Football Manager 2026 League Updates - AFC Leagues for FM26 by MasterIgor v26.9 (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 26.2.0 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 v26.9:
- Uzbekistan: Pro League expands to 14 teams in 2026
- AFC Champions League Elite: in 2026 expands to 16 teams in the league phase per region and in 2027 the knockout playoff is added.
Changes in v26.8:
- Syria updated to DB 26.2 which came with FM update 26.3
- Some changes and fixes to the South East Asian Club Championship
Changes in v26.7:
- AFC Continental: fixed getting teams from correct Nepali division (National League)
- Iran: added/updated foreigner rules for Azadegan League

- South Korea: fixed foreigner rules for K1 and K2 (5 or 4 allowed in playing 11 and not matchs squad)

Changes in v26.6:
- all files updated for DB 26.2.0
- Thailand: corrected foreigner rules
- Nepal: National League now replaces the A League
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

- Vietnam: file is now verified
Changes in v26.2:

    but there is just a single problem if you did fix it it will be amazing, okay so you did actually made the fourth placed team in the (saudi league) play a play-off to qualify for the tournament but also the 5th placed team play the playoff, it dont work because you made the winner of the king cup qualify directly to the AFC elite, if you cant make any changes to the winner of the king cup to qualify directly to AFC TWO, just do not make the winner of the king cup qualify to any comptetion and make the 4th and 5th placed teams play the play-off and the 6th placed team qualify for AFC TWO same as in real life, PLEASE make this happen PLEASE!!

    oh no worries now it worked you did a really great job !!!
  • mohammed alharbi's avatar
    great to hear everything is good, but i tried to download it but in the 26.9 file it says (AFC Continental Competitions (men) by MasterIgor v26.6) version, so how can i make it work ???
  • nono28's avatar
    UEFA leagues?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    Yes good, I got the AFC competitions to work with the expanded number of teams. The only thing left is the 7-10 playoff which I could not find much about. So thanks for that, I will add it from the 2027 season - like in real life

    How it’s going with you igor is everything good?
  • Ahmed lololo's avatar
    Okay igor, so first AFC Asia two will have NO changes to the competition, second AFC ELITE will introduce 2 groups west and east, every team will play 8 matches same as now, the competition will expand to 16 teams that means the first 6 teams will qualify for RO16, and 7th to 10th will have to play a single legged playoff (7th place and 8th place will be rewarded to play at their home) unfortunately this playoff new rule will be applied to the 2027/2028 season due to calendar congestion, which means the 2026/2027 will be the top 8 teams from each region will qualify directly, honestly if you can make the playoff game work it will be better it gives a challenging vibe for the competition, this all about the new format rules hope it helps you, and you can check AFC hub account on instagram to see the nation allocation slot for the teams

    If I really want to change the quota for the acl Thailand league from True Bangkok to Port FC, how can I change it?
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    Uzbekistan I will try to update, but not all teams are in the database yet since a few were only founded in 2025
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    for AFC Elite, does anyone know the format?
    2 groups of 16 teams (west and east), but how often do they play eachother? Is it still 8 matches? I could not find any information on that.

    @mohammed alharbi: as far as I know, this is still a proposal and not official. If it is official and the format is clear, then I will certainly do it if I have the time
  • mohammed alharbi's avatar
    hey igor, since the AFC had made a new changes to the asian compitions the last two days, as AFC elite got more teams to it from 24 to 32, 16 west and 16 east, as also most of the best nations teams such as saudi and japan will be add more to the compition, will you make this work on the game ??
  • MasterIgor's avatar
    @ahmed lololo: I know, you asked me this several times, and I tried to explain several times already that I don't know how to do it correct, because if the coefficients change and Saudi no longer have 4 spots, then it will be incorrect also.

    so, I don't know how to fix it so it is always correct.
    If you know how to make it work in the editor, please send me and I will make the change.

    Good day, I returned from my break but am very frustrated about the latest updated by SI. Apparently they made a million changes in the database but did not increase the version.
    In my opinion this is very unprofessional by SI. Now there are 2 variants of the 26.2.0 database out there, and my files do not work with both.
    I will update to the latest, but then they will not work with the older version.. so in any case, people like me will look like the losers.
    Also, in my game, only Syria in AFC is locked. The others are working.. any more feedback about this?

    Hi Igor, I found that there might be a bug with the Hong Kong league start dates for v26.7. The start dates are all in April and May 2026, instead of summer 2025
