Gridiron GM

About Gridiron GM

Gridiron GM is a free browser-based football general manager simulator. You take over one of 32 teams and run the whole franchise: set the gameplan, watch games unfold drive by drive on a live ticker, and make the calls that swing a season — go for it on 4th down, try the 2-point conversion, ice the opposing kicker with the game on the line.

The offseason is the deep end: scout a fog-of-war draft class full of sleepers and busts, work the trade deadline against rival GMs with real personalities, survive holdouts, hand out extensions, hire coaches whose schemes reshape your identity, and keep an impatient owner happy. Every season ends with awards night, All-Pro teams, a record book, and a Hall of Fame that remembers.

Weather changes games, injuries test your depth chart, and a living news feed turns every league into its own story. Saves live in your browser — pick your team and start building.
