Football Manager 2026 League Updates - FM26 England Lower Leagues to Level 11
As always, this will be the biggest English database available to play for Football Manager 2026. The largest database on Football Manager is back for another installment.

Level 11 is here! Down to the Regional First Divisions! Fully working FA Cup and FA Trophy with regionalised early draws. It comes with more than 36,000 database changes.
You can manage a club 11 leagues down the English football pyramid. By the time you reach Premier League, all real players would be probably retired and you'd be in a fantastic football world filled with newgens.

This England Level 11 database for FM26 includes real structure and rules, as well as all the cups. It's complete down to level 10 so far, with the plan being to reach level 20. A Gargantuan task no doubt.

Released: 9 November 2025 (Level 8)
Updated: 9 March 2026 (Level 11)

How to unlock England Level 11 in FM 2026

  1. Move the downloaded E20 - England Level 11.fmf file to:
    \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2026\editor data\
    Create folder "editor data" if it doesn't exist already.

  2. Open Football Manager 2026 and start a new career, In the top right of the screen, under "Database", make sure this file is selected.

  3. It is recommended that you select "Add players to playable teams" from the Advanced Options box when selecting your leagues, otherwise 99% teams will have greyed out players however this slows down the game speed. If left unticked the game runs faster however there are less players to pick from in-game.

  4. Also make sure to load all players from England using the Advanced... Database Size options.

Note: Despite his best efforts there will be some strange club movements into leagues not in their region, unfortunately the game itself isn't clever enough to stop this.

    @mitza8 if you on all 10 division, it will be slow due to a lot of matches loading, you need to upgrade your pc if you want to load all of them quickly.
  • mitza8's avatar
    I'm getting a very long loading time after every match with this database, is anyone else experiencing this issue?
  • goldendragon87's avatar
    Does this update add in the missing wonderkids (Gabriel/Dowman etc) and if not is there a way to combine that update with this one to get all leagues and all players?
  • phnompenhandy's avatar
    Is this poster below me impersonating the creator of the best 10-tier England mod?

    There is so many teams going into incorrect divisions all over the place.
    There is also teams joining leagues that was not in the game in the 1st season.
  • SIR_Mario's avatar

    1) Staplford Town
    id: 2000778324

  • Dannufc1992's avatar

    Does anyone know if there are more levels coming? If I remember correctly, there was a Level 20 database for FM 23 created by Dan. Would be nice if that also comes to FM 26.
  • Rittings's avatar
    Not sure why the transfer window never opens for the newly added tiers. Oversight?
