Football Manager 2024 is going to be free, thanks to Epic Games Store. This franchise has a history of distributing the game for free for years: FM22 for everyone, FM23 from Twitch Prime, and now from the Epic launcher.
However, it does have a condition; you have one week to claim it from Epic Games Store starting on September 5, 2024. Outside of the one-week window, the game goes for $59.99 on Epic Games Store.
Check out these time zones so you can snag it early:
- GMT: 4:00 PM
- ET (Eastern Time): 12:00 PM
- CET (Central European Time): 6:00 PM
- PT (Pacific Time): 9:00 AM
- AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time): 2:00 AM (next day)
- JST (Japan Standard Time): 1:00 AM (next day)
- CST (China Standard Time): 12:00 AM (next day)
- IST (Indian Standard Time): 9:30 PM
- ART (Argentina Time): 1:00 PM
- MSK (Moscow Time): 7:00 PM

- SGT (Singapore Time): 12:00 AM (next day)
- BRT (Brasília Time): 1:00 PM
- NZDT (New Zealand Daylight Time): 4:00 AM (next day)
You’ll be able to pick up the game within the Epic Games Store app after September 5 to claim Football Manager 2024 for free. New users will need to create an Epic account before claiming it. The deal won’t be on other stores, either, so Steam devotees are out of luck.
Once you claim it, you own it forever. Just keep in mind this only applies to the PC version.
