Aspiring armchair managers are really going to enjoy this latest piece of news coming from Sports Interactive and their brand new partners over at the Premier League. A new four-year licensing partnership will see all 20 Premier League clubs in Football Manager be fully licensed with official logos, kits, and player photos starting in the 24/25 season and beyond.
Whether fans attempt to chase the Premier League title, challenge for European football, or maximise the opportunity of promotion to the world’s most-watched league, Football Manager players will be immersed in English top-flight action like never before.
“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,” said Miles Jacobson, Sports Interactive studio director.
“We are very grateful to the Premier League and their other partners in our space for allowing us to be an officially licensed product of the world’s most commercially successful football league.”
It has become a ritual for players hoping to brave the challenges of the Premier League to download custom packs in order to have the right logos, kits, and more during their managerial run. Having this new partnership in place means you can save that time spent fiddling with files and more on the training ground with your hopeful team.
Will Brass, the Premier League’s chief commercial officer, added: “Football Manager has been a big part of the sporting landscape for decades, and is loved and enjoyed by millions of fans around the world. We are thrilled that the Premier League will now feature even more prominently in the game, helping to deliver a deeper, more authentic experience for anybody who takes on the challenge of managing a Premier League club.”
More details about the Premier League’s in-game integration with Football Manager, as well as partnership activities between the studio and the league, will be revealed later in the year.
