FM24 League Updates

Hi, I think I see that you've started this. Will the correct club logos still be updated for Siwelele and Durban City for eg? Also, I've tried updating the squad of Durban City, but because there is still a Durban City semi-pro team with the same logo, every time I try update the players, @Club Almagro  rejects my submissions and then moves the players to the semi-pro team, which is obviously incorrect. Is there a way to fix this, by getting rid of that team or something like that?

Once you confirm all is done, I can look through and let you know if anything missing. Also, I'll update all the squads with the correct players to be current, which I've already started with.

Thanks so much

The change is, that the U23 Rule is now a U24 Rule. In the text I sent you before, the latest date for the younger foreign players was January 2003, which has now been moved back to 2002. So you would just need to shift the two dates by one year.

I had to chop off your response, because of spam filter.

Ah, right - yes, I see now. Sorry, I completely overlooked that part as being different from what I had. In that case - yes, that should be possible.

I agree with you on that rule, I don't think it can be done in the pre-game editor either. But you can change the age rule by increasing it by one year, because an example Archie Brown and Nene comply with the u23 rules in real but they don't comply in the game.

For the new Update, the rule is still wrong. Could you watch over it again? The U23 Date ingame is 1/1/2001. it has to be 1/1/2000.

Hello everybody,

I´m here just to report what I think there's something wrong with de data update in Japan, where it seems to be ok because I opened the file with the game editor but in game some players are not where they should be , I ll give the example of Urawa Reds with 3 of major players not being in the team such as Thiago Santana, Gustafson and Yusuke Matsuo.

I repeat when I opened with game editor they are there but once I open the game and create de game file they in the wrong clubs.

Thanks you all for the attention!

Just to confirm - and I know others have also been keen to see this corrected: I am getting around to updating the Turkey (League) file to include the necessary correction.

I am just running simulation tests to make sure the in-game behaviour is as expected for all years.

Following that, I will be tackling a long-overdue update to the Club Transfer Bans file as there are some clubs who have formally had their bans lifted.

I am hoping that a (finally) correct Turkey (League) file will be part of tomorrow's update onwards.

…and to circle back to the above: I have now uploaded the new version of the Türkiye (League) file to the Data Update. This will appear from tomorrow's build onwards.

The correction in this file specifically alters the foreign player rule to adjust the age-limit by one year, in-line with the real-life rule for the Süper Lig. I have tested this in-game and the expected behaviour can be seen both in the first year and subsequent years.

I recently trying to make update about Taiwan's football league squad update and i found that the teams are still in their participating league during 2024/25 season, so I want to make a submission about their promotion and relegation. Here's the update:
 

Clubs that joined Chinese Taipei Football Premier League:

Taichung Rock (2000377614, promoted from Chinese Taipei Second Division)

Clubs that joined Chinese Taipei Second Division:
Taichung Rock B (New club, affiliate to Taichung Rock, can't be promoted to Chinese Taipei Football Premier League due to parent club)

Fu Jen Catholic University (5627165, affiliate to New Taipei City Hang Yuan, can't be promoted to Chinese Taipei Football Premier League due to parent club)

Kaohsiung Attackers (New club, same owner of the women's team Kaohsiung Attackers Football Club)

Wan Island (New club)

Clubs that left Chinese Taipei Second Division:
Saturday Football International (2000095274, club dismissed)

Taipei Elite SC (2000286583, club didn't participate the qualification)

Kaohsiung University Guoguang (2000377524, club transferred their participating rights to Kaohsiung Attackers)

Things have gone a bit quiet, lately, on this front - but I just wanted to confirm that the FM24 Data Update now includes a new Greece (League) file which updates Greece to reflect the 2025/26 season.

It includes the competition structure (both league and cup) as it is in real-life, as well as the changes that take place in to next season in real-life. Naturally, it contains promotions/relegations, competition and club history as with our other nation updates. A bit overdue, but finally got it done.

Moving on to other nations next.

The FM24 Data Update now includes a Norway (League) file which updates Norway to reflect the upcoming 2026 season (for the most part). The file does not include the altered schedule to the Norwegian Cup which, as of this season, span across multiple years.

It includes promotions/relegations for all playable divisions. It also includes a points deduction to one OBOS-Ligaen club (Åsane) which is applied for the 2026 season.

The earlier start date (2023) reflects the real-life 2025 season. The later start date (2024) reflects the real-life 2026 season.

Just a small update for everyone's awareness.

