⚠ Steam Deck Support
⚠ Steam Deck is currently not supported. The game requires mouse and keyboard and has not been optimised for handheld play.
Cosmetic Purchases Only
PIX Football Manager includes optional cosmetic purchases as another way to support the game’s continued development. We do not sell players, stat boosts, progression boosts, or any other competitive advantage. There is no pay-to-win.
Internet Connection Required
PIX Football Manager is an online game, so you’ll need an internet connection to play. That doesn’t mean you’ll be stuck waiting for other people to come online. The game is asynchronous, so you can play whenever you want while competing against clubs created by other managers and trying to overcome their tactics. Besides, it’s the best way for us to prevent cheating and keep things fair.
About the Game
PIX Football Manager is a retro football management sim built around one idea: the best way to find a great player is to watch them play. You won’t know every player’s true ability before signing them. Every signing is a gamble. Some will disappoint. Others will become club legends.
Create your club and lead it through season after season. Scout players from over 350 clubs across 25 countries, build your tactics, manage contracts and finances, improve your facilities, and watch your decisions play out in fully simulated matches.

Closed Beta Complete!
Hi everyone, We’re releasing a new build that will close access to this stage of the closed beta. Before anything else, we want to say a huge thank you to our community. Everyone who played matches, shared feedback, reported issues, talked about the game, and spent time with this early version has helped us more than you know. This testing phase gave us a lot to learn from, and your feedback has already been incredibly valuable in helping us understand what is working, what needs improvement, and where we should focus next. The team will now take everything we’ve learned and continue preparing the game for its next testing phase. Thank you again for being part of this journey with us!Read full article on Community Announcements (Daniel Dev)Patch NotesOfficial
