Football Manager 2026 League Updates - FM26 Polish lower leagues (down to 4th level)
As usual, yearly file to start your save as low as in 4th level in Poland.

Tested for 10 years in the game, all is okay.

What has changed?

  • Added II Liga - playable with recreated promotion and relegation playoffs/li]
  • Added III Liga - playable with promotion playoffs/li]
  • Added IV Liga non-playable, used for promotion/relegation from III Liga only/li]

Few pointers

  • U21 Squad rewards were changed, I've put them as usual with new money distribution rules (all teams get the money, depending on league position)

  • II liga playoffs are set just as I liga playoffs (yes, 3–4 days break between last match of regular season and 1st semi-final playoff is normal)

  • As usual, promotions and relegations between 3 Liga and IV Liga may not be 100% accurate due to regionalization. Teams should be in the nearest available division if there's not enough spaces in the right division (teams from north (II Group) won't be in south division (IV group)). No artificial league increase is required for this level, if I'd do lower levels, maybe I would try to restrict this even more, right now default settings set by us researchers are fine.

I'll be honest guys, I don't like FM26 in current state. For me, it's tedious and simply not fun. But because there are people playing it and liking it, I've decided to create the file nevertheless.

And I don't know if I create lower leagues, probably not.


Installation instruction

1) Download the File.

2) Drag the file into your "Editor Data" folder, located at \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\editor data. If this folder doesn't exist, create it.

3) Open Football Manager 26 and start a new career, In the top right of the screen, under "Database", make sure this Data File is selected.

4) Click "Advanced Setup" in the bottom right.

5) Once the database has loaded, click "Add/Remove League", then tick "Poland". The Polish lower leagues will then be playable.

    Well, I haven't even checked the default rules at the start, but some user asked if I will remove the rule, so I've checked and this as well as u-21 rules for polish cup were in the editor. That's why I've updaded the file.

    @Bigpole The game must be bugged beyond our comprehension then, because after creating a clean-state career, this rule is not present in the competition rules.

    I haven't imported and converted anything. All files are made from scratch, and the rule is still in the default version of the game. Here are some screenshots below with proof.

    @Bigpole It is not. And it was not in the first beta build from which I also have the savefile. You probably added the rule by importing advanced rules from FM24 to make this file.

    This is what I was waiting for!
    Thank you!

    updated the file - removed u22 player mandatory rule from ekstraklasa (don't know why it was in vanilla version of the game), and tweaked polish FA cup final date.

    You probably loaded another file with polish league in fm26, you have to load only one file.

    I installed it. I started playing. Everything seemed fine. But it turned out that my team was only playing cup matches. The Premier League and lower leagues could not be displayed, as if they did not exist. When I uninstalled it and went back to FM26, everything was normal.
