Football Manager 2020 League Updates - FM 2020 England Lower Leagues to Level 16
As always, this will be the biggest English database available to play for Football Manager 2020. The largest database on Football Manager will be back for another installment.

You can manage a club 16 leagues down the English football pyramid. By the time you reach Premier League (assuming you can win consecutive promotions every year), all real players would be probably retired and you'd be in a fantastic football world filled with newgens.

This England Level 16 database for FM20 includes real structure and rules, as well as all the cups (with future updates).
It's complete down to level 16. A Gargantuan task no doubt.

Released: 7 December 2019 (Level 10 - No League Cups for levels 9/10)
Updated: 28 September 2020 (Level 16)

    Hello,

    Have just downloaded the file but get error message when trying to start new career mode "Requires minimum of 20 teams for Southern League Division One Central, found only 19"

    Please can you assist on fixing this issue?

    Downloaded this today. Game says it needs to be verified in the editor first.
    Checked it in advanced rules and it says there is a promotion/relegation problem in the County Leagues.

    24/06/20, County Leagues, Promoted and relegated teams do not match up for County League (0 relegated) and Level 10 (4 promoted) (extra teams requested=0).
    Check to make sure Level 10 uses Flexible Format Rules.

    I had the same problem as "CRASHxtrm", in that I've put the file in the right place but can't access it in the database drop down
  • realIK17's avatar
    Hi I removed some clubs and added my senior team to a league in level 11, my U21 to level 12 and U18 to level 11. My senior team was promoted twice, but my youth teams stayed at the same leagues for two years despite winning their respective leagues. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Do I need to use FM2020 editor to edit the leagues? Thx
  • CRASHxtrm's avatar
    I've put the downloaded file to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\editor data and it still doesn't show up when I am creating a new career. Please help me with this

    Does this fix the issues with League one? Do they still have 23 teams in the second season instead of 24?

    An update is needed to make it compatible with 20.3, yes?

  • newtestleper's avatar
    Don't know if it affects gameplay, but every club has at least two duplicate fixtures in their schedule.
