With the coronavirus pandemic stopping all sporting events for the foreseeable future, that means no football on show for fans to enjoy.
But luckily, the next best thing, football management simulation game Football Manager 2020, is now free to play for seven days!
Football Manager 2020 is free on Steam for the next week, starting at 3:00pm (GMT) on Wednesday March 18th and ending at 3:00pm (GMT) on Wednesday March 25th.
This free access only applies to the PC/Mac game (on Steam) and it will only be playable free-of-charge until the week has expired. After that, if you wish to continue playing, you can carry on the journey by purchasing the full game from Steam to ensure FM20 stays in your library.
If you already have a Steam account, getting access to the game is straightforward – all you have to do is head to the Football Manager 2020 page and hit the download button. The game will move to your library and will be fully playable until the free week ends.
If you don't already have a Steam account, go to www.steampowered.com, click on ‘Install Steam’ and follow the instructions. Once Steam is installed and you’ve set up an account, the process is the same as above.
Football Manager 2020, by Sports Interactive, is a hugely popular football simulation game which allows you to take control of your favourite club, or country, and work your way towards success. It’s very detailed and highly immersive, making it one of the most played PC games right now.
The game is not the only one to be heavily discounted in the past few days. FIFA 20 is currently just £20 using an online deal. The game is priced at £34.99 but you can get £15 in cash back when you use an online trick.
Deals website Topcashback is giving anybody who buys FIFA 20 £15 back, meaning if you buy a used version you can get the game for just £20 after cashback.
The deal is available to anybody who is a new member of Topcashback and signs up here.
