Cups and competitions
Leagues, cups and silverware
Manager11 runs a full football calendar on a fast clock. Each season has 22 league rounds, so every club plays every other club in its league twice, home and away. The remaining gamedays are for cup and trophy rounds, and every honour you win goes into your club's history.
In the game today
- 164 leagues across 14 tiers
- Promotion and relegation
- Three knockout cups
- World Challenge Cup for 119 nations
- League round-ups every gameday
- Club honours and history
The league pyramid
The top tiers are one global pyramid that every club is climbing towards. Below them the world splits into 16 regional pyramids, from England, Spain, Italy and Brazil to Argentina, Australia, Asia and Africa. Win your league to go up a tier and finish at the bottom to go down.
Three knockout cups
Alongside the league, clubs play in three cup competitions: the Eli Bendersky Cup, the Founders Cup and the Weekend League Cup. A cup run gives a smaller club a shot at a bigger one, and the knockout rounds fit between league gamedays.
National teams
119 national teams play in the World Challenge Cup. Players from your club can be called up, and as a manager you can apply for a national team job when your reputation is high enough.
History you can look up
Every league has a public table and a round-up rewritten after each gameday, and every club page shows its honours. Browse them on the leagues and clubs pages without an account.
Questions and answers
- How long is a season?
- 61 gamedays, one every hour, so about 61 hours of real time.
- Is there promotion and relegation?
- Yes, between every tier of the pyramid, so a club can climb from a local league to the top division over several seasons.
- Are the competitions licensed?
- No. Manager11 is independent, and its leagues, cups, clubs and players are its own.
