In the run-up to the release of FM21, FM Base will be releasing various articles linked to FM21 based on a variety of topics. In this article, we'll look at some of the most frequently asked questions relating to the FM21 BETA.

What is the FM21 BETA?
The FM21 BETA will be a near completed version of the upcoming Football Manager 2021. The BETA is rewarded to people who purchase the game from a recognised retailer.

When will the FM21 BETA be released?
A very common question. FM21 will be release approximately two-weeks before the official release on 24th November 2020. Please be sure to check the official FM social media account regarding the release of FM21 BETA.

Is there a difference between BETA and full release?
Yes, most of the bugs spotted during FM21 are fixed ready for full release. If you notice a bug during the BETA please click on the "report bug" option which will be watermarked in the game. The pre-game editor will NOT be available to use during the FM21 BETA.

Can I use custom graphics and custom databases on FM21 BETA?
