Football Manager 2020 is completely free to play on Steam for a week, Sports Interactive has announced.

It's free to play from today, 18th March until 3pm UK time on 25th March on PC and Mac. After this, you can continue by buying the game at any time as your career progress will be saved in either your Documents folder or the Steam Cloud.

It's a fantastic offer that comes amid the coronavirus outbreak and a period of self-isolation for many.
