefully be dropping today at some point.

Is it a code through the email or do we just have steam auto download?

Whenever the game is preordered, you should get a code in the email, which can activate the game once it's been released.

I activated the code through my account on steam so I have the game listed and it just says scheduled for release on November 24th, should I expect another code through my email today?

No, when the BETA is released an "INSTALL" button will appear when you click on Football Manager 21 in your Steam Library.

In some cases you might need to restart Steam to see this (if you already have it open when the BETA drops).

I always play the beta as Liverpool, cos I know them really well and it's an easy way to get used to a new game.
Once the full game is out, I'm off to Germany to take over the Wurzburger Kickers.
