Football Manager 2026 Tools - FM26 Player Export v4 — How to Export Data to CSV and HTML
📣 V4.0 UPDATE RELEASED! 🚀 FM26 Player Export with the power of "O Fenômeno"!

[img]https://freeimage.host/i/qVdDQUP[/img]

Hey everyone! V4.0 of our player export plugin is live, and it's ready to score in the grand final! 🔥🇧🇷

What's new:
⭐ New F9 Hotkey: In honor of Ronaldo "O Fenômeno" (R9), we've made life easier!
Now you just have to select the players, hit F9, and the entire export happens automatically. (The classic Ctrl+P is still there too).

⭐ Moneyball HTML Export: That beautiful FM24 table is back!
The plugin now delivers a complete CSV and an HTML file exactly like the old one.

⭐ Clean and Organized: The files go straight to your Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 26 \ FM26PlayerExport by vinteset folder.

🚨 INSTALLATION WARNING: If you are using version 3.1, you MUST DELETE THE OLD DLL from the plugins folder! If you just paste version 4 over it, the mod will bug out and crash your game.

Another golden tip: hit F9 and take your hands off the mouse! Let it scroll the screen on its own, because if you interfere with the scrolling, FM will skip players during the extraction.

📢 Update — Patreon & Future Development
FM26PlayerExport has been downloaded over 500 times and is now on v4 — thank you all for the support and feedback, it genuinely keeps this project going.
To help cover the costs behind the plugin (server, AI plans, and development time), I've opened a Patreon page. The plugin is free and always will be — this is just an optional way to support if you'd like to.

No pressure at all. Even sharing the mod page helps. Thank you for being part of this. ⚽🙏

What Does This Plugin Do?

FM26 Player Export is a free BepInEx plugin that lets you export any player list from Football Manager 2026 directly to a CSV file and HTML file — with a single keyboard shortcut. No copy-pasting, no third-party apps running in the background.

It works on two screens:
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Squad screen (your club's squad)
🗄️ Player Search / Database screen (filtered search results)

The export captures all columns currently visible on screen — including name, age, position, nationality, ability stars, salary, contract expiry, and any custom columns you've added. It also auto-scrolls the list so every player is captured, not just the ones visible at the time.

Requirements

Before installing, make sure you have the following:
  • Football Manager 2026 (Steam, Windows) | Steam |
  • BepInEx 6 for Unity IL2CPP | [BepInEx Releases on GitHub](https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx/releases) |
⚠️ BepInEx must already be installed and working before you install this plugin. If you've never used BepInEx with FM26 before, install it first and launch the game once to let it generate its folder structure.



Installation

Step 1 — Download the plugin

Download the file from the link below and save it somewhere you can find it.

📥 Download FM26PlayerExport v3.1.0

⚠️ HEADS UP — Windows SmartScreen / Antivirus Warning
When downloading the plugin .dll file, Windows may block the download or show a security warning. This is completely normal — Windows flags any DLL downloaded from the internet that doesn't have a paid digital certificate from a registered company.

The plugin contains no viruses, malware or malicious code of any kind. It only reads FM26's UI to export player data — it does not access the internet, does not modify your save file, and does not alter any game files.
How to unblock the file:
> Right-click the .dll file
> Click Properties
> On the General tab, check the "Unblock" checkbox at the bottom
> Click OK
> If your antivirus removes the file automatically, add the folder BepInEx\plugins\FM26PlayerExport\ as an exception in your antivirus settings.

The full source code is available for anyone who wants to verify it. Full transparency. 🙂

Step 2 — Locate your BepInEx plugins folder

Open **Windows Explorer** and navigate to your Football Manager 2026 installation folder. By default this is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26
Inside that folder, open:
BepInEx → plugins

Step 3 — Create the plugin folder

Inside the **plugins** folder, create a new folder called:
FM26PlayerExport

Step 4 — Copy the DLL

Copy the **FM26PlayerExport.dll** file you downloaded into the folder you just created:
BepInEx\plugins\FM26PlayerExport\FM26PlayerExport.dll

Your folder structure should look like this:
Football Manager 26 > BepInEx > plugins > FM26PlayerExport > FM26PlayerExport.dll ✅

Step 5 — Launch Football Manager 2026

Start the game normally through Steam. The plugin loads automatically with BepInEx — no extra setup needed.




How to Export Players



From the Squad Screen

1. Open your club and go to the **Squad** tab
2. Set up your view with the columns you want exported (position, age, salary, etc.)
3. Press **`Ctrl + P`**
4. Wait a few seconds — the plugin will automatically scroll through the entire list
5. A message will appear in the BepInEx console confirming the export

From the Player Search / Database Screen

1. Go to **Scouting → Player Search** or open the global player database
2. Apply any filters you want (league, position, age, etc.)
3. Press **`Ctrl + P`**
4. The plugin scrolls through all results automatically
5. Done!



Where Is the CSV Saved?

The file is saved automatically to your **Football Manager 2026 documents folder**:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2026
The filename includes the date and time, for example:
player_export_20260310_235900.csv
You can open it with **Microsoft Excel**, **Google Sheets**, or any spreadsheet app. Make sure to choose **semicolon (;)** as the delimiter when importing.



