Hello
I'm sorry, this question must have been asked a million times, but I cannot find the answer.
As a fan of a recently relagated club I'm super keen to start the 25/26 season, so have down loaded the latest data update but the Start Date options in FM24 are still 7/23 - 8/23. Is there a way to change this please?
Thank you

I totally get how you feel, I’ve been eager to start a new save with my favorite club after relegation too. Sometimes waiting for the updated start date in FM24 feels longer than a real preseason, but that excitement makes it all worth it.

Hi! In FM24, the Start Date is fixed by the database (7/23–8/23). To change it, you can use a custom 25/26 season database or edit the date in the in-game Editor before starting a new game.
