⚽ Ultimate Matchball Megapack – FM24 / FM26
Hello FM Community!
I’m proud to present my Ultimate Matchball Megapack for Football Manager 2024–2026, featuring 130+ custom 3D matchballs designed to enhance realism and immersion in your saves.
This megapack includes a wide variety of competition-specific matchballs, complete with winter versions and special knockout-stage designs for major tournaments — giving decisive matches the atmosphere they deserve.
🔹 What’s Included
130+ custom 3D matchballs
Competition-specific designs
Winter editions where applicable
Unique templates for knockout stages of major competitions
Each ball has been carefully crafted to improve authenticity and visual variety throughout your season.
All textures are HD wherever possible.
If anyone has access to higher-resolution references that could improve certain balls, contributions are always welcome!
🔹 Highlights
This project builds upon the fantastic work of @bartdude and @JakDevlin , whose original 3D Balls Match Pack inspired this expansion.
I’ve refined, updated, and extended their work with additional leagues, details, and variations.
Special thanks to @DashingDaz8 for the go-ahead, valuable files, and continuous support.
This megapack is a community-driven effort — feedback, suggestions, and requests are always appreciated!
🔧 Installation Instructions
Download the megapack file.
Extract the balls zip file.
Move the balls folder to:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 20XX\graphics\
(Create any missing folders if necessary and overwrite all the existing files.)
Restart Football Manager (FM26).
If playing on FM24, reload your skin.
⚠️ Important – Clean Installation Required
Please make a clean installation by deleting your old balls folder before extracting this new version.
Starting from this release, the pack uses a new folder structure, organised by continents and nations, with subfolders for better organisation and easier future updates.
Keeping old files may cause conflicts or prevent certain balls from loading correctly.
🔁 Alternative & Brands Folder Instructions
If you want to use a ball inside the alt or brands folder:
Rename the original ball by adding -OLD at the end
(Example: ENG-premierleague → ENG-premierleague-OLD)
Copy the new ball into the appropriate folder
Rename it with the original file name
(Example: ENG-premierleague)
If you want to use a clubs or nations ball inside the 0-Generic Balls folder, simply rename the xml file from config_alt.xml to config.xml
🎮 FM26 Users
For an even better experience in some top-tier leagues, it is possible to use the balls included in the “FM26 3D Stadium Megapack” made by @BassyBoyYT .
⚠️ Important Notice
This megapack is and will always remain completely free.
Recently, I’ve been informed that some people are redistributing this pack while asking money for access. Please note that this project is shared freely with the community and must never be sold, monetized, or placed behind any kind of paywall.
A huge amount of time, research, and passion goes into creating and maintaining these matchballs. I do this for the community and for the love of the game.
Starting from this version, small and almost invisible details have been embedded within some files. These will help me identify unauthorized redistributions if necessary.
If you appreciate the work and would like to support it, you’re very welcome to offer me a coffee — but that’s entirely optional and never required.
Thank you for respecting the spirit of this project.
While many balls have been tested in-game, I haven’t had the chance to test every single one.
If you encounter issues or inconsistencies, please report them — your feedback helps improve future updates.
I wish you all the best in your managerial adventures! ⚽🔥

Hey Daz, any chance of making the new BOV Premier League (Malta) match ball for 2025/26 season please?
It’s the Adidas Tieo Tiro Pro, in a red white and a bit of black on it, as per the attached image attached.
Many thanks,

A question with the match balls for national teams:
116 for Japan is good in principle, but there's a competition in Brazil that has the same UID, so how do you differentiate between the National Team and the Brazilian competition without overwriting one or the other?

great work Darrell 😉

Are you asking for this ball to be made ?
Cant do much with a poor picture like that though, not even whole ball in image.
A please would be good also.
