What kind of game is Superior League 2036?

A football management simulator, or soccer manager game. You manage one club: you pick the team, set the tactics, work the transfer market and keep the board happy, and the match engine plays out the results.

Is it a football simulator where I control the players?

No. It is a management sim, in the tradition of football manager games, rather than an action game where you control players on the pitch. You make the decisions; the simulation plays the matches.

Is Superior League 2036 free?

Yes. Superior League 2036 is free to play.

Can I play it in my browser?

Yes. The web version runs in any modern browser, on desktop or phone, with nothing to install. An Android app is in a closed test on Google Play.

Are real clubs or players in the game?

No. Every club, league and person is invented. There are 28 clubs in the Superior League world, plus five domestic leagues of invented clubs.

PEFA™ (Private Equity Football Accelerate™) is the game’s fictional villain: a private equity fund that dissolved football and rebuilt it as a subscription product. This website is PEFA’s corporate site, written in character as satire.

What you do as manager

Run a club in a 20-club super league, where 15 founders can never be relegated and five places are redrawn every summer.
Pick the eleven and set the tactics, then watch the match engine decide whether you were right.
Work the transfer market in an economy where every fee, budget and valuation has been marked up for broadcast.
Survive the board and build your manager reputation over a 38-game league season and a knockout cup, the Clawed AI Cup.
Adapt to league decrees that rewrite the rules each season: away wins worth four points, derby wins worth six, algorithmic offside, sponsored substitutions and 28 more.
Every club is invented. 28 clubs in the league’s world, each with a share price, an owner and a history, plus five domestic leagues carrying on without them.

Football or soccer?

Both. Superior League 2036 is a football simulator in the management sense: you make the calls a manager makes, not the passes a player makes. If you came looking for a free soccer manager game, a football management sim or a browser football game with a sense of humour, this is that game. If you came looking for a governing body, you have found a parody of one.
