Achievement hunter: Here’s what awaits you in Football Manager 2024

The Football Manager 2024 Early Access window – it’s not Beta this year – so if you’re in achievement hunter mode, here’s what you can look forward to trying to unlock over the course of this year’s game cycle.

Despite a few of the achievements not unlocking for me in the network setting (The Football Manager Football Show is a year-long network save, essentially), I think I’ve done well enough for Football Manager 2023 in unlocking 59/100 without putting much effort into chasing the list.

Given there have been plenty of changes made to transfers, the match engine, set pieces, match scheduling AI managers and more for the 2024 iteration of the game, the achievements list has changed to fall in line with some of the new features (I’m watching you, set pieces) while saying goodbye to some versus, draft and online mode achievements. That said, here’s all you can unlock once you start in FM24 and note that anything you achieve during Early Access (the beta) rolls into the full release on 6 November.
