Upstart FC

Found an academy.
Build a club.

Upstart FC is a single-player football management game. Start with a U17 academy and a few volunteers, develop players, climb a connected pyramid of fictional leagues and, over many seasons, turn your club into a top-flight side.

The demo is free and runs in your browser: one career in the United States. The full game adds eight more countries and more careers.

The club dashboard: next match, league position, finances and what needs your attention

From U17 to the top flight

Every club starts as a small academy. Promotions, licensing and money decide how far you climb.

A living world

AI clubs buy, sell, sack managers and go broke. Nine country packs, leagues abroad and continental cups.

Your academy is the engine

Scout kids, run the age ladder, hire coaches and watch players grow into first-team regulars.

Matches that react

A positional match engine with a 2D view, live commentary, substitutions and touchline shouts.

Play anywhere

Runs in a desktop or phone browser. Saves stay on your device, with export and optional cloud saves.

Fictional, on purpose

Real cities, invented clubs and competitions. No licences, just football management.
