Get ready.
Season 3 starts on 7 January.
A thousand things to do.
Like a real manager.
Squad
Players with attributes, specialities, form, contracts and age. Your squad is not cards, it is people.
Tactics
Formations, mentality, captain and set-piece takers. Saved line-ups for each opponent.
Live matches
Every match is lived minute by minute: commentary, cards, injuries and substitutions.
Transfer market
Live auctions against other managers. Bid, sell and build your squad.
League and cups
Live table, top scorers, clean sheets and the Cup, where a minnow can knock out a giant.
Training
Choose what the team trains each week. Youngsters improve a lot, veterans hardly at all.
Youth academy
Scouts, a youth tournament and kids who can become the club's crown jewel.
Finances
Sponsors, wages, gate receipts, loans and building works. Money is managed or it runs out.
Stadium
Stands, big screen, museum, a statue of your idol. The club grows with you.
And there are 282 features on a public roadmap. No surprises.
See the roadmap→Your week
has a rhythm.
ELDT is not played for 10 hours straight. You live a whole week: log in whenever you like, do your bit and wait for the match.

What arrives with
Season 3.
On 7 January 2027 ELDT kicks off Season 3 and opens in seven European countries at once. Three big things arrive:
A league pyramid in your country
The game in your language
European cups
Everyone starts on the same day: nobody gets a head start.
New match engine.
In testing for Season 3.
We are testing it for Season 3: all 22 players really move and make decisions on the pitch, and you can watch the match in 3D or from above, like a tactics board.
- 3D pitch and top-down view
- Offside with replay
- Cards and injuries
- More realistic play every week
We improve it every day. The videos come from a real match simulated by the new engine.
Engine 6.1.0 · videos updated on 27/10/2026

Each country with the game in its own language.
Five levels.
One road to the top.
Every country has its own pyramid: few leagues at the top, many at the bottom, all with 16 clubs. The champions of each league go up and the runners-up play a play-off against the sides finishing 9th to 12th in the league above. New managers start at the very bottom.

The online football manager with your country's pyramid
ELDT is a free online football manager: you create your club, build the team and really run it, with an auction-based transfer market, training, finances, a youth academy with its own tournament and matches with live commentary on Thursdays and Saturdays. You play in the browser, and there is an Android app too.
And one rule that is not up for negotiation: no pay-to-win. Real money does not buy players or results: you climb by managing, not by paying.

What you
want to know.
What is ELDT?

A free online football manager. You run a club from the bottom of your country's pyramid to the top division: you sign players, train them, set the tactics and play matches with live commentary against other real managers.
When does it open in England?
+
On 7 January 2027, when Season 3 starts. Every European country opens on the same day, so all managers start together.
Is it in my language?

What is the pyramid like?

Five levels, every league with 16 clubs: 1 league at the top, then 4, 16, 64 and up to 256 at the bottom. The champions go up and the runners-up play a play-off.
Is it free? Is there pay-to-win?
+
Yes, it is free and there is no pay-to-win: you cannot buy an advantage with real money.
Do I need to install anything?
