BENCHSIDE

A free alternative to the big management simulations

The pleasure of running a club — signing, picking a line-up, balancing a budget — with no install, no subscription and no database to load.

  • A full squad, transfers, finances, a stadium to expand and a cup: the levers that matter, not the hundred nobody touches.
  • The match is watched live, action by action, and prepared properly: line-up, instructions, bonuses.
  • Football Manager remains the reference of the genre; this is what you can have of it for free in a tab, phone included.
  • No premium version of the football itself: paid options are cosmetic or convenience.
With friends, or alone against the computer

Create your own league and invite anyone with a link — or play on your own against the computer, with nobody to wait for.

Public leagues

Open to everyone, no code needed: you play against strangers. You choose how they kick off.

Quick league

To play right away: the season kicks off as soon as 6 managers have taken a club, and never waits more than three days.

Monday league

An appointment: the season kicks off at the announced time, however many have joined. A date to note down — and to send to friends.
