FM26 Faster UI Patch: 250% Speed Up

I have released a patch speeding up the Football Manager 26 UI by 200-250%!

After applying this patch, the UI feels super snappy and responsive. The squad tab looks like it might under a different section, but still a huge speed up.

Updated: 30 of March 2026

Installing the UI Speed Patch

This patch uses the ui-panelids_assets_all.bundle file to speed up panel loading times in the game. Many thanks to FMAustii for the help on updating the patch

Watch video or keep reading.

1. Download the file.


2. Locate the Game Directory: Navigate to your Football Manager installation directory. The standard path for Windows is typically:
   

   \Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64\

   And for Mac:
   

   ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 26/fm.app/Contents/Resources/Data/StreamingAssets/aa/StandaloneOSX

3. Locate the original "ui-panelids_assets_all.bundle" file in the game's data folder and make a backup copy before proceeding.


4. Copy and paste the file into the game directory. When asked, choose to overwrite/replace the existing file.

Enjoy!
