I've created a set of Custom Start Dates for FM23. These allow you to start the game on a specific date and not on the default start dates for each league.
The pack contains ten editor data (.fmf) files - you only need to use one of these for a given save game. They are clearly labelled and will allow you to start a new save on the noted date. This file works by overwriting the Seychelles with a custom nation which has a start date set as per the list below.
Installation Instructions
- Simply extract the files into the “editor data” folder; found within the "My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 20XX" on Windows.
- When setting up a new game, go to the Database drop down and select the start date file you need - you can only select one.
- Go to Advanced Setup and Add/Remove Leagues - you should see a new nation appear in Africa “sortitoutsi.net Custom Start Date” - make sure this nation is ticked.
- Set this new nation to View Only and add the playable leagues you wish to use, as normal.
- Select the Game Start Date in the bottom right, and navigate to the new “sortitoutsi.net Custom Start Date" nation and select the desired date.
The start dates are best used in combination with a Real Results file (such as this one) but can be used standalone as the game will simulate results for all playable leagues up to the chosen start date.
The dates currently included are the final Monday of each month:
- 29/08/2022
- 26/09/2022
- 31/10/2022
- 28/11/2022
- 26/12/2022
- 30/01/2023
- 27/02/2023
- 27/03/2023
- 24/04/2023
- 29/05/2023
- 05/06/2023
Added to latest version (June 13th update)
- 14/11/2022
- 12/06/2023
If you would like to request a specific date not included in the list above, please comment below (remember that the game start date must be a Monday) and I will look to add them in a future version.

does anyone struggle to get budgets for the summer of 2023?
Kathan Desai
I have a problem when I use this with the results database for some reason every player's contract gets reduced to one year shorter i.e Mbappe's contract should end in 2024 but it ends in 2023 only I don't why is someone else also has the same problem

The added date 12 June still only starts from 5th June. I tried to edit to the 12th of July..still June 5th

Any chance to get an update to start AFTER July 1st 2023?
Ron Williams
Is there any way to start the game in July 2023? Either through editing this file or adding a league that starts at this time in real life
aimcmanager
all players in my save are a year older than they should be?
James Kirkland
Any time i try and start a save with this mod, I sim 1 day and about 20 managers get sacked/resign. Any way around this?

I think this is because the data update interacts with the custom start date.
If anyone finds a fix, please let us know!

National selection. How can I start at the end of the season with a national team and be able to pick the players. I want to start in the U21 Euro Championships. But teams are already confirmed and I can't add key players to my squad. How can I edit the team selection date to 5 June 2023
