Youth, training and patience

Looking for games like ManagerZone?

ManagerZone players tend to love the same things: bringing youngsters through, training with a plan and seeing a squad mature over seasons. ELDT is built around those same pleasures, with a national pyramid, live commentary and a market by auction.

What you will feel at home with

Training by skill with intensities and a coaching staff that matters. Scouts, an academy and a youth tournament on Thursday and Saturday mornings at 07:00. A transfer market between real managers, with three-day auctions and loans. Club finances that reward good management and punish wages you cannot afford.

What is different

A national pyramid. 341 leagues and 5,456 clubs over five levels, First Division, Second Division, Third Division, Fourth Division, Fifth Division, with promotion, relegation and a play-off, and European cups on Wednesdays against the best of other countries.

Live commentary. Matches on Thursdays and Saturdays from 19:00 UK time are commentated minute by minute in nine languages, with public pages for every result.

No pay-to-win. Real money never buys an advantage. Supporter covers identity and conveniences only.

A fresh world. England opens on 7 January 2027 and everyone starts at the bottom the same day.

Which one is for you?

If you are settled in ManagerZone and happy, stay. If you fancy starting a long-term project in a new world, with the same love of youth and training, this is ELDT.

What a week in ELDT looks like

League matches on Thursday and Saturday from 19:00 UK time, kicking off in waves every 15 minutes. The ELDT Cup on Tuesday, a knockout by level so you face clubs of your own size. European cups on Wednesday for the best clubs of each country. Friendlies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and private leagues on Sunday. The youth tournament plays on Thursday and Saturday mornings at 07:00. A season is 30 matchdays in a league of 16 clubs, with promotion for the champion, a play-off for the runner-up and relegation for the bottom four. The full rundown is here.

How to start

Sign up in two minutes, with no card. You get a club at the bottom of the pyramid with a full squad, an academy, a ground and a budget.

England opens on 7 January 2027; until then you can leave your email on the English home page and we will tell you when the doors open.
