This study aims to (1) analyze the types of illocutionary speech acts contained in the Football Manager 2023 video game news column and (2) analyze the speech act strategies used in the Football Manager 2023 video game news column. The theory used to analyze the type of illocutionary speech acts is taken from Searle in Saifudin (2019) while the speech act strategy is taken from Yule (1996). This research uses descriptive qualitative method with the following research steps: determining the topic, making a preliminary study, formulating problems, determining research methods, collecting data, classifying and analyzing data, drawing conclusions and suggestions. The results of this research produced 30 data divided into: (1) 6 data of assertive illocutionary speech act (20%), 3 data of directive illocutionary speech act (10%), 13 data of commissive illocutionary speech act (43%), 8 data of expressive illocutionary speech act (27%), and 0 data of declarative illocutionary speech act (0%), (2) 20 data of direct speech act strategies (67%) and 10 data of indirect speech act strategies (33%). Based on the results of the research, it is found that the Football Manager 2023 video game news column is dominated by assertive and commissive illocutionary speech acts, with more direct speech act strategies.
