Football Manager 2023 beta release date & how to get early access to the new game

Football Manager 2023 will hit video game stores this autumn, with fans marking their calendars in anticipation of the launch. The 2022 edition of the game released in November last year and managed to sell more than a million copies in PC/Mac platforms alone in less than a year.

Traditionally, a 'beta' version of the game is released a number of weeks in advance of the worldwide launch. This version allows developers to correct in-game issues based on the feedback from the first set of players.

If you're wondering about the beta edition ahead of the full game release, GOAL has everything you need to know.
