Games like Football Manager on mobile

63 games · every one verified from its listing · updated Sep 26, 2026

Football Manager owns the fantasy of the dugout — the squad is yours, the tactics are yours, the sacking is yours too. These are the sports management sims in our catalogue that respect the same fantasy, on and beyond the pitch: clubs, seasons, transfers, and careers riding on your calls. Verified monetisation on every card, because pay-to-win ruins a management game faster than any losing streak.

Questions people ask

Is Football Manager itself on phones?

Official mobile editions exist — in recent years through a subscription — and they are good. This list is what to play beyond them, or instead of another subscription.

Does this list cover sports besides football?

Yes — the loop is the point, not the ball. Basketball, MMA and other management sims qualify when they hand you the same job: build the roster, pick the tactics, own the result.
