As usual the update is save game compatible, so you don't have to start a new save game.
To update you will need to close down Football Manager 2026 and then re-open the game for it to update. If this does not work for you or you feel it has not updated you will need to restart Steam/Epic.

Sometimes the tactical layout on the tactics screen becomes visually compressed (DM and CM lines appear too close together). Reloading the tactic fixes the spacing.
During matches, if I pause the game and give a team shout, occasionally the Play button becomes unresponsive and I cannot resume the match.
