Welcome to Arena

Arena: fast, free, live football management

Arena is where your MFL story starts. You found a club, pick your first stars, and play live matches against the clubs of other managers. Every win earns Arena Points and moves you up the ladder. Play 10 matches in a week and your tier pays out Gems.

It is free to play. All you need is an MFL account.

The short version

  • Found your club in a few minutes: name, crest, colours, three stars and a captain.
  • Play five trial matches. Each one unlocks a reward. After the fifth, the ranked Arena opens.
  • Play ranked matches whenever you want. You get 2 minutes to set up, then the match plays live and you coach from the touchline.
  • Climb the divisions from Amateur to Legend. Play 10 matches in a week and your tier pays Gems, plus $MFL from Elite up.
  • Build your squad with packs and boosts, and develop your players in your first 2 matches each day.

Arena and Pro Manager. Arena is one of MFL's two game modes. Pro Manager is the other: you own a club and its players, and compete in official leagues and cups. Many managers play both. See Arena and Pro Manager.