I've uploaded two new file versions into the FM24 Data Update - both are iterations/updates on files previously done by @TheMinsterman (thank you for the base work!).

They are an update to South America, reflecting the correct qualifiers for the CONMEBOL competitions (Copa Libertadores and Copa Suda Americana). It doesn't work 100% in-game because we don't have the corresponding, updated history for the nations that provide these competitions with teams…but it gets us 90% of the way there and means if we manage to do those individual nations then everything will be 100% correct.

The second is a new version of England (League), which includes two specific changes. The first is the addition of the 6-point deduction to Leicester City for the first season. The second is the alteration to the Championship Playoffs from the second season onwards so they reflect the newly-announced six-team format. The only area of estimation has been on the calendar dates for those extra two games - I have squeezed them in between the final league matchday and the semi-final dates, as I suspect that is how they will do it in real-life (and this also avoids disturbing the sequence of the divisional playoffs relative to each other).

When downloading and installing the FM24 Data Update, just do as you always would - replace all files you previously had installed and then start a new game.

No problem at all @M.C, let me know if any quirks come

up and I can help troubleshoot based on the methodology I applied to any files I made. I lost the files when my old PC died but I’ve done them the same way for years 🙂

@M.C hope all well. I have had a hiatus from sortitoutsi over the past six months or so but hoping to get back into moderating and the data update in the close season again. Is there any chance at all you could create a Scottish file with the lower league levels for FM24? There are big changes coming this summer below League 2, with the Lowland League splitting into Lowland League East and Lowland League West. It means some of the very large well established lower league clubs like Auchinleck, Cumnock and Pollok are now one step away from League 2. However, the teams going into each league, as well as new teams joining lower levels as a knock on aren't none yet. I can provide all of that when known, just wondering if any appetite to make a file for Scotland that covers lower leagues?

Does it seem likely all leagues will again be updated for FM24 given the very mixed feeling on FM26 that still exists? Thanks as always for all of the work you do on the league files with everyone else involved. 

Hi great work buddy I tried to change the playoffs in the championship on a database I use for lower league down to level 10 it's a steam mod just couldn't get my head around it errors galore any advice 

Hi, 

As my computer isn't new/good enough to play FM 2026, I was wondering if there would be an update of FM2024 (when this current season, including play-offs is over), that will include the promotions/relegations in at least the UK?

hopefully as i cant stand 26

The intention - as it has been up until now - is to continue supporting FM24 with as much up-to-date content as we can manage as a staff team.

Hi. 
The Director of Football role is completely missing from my FM24 last data update. Could you please share the fix file for this issue?

Just out of interest when does the English leagues get updated so that Hull, Coventry, Ipswich get promoted?

@thomas4444444 we wait for all the leagues in England to be finished so still waiting on the other playoffs.

Last year it was first done on 26th May with some fixes up until June 4th.

Can't say 100% sure when it'll be this year but that's a rough idea.

Is it possible for new players, which are in FM26 to also have the good CA in FM24?

For example:

https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/2000375912 has a 95CA in FM26, I gave him 110CA (Because of good performances)
but when loading the new players/Ability changes in FM24 he only is 73CA.

I haven't looked into that one player but the CA is randomised a little each save to make it more unique which is probably why you're seeing 73.

Will someone please tell me when the leagues are updated (Bolton fan so I'm excited to try us in the championship) and could someone also let me know if Sam Dalby and Kyle Dempsey being injured is part of the database or just a bug in game as they aren't IRL

@Logan Telford there is a thread here: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/76916/202627-league-updates-fm24-fm26 

I tried multiple files over multiple days, somehow it’s 73CA always. It’s a player who I think wasn’t in Fm24 default and newly created, but he doesn’t match the CA of the Fm26 databas

and 73CS for a starter in the eredivisie this season may be a bit too low 

That's correct - he's a player who has a newly-created instance (which is the instance that appears in FM24). The Ability Submissions system only applies to players in the official SI database - that is, to say, that the submission you've made for him is applied to the FM26 instance only.

The ability submissions aren't ‘linked’ across the two instances. It's something me and @Footygamer have discussed before. Consider it on the to-do list.

In the meantime, there would be a need to submit, separately, for the amendment to take place for the FM24 instance. Given the player's been linked to the FM26 instance (which is a good thing), it does make them a bit tricky to find on the site, however. You can use this page to search through the created players: https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/attributes/new-players/browse.
