Football Manager 2026 League Updates - FM26 England Lower Leagues to Level 11
As always, this will be the biggest English database available to play for Football Manager 2026. The largest database on Football Manager is back for another installment.

Level 11 is here! Down to the Regional First Divisions! Fully working FA Cup and FA Trophy with regionalised early draws. It comes with more than 36,000 database changes.
You can manage a club 11 leagues down the English football pyramid. By the time you reach Premier League, all real players would be probably retired and you'd be in a fantastic football world filled with newgens.

This England Level 11 database for FM26 includes real structure and rules, as well as all the cups. It's complete down to level 10 so far, with the plan being to reach level 20. A Gargantuan task no doubt.

Released: 9 November 2025 (Level 8)
Updated: 9 March 2026 (Level 11)

How to unlock England Level 11 in FM 2026

  1. Move the downloaded E20 - England Level 11.fmf file to:
    \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2026\editor data\
    Create folder "editor data" if it doesn't exist already.

  2. Open Football Manager 2026 and start a new career, In the top right of the screen, under "Database", make sure this file is selected.

  3. It is recommended that you select "Add players to playable teams" from the Advanced Options box when selecting your leagues, otherwise 99% teams will have greyed out players however this slows down the game speed. If left unticked the game runs faster however there are less players to pick from in-game.

  4. Also make sure to load all players from England using the Advanced... Database Size options.

Note: Despite his best efforts there will be some strange club movements into leagues not in their region, unfortunately the game itself isn't clever enough to stop this.

    tried it only 1 file in editor data-Dans Level 8 and Bromsgrove Sporting are relegation candidates in EPL and City are Title favourites in the Northern Premier East-as if they have been swapped
  • Leeds-1919's avatar
    no-Dans L8 version

    @Leeds-1919: No way. I'm guessing you installed the other English database that goes to level 10 instead. There are currently 3 databases for England on our download area.

    @Ogkeewie: Not on this site at least. Maybe Google for tcm logos.

    @pauadrian: I don't know if Dan will work on a women's database.
  • Leeds-1919's avatar
    @stam, i also have Bromsgrove Sporting in the PL and Man City in non league

    i have tested with no other databases and @gagarin77 is correct-There is a problem
  • OGKEEWIE's avatar
    Anyone know of a corresponding logos pack?
  • pauadrian's avatar
    Can we get English women down to level 7 please? Would love to play with Wigan women. Thanks!

    Why would Dan fiddle with the Premier League? That makes no sense. And as I said, I'm not seeing that. Man City is in EPL as expected. Are you sure there are no other custom databases you have enabled in your game?
  • Gagarin77's avatar
    yes - there is bromsgrove sporting in premier , and man city in northern premier league divisione one east
  • Stam's avatar
    @Gagarin77: I'm not seeing that. Did you go for the Steam workshop option?
  • Gagarin77's avatar
    why in your database man city was relegated?
