I personally wanted a European Super League in Football Manager. I have never been a huge fan of World League databases, because I enjoy the European side of football the most.
This database rebuilds European football into one connected Super League pyramid with 5 divisions, promotion/relegation, and two major cup competitions.
The database has also been played by YouTubers like Omega Luke:

Main Version
This is the latest main version of the European Super League database.
Contains
1040 teams divided over 5 divisions:
- UEFA Premier League - 48 teams, 1 group of 48
- UEFA League 2 - 96 teams, 2 groups of 48
- UEFA League 3 - 192 teams, 4 groups of 48
- UEFA League 4 - 384 teams, 8 groups of 48
- UEFA Amateur League - 320 teams, 8 groups of 40
Every European country/region in the club ID list has at least one club included in the system.
Promotion and Relegation
- UEFA Premier League: 16 relegated
- UEFA League 2: 16 promoted, 32 relegated
- UEFA League 3: 32 promoted, 64 relegated
- UEFA League 4: 64 promoted, 128 relegated
- UEFA Amateur League: 128 promoted
The main league pyramid now has a cleaner flow: UEFA League 2, UEFA League 3 and UEFA League 4 all relegate around one third of their teams. The Amateur League has a higher promotion rate to keep the bottom level active and unpredictable.
Cup Competitions
- UEFA Champions Cup - 336 clubs from the UEFA Premier League, UEFA League 2 and UEFA League 3.
- UEFA Runners Cup - 704 clubs from UEFA League 4 and UEFA Amateur League.
- Champions Cup requires at least 5 U23 players in the starting 11.
- Runners Cup requires at least 4 U23 players in the starting 11.
- Cup dates have been adjusted to spread fixtures better through the season.
What Is New In The Main Version
- Expanded from 1024 clubs to 1040 clubs.
- The league structure has been rebuilt around 48-team groups, with the Amateur League using 40-team groups.
- Promotion and relegation has been rebalanced for a cleaner long-term pyramid.
- UEFA League 4 is now much larger, creating a stronger bridge between the main leagues and the Amateur League.
- The cup competitions have been updated to match the new league structure.
- Every European country/region now has representation in the database.
Optional Alternative Version: v4.5
v4.5 is still available as an optional alternative version for players who want faster processing and better compatibility with newer FM24 transfer updates.
Download:

v4.5 keeps 1024 clubs, but uses smaller 32-team groups to reduce the league match load.
- UEFA Premier League - 64 teams, 2 groups of 32
- UEFA League 2 - 128 teams, 4 groups of 32
- UEFA League 3 - 192 teams, 6 groups of 32
- UEFA League 4 - 256 teams, 8 groups of 32
- UEFA Amateur League - 384 teams, 12 groups of 32
Every club plays 31 league matches in v4.5, so this version should process faster than the main version.
v4.5 Differences
- 1024 clubs instead of 1040.
- 32-team groups for faster seasons.
- Promotion/relegation flow is 16 / 36 / 48 / 72.
- UEFA Champions Cup has 384 clubs.
- UEFA Runners Cup has 640 clubs.
- Original B clubs such as Bayern II and Castilla are no longer deleted in this alternative version.
- Player club-move edits from the original file were removed to improve compatibility with modern transfer update files.
This version is meant as a compatibility/performance alternative. The main version is the recommended version if you want the full updated structure.
IMPORTANT
When starting a save, you may get a message about disciplinary rules. This is a standard issue since FM24.3. Just click through the messages and continue.
For the best experience:
- Load only Gibraltar in Europe. Other continents can be loaded freely.
- For updated transfers, I recommend using fmtransferupdate.com or FM Data Tweaks by SirTavares.
- I do not recommend using other promotion/relegation files together with this database.

Next Update
I may update when there are bugs. I don't play FM26 anymore.

Thanks for the feedback! I will probably reduce this to 3 in FM25 edition (If you ever want to start a new game, message me and I will give you a modified version of FM24 with 3 U-23)
Thanks for this again btw
the fix when your save is affected:
Go on holiday for a season but you lose a season of progress
to fix everything I fixed the amateur league my self, but that fix only works with a new save (with the new 3.0 version of this database) sadly.
I'm now in 2025 and just promoted with my team from league 3 to league 2. But I don't get new fixtures and the competition isn't refreshing. The only fixtures that did come up were the ones from the runners up cup.
I saw your fix to just delete all the teams in the amateur and added them again. But this didn't seem to fix my issue. I'm now already on the 23th of august and I really hope you can help me fix it. I have no experience with the pre game editor so maybe I did something wrong. Really hope I don't lose all the progress I made in my save.
Thanks in advance!
if you want to test the database yourself: Add Canada also as country, select the furtherst date in April 2024 so that you could simulate fast to the second season in the UEFA League. Every league on 2 July 2024 has fixtures but not UEFA Amateur League
Haven’t had any luck fixing this. So for now consider this broken. Hope anyone can find a fix while I am looking for it too. It seems like not every save is affected by it.
should not be the case, are you using any other databases? Haven’t had any issues here. You could always send your save file in messages so I could have a look
Only select Gibraltar (other countries outside Europe is good too)
I don't recommend using any promotions databases and stuff.
I just use the latest fmtransferupdate.com file which works!
Still figuring out the following things probably for next year's version:
- Better pricing system in the competitions (Since I may feel the cup prices are a bit too much)
- Better Cup system.
But I am going to school again so haven't had much time yet! But really fun to to see my favorite FM creator to use my database
EDIT: i see the other answers for it

This file needs to be tested and verified in the editor.
I want to play this with the 07/08 throwback mod.
Thanks
