Free Online Football Management Sim

This is not fantasy football.
This is what fantasy football SHOULD BE.

A persistent online football universe where you manage your own team, build your roster, and compete against other team owners.

Built for football sim fans and franchise-mode players who want to run a whole team, not set a weekly fantasy lineup.

Join a League Free

You love football. The strategy. The stats. The competition. Everything that happens before the ball is ever snapped.

But when Sunday ends, where do you go to keep building your football world?

Fantasy football gives you players. MyFootballNow gives you a team.

Join a league. Manage your team. Build your roster. Create your legacy.

Watch your decisions play out

Your team takes the field. Your roster decisions matter.

With the level of control you have over your team, that desire to be immersed in football becomes a reality with MyFootballNow. And since you're playing against users from all over the world, you're joining a great community of like-minded people who love football almost as much as you do.

You act as the general manager: you pick the players, set the depth chart and game plan, and the game simulates the games on a schedule against other owners in your league.

If you're looking for quick fantasy picks or joystick play, this isn't that: you manage a whole team.

MyFootballNow is a football management simulation game.

This is not an arcade game where your mastery of the joystick gives you bragging rights over your friends. You'll take the role as a meddling owner who is the supreme authority on decisions being made both on and off the field. You'll prepare your team by queueing up roster moves and game plans that will be executed during the next scheduled simulation. When you come back after the sim has been run, see whether the plans you created are leading you to victory - or if you need to clean house and build your team up from scratch.

Every league has a forum where owners trade offers, argue about draft picks and talk strategy with other sim fans. Visit the community forums.

Listen to what some actual users have said about MyFootballNow!

“I have spent the better part of the past decade scouring the internet for pro football management simulators, only to always be left disappointed. This is the first that's really demonstrated the promise of everything I want.”

“If you're like me and always ended up eventually setting Madden onto franchise mode then do yourself a favor and play this.”

“Overall the game is very intuitive and extremely friendly to both casual enthusiasts as well as those looking for a more in-depth experience.”

“I've been coaching for over 25 years and this game is by far the best online PC football experience I've ever had.”

“If you're looking for a competitive, multiplayer football management sim, as of now, this is pretty much it.”

“This is by far the best football sim I have played. Oh, and it's free!”

Common questions

Will my league be active?

Leagues run on a schedule, and the homepage shows how many public leagues have open team slots right now. Open a league from the list to see its teams and recent games before you join.

Is MyFootballNow really free?

Yes. The full game is free to play with no credit card. Paid plans add more leagues and optional features, not a competitive advantage.

Is this fantasy football?

No. You do not pick a weekly lineup from real NFL players. You run a whole team: draft, sign free agents, trade, set your depth chart and game plan, and compete against other team owners.

Can I cancel a paid plan?

Yes, you can cancel a paid plan at any time. Fees already paid are not refundable except as described in the terms.
