The latest Football Manager 2026 update has been released, addressing over 200 issues including wage demands and Saudi League AI. Initially delayed, the patch is now available via Steam Public Beta Track, with a full rollout expected on November 21.
Key fixes include improvements to the wage system, particularly for youth and lower league players, who previously made unreasonable salary requests after promotion. The update also resolves several game crashes that affected online matches, and enhances the user interface with additional polish.
Other notable changes include fixes to freezes during human vs. human online matches, issues with large custom databases, and problems with youth team training calendars. Players can now select their preferred FPS setting or match it to their monitor's refresh rate.
The update also corrects European coefficient points allocation, ensures snow appears outside stadiums, and fixes a crash when continuing with a club from the United Arab Emirates. Additionally, the Data Hub now displays data from the correct match, and shirt numbers can be assigned to players out on loan.
Sports Interactive has also addressed issues with tactic loading within matches, home shirt icons in the Tactics Planner, and the Prize Money portal message. The update is expected to be publicly available on Steam, Epic Games Store, and Windows Store on November 21, with console and touch editions following the same day.
