Football Manager 2026 League Updates - AFC Leagues for FM26 by MasterIgor v26.5 (men only)
Hello everyone,

In the link is the league pack for all nations/federations in Asia. It also includes the continental competitions for AFC which are based on my solution for FM24 but with more accurate rules.

Currently only men's competitions are included.

! for Official 26.0.0 Update Database only !
Creating the world is a very time consuming task, and I do not have the time to support and test all databases. So I am going with the latest version only. The bright side is that it is for free. Tips are more than welcome though :-)

This file contains leagues and cups in real formats for all member federations of the AFC.

please see the readme.html for details.

Changes in v26.5:
- South Korea: changes to Korean league formats, promotion and relegations for 2026 onwards
- Malaysia: fixed transfer windows and registration windows
- removed U-18 leagues from Malaysia and Indonesia for performance reasons
- added U-19 reserve leagues to Afghanistan, Bhutan, Chinese Taipei, Guam, North Korea, Macau, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Northern Mariana, Pakistan, Palestine, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Timor Leste and Yemen
Changes in v26.4:
- changed and hopefully fixed registration issues for AFC Cups
Changes in v26.3:
- Indonesia: changed O35 and U21 player restrictions for Championship
- Saudi Arabia: Fixed missing transfer windows
- Vietnam: file is now verified
Changes in v26.2:
- Indonesia: Updated correct format for Liga Nusantara
- Japan: Updated foreigner rules
- Malaysia: Corrected Malaysian Cup Format
- Qatar: Updated foreigner rules
- Vietnam: Fixed TV Money / Prize money

I wish you a lot of success in your managerial adventures in Asia.

Master Igor.

    @mohammed alharbi im also using saudi db. There is no summer transfer window. You also experiencing that?
  • mohammed alharbi's avatar
    hello, there is two things that are wrong in the saudi league database, first its the registration players period should be at anytime, second saudi cup winner qualify for ACL champions league TWO and not ELITE, and the fourth place depends on the winner of the saudi cup, if the saudi cup winner is from the top three in the league the ACL champions league two ticket goes to the fourth place team in the league, but if the winner of the saudi cup is not in the top three the winner of the saudi cup qualify

    please fix this igor

    Hi, I’m using your Saudi database and noticed there’s no summer transfer window. Is this a bug that I'm experiencing?
  • _dodozakaria's avatar
    @Masterigor I think that the regulation for players over 35 in Division 2 Indonesia does not exist in the real world, so please update and delete this regulation.

    @masterigor I think the Vietnam League db has not been verified yet

    @MasterIgor: After the special tournament of J League, there will be no restriction on foreigner players. However, it should be the same as before (5 foreign players in match squad, and some countries doesn’t count foreign players). Idk if the lastest patch has fixed it, but some of my friends pointed out this problem on the last patch or before it.

    @Extrovert Tom: yes delete that file, I see the verb is missing in the readme. Sorry for the confusion.

    @ytplasticman: Japan has 5 foreigner in match squad limit. Do you mean the homegrowns? to be honest, I did not touch this since I assumed SI knows better...
  • ytplasticman's avatar
    Great to see you back in FM26
    Btw, I have noticed that the foreigners rule between Japan Leagues and ACL rules has been swapped in the official game data.
  • cprrylow's avatar
    glad to see you back for FM26!
  • Extrovert Tom's avatar
    In Japan section it says this

    "IMPORTANT! > For optimal experience, please following file, otherwise the Prefectural Qualifiers will not have enough teams and some will never start"

    So do you meant to say please delete the following files or what?

    Lets Go MasterIgor is finally back
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @mic4: should work yes

    @Min2413: I will have a look at how soon I will release those changes.

    @michaelballack9221: I don't know. They were not added by SI, and I did not add them - because I keep database changes to a minimum. only vital changes to make the rules work.
  • michaelballack9221's avatar
    Why are the results of the 24/25 season not listed in the Saudi League?
  • Min2413's avatar
    I think you need to check Malaysia editor data back because the date for Piala FA is wrong and the round of 16 or first round have 2 legs and then make MFL Cup the Malaysian Football League Cup inactive because they scraped the tournament this year.

    LETS GOOOO, THIS MADE MY DAY

    Great to see this back, enjoyed your files a lot in FM23 and 24. Very curious to see your OFC update and especially how or if you'll make the new OFC Pro League, it looks fun but very complicated!
  • mic4's avatar
    @MasterIgor is it compatible with the latest update?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @joshj: yes, winner ACLE qualifies to group stage, winner ACL2 to playoff stage (or gets promoted to group stage, depending on number of qualifiers and who) and winner ACGL qualifies to ACL2 group stage. Should all work like in real.

    @Dannufc1992: I can't say yet when. Typically I do UEFA last because there are already lots of nations in-game. What I do for France, I decide when I do France. So I don't know yet.
  • joshj's avatar
    Hi, first of all, THANK GOD you finally post it. I've been using your DB since FM 24. I got a question for this new DB you made for fm26. Does the winner of ACL Two automatically qualified for the ACL Elite in the next season?
  • Dannufc1992's avatar
    Good to see you back master igor I used your databases when I transferred to PC for fm24. Can I ask when you do UEFA can you add in national 3 for France. Thanks
  • museblackhole14's avatar
