No more 'English Premier Division'! Football Manager lands official Premier League licence ahead of FM25

Football Manager has become a phenomenon in recent years, although they have had to cope without the Premier League licence. While they have had certain clubs licenced in previous editions - in FM24, Brighton and Manchester City were the only Premier League clubs with accurate kits, logos and player pictures - they have been forced to name the competition, the 'English Premier Division'.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">E̵n̵g̵l̵i̵s̵h̵ ̵P̵r̵e̵m̵i̵e̵r̵ ̵D̵i̵v̵i̵s̵i̵o̵n̵— Football Manager (@FootballManager) <a href="https://twitter.com/FootballManager/status/1800133333588103195?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 10, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Now, though, they have confirmed that is no longer the case, and all 20 clubs will have accurate representation in FM25 and in future releases. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/football-manager-2024-release-date-price-new-features-wonderkids-where-to-buy/blt39e103c80b356b62" target="_blank">SI already have the licences for the EFL and non-league</a>, so adding the Premier League will hugely increase the realism of playing a save in England.<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="362" src="https://youtube.com/embed/rircYvbkhk0" title="YouTube video player" width="644"></iframe>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Miles Jacobson, SI's studio director, said: “Since Football Manager’s inception, we have always wanted to work with the Premier League, and we’re delighted to announce that at last we are.“The partnership isn’t just about the huge in-game benefits it’ll give our fans, but also the opportunities it provides us to help with the incredible things that the Premier League and their clubs do off the pitch. That includes community and charitable work, two things we’re enormously passionate about, as well as the ability to work with some of their existing partners.“We are very grateful to the Premier League and their other partners in our space for enabling us to be an officially licensed product of the world’s most commercially successful football league."

WHAT SPORTS INTERACTIVE SAID

Football Manager 2025 will be out later this year, although the official release date has yet to be announced. FM24 was released in November of 2023, by comparison.
