SEGA Football Club Champions Launches on PC and Mobile
22nd January 2026 -- SEGA has today released SEGA Football Club Champions, a free-to-play football management game now available on PC and mobile devices. The game promises to bring an accessible yet engaging management experience to players worldwide.
Powered by Football Manager™ Technology
SEGA Football Club Champions is powered by Football Manager™ and features official player data from FIFPRO™. The game allows managers to compete across multiple leagues including the J League, K League, and more, with the ultimate goal of transforming your club into global superstars.
Getting Started: The Tutorial Experience
The game begins with a tutorial managing Coventry City, which guides new players through the essential mechanics. Key elements covered include:
- Coaching systems
- Player upgrades
- Transfer dealings
- Match management
- Tactical setups
The tutorial provides a solid foundation for understanding the game's core systems before diving into the main career mode.
Game Modes and Progression
Beyond the primary career mode, SEGA Football Club Champions offers additional modes where players can level up and unlock various items and players. Notably, football legends such as Lionel Messi can be unlocked and added to your squad, alongside officially licensed teams including Manchester City.
The multiplayer modes add a competitive element, allowing managers to test their tactical prowess against other players online.
A Familiar Feel with a Modern Twist
Veterans of SEGA's football management titles will recognise the DNA of Let's Make A Soccer Team, the PS2-era management game also produced by SEGA. SEGA Football Club Champions maintains that accessible, visual approach to management simulation.
Interestingly, the game is more visually focused than Football Manager, which creates an unusual situation where SEGA is effectively competing with itself, as both titles are owned by the same company and even share certain elements.

SEGA Football Club Champions is available now as a free-to-play title on PC and mobile devices.
