Sports Interactive cancelled Football Manager 25 to work on the next entry in the series, but Sega has something else to fill the potential gap. Launching this year worldwide, Sega Football Club Champions 2025 is a free-to-play title for PS4, PS5, PC via Steam, iOS and Android. Check out the first trailer below.
Described as a “multiplatform football management simulator” powered by Football Manager, Sega Football Club Champions 2025 has two core modes. Career Mode involves building and managing your team. Dream Team is about battling other players online. You can tussle in the Arena and Event Matches or set up Room Matches.
Players can expect 10,000 professional footballers to bring to their teams. Japan’s J1-J3 leagues, FIFPRO, K League, and Manchester City F.C. contribute 1,500 players. While others have yet to be revealed, Sega says it’s partnered with “various leagues” worldwide.
Interested participants can sign up for the closed beta here. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months, including additional gameplay and monetization.
