News - FM Genie Scout for FM26 is confirmed
As always I'm delighted to announce that we're working on Genie Scout 26, the new version for Football Manager 2026.

FM Genie Scout has always been the world's favorite scout utility for Football Manager since its very first version.

We pride ourselves on exclusively releasing this legendary tool since 2009. As always we try our best to deliver Genie Scout to the world every year because your support to this project is outstanding.

Our aim is to update Genie Scout "g" edition to be usable for the FM26 Beta. Then fix any bugs reported. And ultimately try to update all relevant data to reflect the changes in FM26 (e.g. new player roles).

FM Genie Scout 26 Release Date

Public edition

While we can't give you a firm date for the release of the public version, we should be able to release it towards late November. It usually arrives approximately 4-5 weeks after the "g" edition.

"g" edition

The "g" edition, which is the one for people who donate, is available since 25 October (beta 1). Current version (beta 4) is compatible with the 26.0.0 version of FM26 on Steam and Epic.
Please note not everything will work perfectly initially, but we'll keep improving until it reaches the level of quality we’re aiming for.

You can now donate for GS26 "g" edition.
Do not report bugs in the comments below!



The "g" edition is ad-free and has certain features compared to the public edition.
More specifically:
  • Potential attributes search (new since 21g)
  • GS Stats (new since 18g)
  • Role Ratings
  • Probability of Development
  • Progress Rate
  • Top Players list
  • Facepack/Kit support

Is there a way to test this "g" edition?
Yes! If you still have FM23 installed, you can try the "g" edition of Genie Scout 23 for free. It's not a trial, it's 100% unlocked forever.


How can I get Genie Scout 26 public edition asap?

The public edition of GS26 will be directly added to fmscout.com the moment it is ready.

But we can notify you via email when this happens, so you won't miss time at all.
So make sure to sign up for our newsletter today.

It's expected for release sometime around late November; no specific time has been set though.

    like most I cannot filter women out.

    My main query is, usually if I use the 2nd from the end icon "filter by club" I can search for my team and it'll bring all the players at the club up easily that way. it doesnt work currently.

    I can’t filter men and women separately in the program. Even if I don’t want to, women are also shown. Is there any solution for this?

    Brilliant work to have had this sorted. Being able to filter out by gender would be great, but I know this is very early days. Thank you all the same

    Must say this is brilliant news. Will all the changes etc to FM I feared genie scout might be done. I always donate to the G edition and will be looking forward to this. I assume as there was a hotfix today the current version won't work as its version v26.0.2.0 currently in my save? If it works even now I will order straight away.

    @Stam, any chance the staff attributes ie Set Pieces will get implemented? It feels like FM Scout has been on life support these past few years.