Keyboard Shortcuts

`Ctrl + P` | Start export (auto-scrolls the full list)
`F8` | Re-scan UIDocuments (use this if you switch screens)
`F9` | Start export (auto-scrolls the full list)



Tips

- Set up your view first. Only the columns visible on screen will be exported. Add the columns you need before pressing `Ctrl + P`.
- Press `F8` when switching screens. If you export from the Squad screen and then switch to the Database screen (or vice versa), press `F8` first to let the plugin detect the new screen.
- Large databases may take a few seconds. The plugin scrolls one page at a time, waiting a few frames between each scroll to let the game load the data. Be patient.
- Stars are exported as numbers. A player with 4.5 ability stars will appear as `4,5` in the CSV.



Troubleshooting

The CSV is empty or shows 0 players
→ Press `F8` to re-scan, then try `Ctrl + P` again. Make sure you're on the Squad or Player Search screen.

The export starts but shows very few players
→ Your list might be filtered. Check if there are active filters on the screen limiting the results.

Headers show Col1, Col2, Col3...
→ This means the plugin can't read the column names. Try pressing `F8` and then `Ctrl + P` again.

Nothing happens when I press `Ctrl + P`
→ BepInEx may not be loaded correctly. Check that the file `BepInEx\LogOutput.log` exists and contains plugin loading messages.

Still having issues?
→ Press `F9` and share the `BepInEx\LogOutput.log` file in the comments below. The diagnostic output will help identify the exact problem.

    hi, congratulations for this mod, it's amazing! It seems like there is a limit of 5000 players that you can export...can you remove it to export the whole list?

    Hey guys.
    I don’t know if this is the correct channel to ask, but I’m using a MacBook Pro M1 and I currently can’t get the export control+ P thing to work.
    I tried to download both files for MacBook (mono & IL2CPP) but nothing works.
    anyone else with MacBook that has figured it out?
  • RPGFan's avatar
    hi is there any chance of this working for Epic store users instead of only for Steam ?
  • mantorras77's avatar
    Apparently this doesn't work with custom skins. If anyone uses a custom skin and got this tool to work please let me know which custom skin.
  • Dukelchen's avatar
    I have a Feature Request. If you don't tick any player, use all players.
  • peptalk92's avatar
    can you please make this for Mac please
  • opticfawn's avatar
    Hi vinteset can I do this on Mac?
  • Badcommando1's avatar
    Hi I didn't download my game from steam
    Got the game files from discord where I had to get it activated
    How do I run this mod on it without steam

    kavix_94 • 23 hours ago vinteset - Sorry, what do you mean I have to put it among the exceptions? I even started the game without Windows Defender, but still the same problem with online, it says I have no network connection, but then by removing the winhttp.dll file the game works online again, but obviously the mod doesn't work :

    hey man! I tried many things to test the online functionality, and in the end, what worked was renaming the winhttp.dll file to version.dll. Additionally, I added the FM folder as an exception in Defender. By doing this, the player export along with the online version worked here.
  • RPGFan's avatar
    Unforutnately this does not work if you have FM 26 in Epic store.

    Does this work also if I bought the game on Epic store ?
  • andrewcoates77's avatar
    Superb - Love your work

    Mine exports to its own folder within the FM files - if anybody struggling to find the files

    \Users\***********\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\FM26PlayerExport by vinteset



    then within there - there is two further folders with what you need in there

    Kavix_94,

    The online mode is having problems due to the use of BepInEx; you need to add it as an exception for it to work.
  • kavix_94's avatar
    Why can't I access the online career path after I've entered everything?
    This is what it says in the prompt.

    idontlikeanyone,
    I appreciate the feedback. :)
  • vinteset's avatar
    Ramuby,
    Open the console at the very beginning; it will show which version of the plugin was loaded. F9 only accessed version 4. Leave only the latest version of the plugin in the plugins folder to avoid version conflicts.
  • idontlikeanyone's avatar
    Bro, the plugin is actually so good and it works 10000%. I have zero complaints, it exports fast and all the data comes out perfectly. It’s seriously too good!!!

    Would it also be possible to make it work for exporting the current squad? At least for me it’s not working; I can only get it to work in the recruitment tab. ty so much for the work bro beleza joinha
  • Ramuby's avatar
    Hi, F9 doesn't work for me, only Ctrl + P works.

    What am I doing wrong?
  • vinteset's avatar
    Check which plugin version was loaded on the BepInEx console screen and remember to select all the players you want to export. If you just load the list and press F9, it won't export without selection.
  • Siepe1990's avatar
    Found a version on Thunderstore that works, but Ctrl + P opens the Preferences in FM26 - I do get a .csv, but only the first line from Squad Screen and Player Database are included... pressing F9 does nothing at all...

  • Siepe1990's avatar
    Can someone tell me what BepInEx version to download? I've downloaded the 6.0.0-pre.2, but I get an error when trying to run FM26: " Unsupported metadata version found! We support 23-29, got 31". AI tells me that my BepInEx doesn't support the FM26 Unity yet, but you guys do get it to work... Do I have the wrong BepInEx?
  • vinteset's avatar
    You need to open the game once after installing BepInEx. If it didn't create the folders after opening the game, your antivirus probably blocked the installation.
