The Scottish Revolution – FM26 Pyramid Overhaul

Tired of the 12-team "split" and playing the same teams four times a year? This mod completely reconstructs the Scottish Football Pyramid for FM26, bringing more variety, bigger leagues, and the high-stakes drama of the English-style playoff system.


NEW LEAGUE STRUCTURE

Scottish Premiership: Expanded to 16 Teams. No more split! A traditional home-and-away season providing a balanced and fair title race.

Scottish Championship: Expanded to 12 Teams. Increased competition for those fighting to reach the top flight.

Scottish League One: Expanded to 12 Teams. A more robust third tier to bridge the gap between regional and national football.

Scottish League two: Expanded to 36 Teams split between North/South (18 teams each)


THE EFL-STYLE PLAYOFF SYSTEM

We’ve removed the confusing "relegation playoffs" where higher-tier teams get a second chance. Now, the drama is purely about promotion:

Direct Relegation: The bottom three teams in the Premiership and Championship are relegated automatically. No safety nets.

Promotion Drama (Premiership & Championship):

1st & 2nd Place: Automatic promotion.

3rd through 6th Place: Enter the EFL-Style Playoffs. Two-legged semi-finals followed by a "Winner Takes All" Final at Hampden Park.

League One & The Regional Jump:

The bottom two teams in League One are relegated automatically.

The Champions of the Highland League and the Champions of the Lowland League are both promoted automatically to League One.

No more nerve-wracking pyramid playoffs—win your league, and you're up!


KEY FEATURES

Fixed Latitudes: Precise boundary settings ensure relegated clubs from League One filter correctly into the Highland or Lowland leagues based on their location.

Custom Cup Adjustments: The Scottish Cup and League Cup have been tweaked to accommodate the new league sizes and schedules.

Realistic TV Money: Rebalanced financial distributions to ensure the expanded leagues remain competitive and sustainable.

Updated Schedules: A revamped calendar that reduces fixture congestion while maintaining the tradition of the festive period.
