Football Manager 2026 Skins - Material Skin 26 by budwaiser4 - v0.1
The Material Skin is ready for you again this year!

It's based on the colors of the skin created for previous editions of the game, with the addition of a couple of custom backgrounds.

For now, this version is based on the game still in beta, so there may be structural issues unrelated to the skin.

I hope you like it, and if you'd like to support my work, I'd be very grateful. :)

If you'd like information on how to change any colors, DM me and I'll try to help you as much as I can. :)

Cheers

    @Manager send me a DM with your colors for low, good and excellent attribute and i send a new file to you :) (normal attribute can't be modified for now)

    Would it be possible to make the attribute colours more different? On the screenshot at least for my eyes its very hard to differentiate bad attributes like 3 or 5 from good attributes like 17 because the colours are quite similar. Thanks for your work, always one of my favorite skins

    Hi Zen, we must study the new architecture of the skin to understand what is possible to do..it's not so easy
  • Zen7198's avatar
    Hi, is it possible to add the tactical lineup information and match ratings when viewing AI match reports like in FM24? Currently, it only shows in list form, which is quite inconvenient.
