This file will need to be re-applied if/when official patches/updates are released to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are automatically re-installed by Steam when official updates come out.
Club names are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2026 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed. It will also fix the fact that the German National team doesn't call up real players. These fixes are all fully save-game compatible.
Follow the below instructions to install this version of this file.
Once you download this file, youβll see these folders after extracting the ZIP:

Wouldn't it be better to leave the competition's original name in the short name, without any sponsors? The short name should be how that competition is commonly known.

Iβve finished creating a Football Manager 26 Real Name Fix Installation Guide with improved formatting, consistent step numbering, and simplified instructions.
The updated version is clear, easy to follow, and ready to be shared. You can copy and paste it directly into a post, blog article, or README file. My goal was to make it easier for users to read and understand, especially for those on Steam, Epic, Game Pass, or Mac.
The guide includes:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using an FM23 or FM24 save in FM26, you must also install this fix in the folders listed below in addition to those mentioned further down in the text:

By Sortitoutsi.net | Works for Steam, Epic, Game Pass & Mac
βοΈ WHAT YOU NEED
π dbcπ editor dataπ edtπ lnc𧩠STEP-BY-STEP INSTALL GUIDE
π₯οΈ FOR WINDOWS (Steam / Epic / Game Pass)
Step 1 β Locate your database folder
Go to your FM26 installation folder, then open the database directory:
Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26\data\database\db\2600Epic: C:\Program Files\Epic Games\FootballManager26\data\database\db\2600Game Pass: C:\XboxGames\Football Manager 26\Content\data\database\db\2600π‘ If you see folders like 2610 or 2620, thatβs your latest patch version - use the newest number instead of 2600.
Step 2 β Delete the old folders
Inside that database folder, delete only these three folders:
π dbcπ edtπ lncβ οΈ Do not delete any others (for example 2600_fm or later patch folders like 2610).
Step 3 β Copy the new folders
From your extracted Real Name Fix, copy the dbc, edt, and lnc folders into the same location.
Your structure should now look like:
...\data\database\db\2600\π dbcπ permanentπ create a club.dbcπ deceased.dbcπ england.dbcπ forbidden names.dbcπ france.dbcπ j league non player.dbcπ melbourne_kit.dbcπ misc.dbcπ netherlands.dbcπ swear_words.dbcπ womens_football.dbcπ bald_people.dbcπ bundesliga_kits.dbcπ havre_kit.dbcπ turkiye.dbcπ edtπ permanentπ alliteration_adjectives.edtπ eng_youth_grades.edtπ future_chairmen.edtπ not_registered.edtπ stadium_templates.edtπ start_in_admin.edtπ sugardaddy.edtπ support_staff.edtπ transfer_embargo.edtπ valid_takeovers_only.edtπ lncπ Awards.lncπ City, Club and Stadium Names.lncπ Competitions and other Fixes.lncStep 4 β Locate your βEditor Dataβ folder
Go to your Documents folder (not your Steam directory):
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\editor dataIf it doesnβt exist, create it manually - name it exactly:
π editor dataStep 5 β Copy the .fmf files
Open the editor data folder from the Real Name Fix download and copy all .fmf files into your own editor data folder.
Example:
...\Football Manager 26\
π editor dataπ FM26 Sortitoutsi Licenses Fix - Ajax staff.fmfπ FM26 Sortitoutsi Licenses Fix - Bookmakers.fmfπ FM26 Sortitoutsi Licenses Fix - Brazilian kit colour changes.fmfπ FM26 Sortitoutsi Licenses Fix - Club Name Changes.fmfπ config.xmlStep 6 β Launch Football Manager 26
Step 7 β Enable the files
When starting a new career:
Step 8 β Finish setup
Choose your leagues, database size, and begin your save.
β οΈ Editor Data Files only apply to new saves - they canβt alter existing careers.
π DONE!
Your Football Manager 26 should now display:
