FAQ
Where should I extract files?
You can extract them anywhere on your computer. Just make sure `fm26-bootpack.exe` and the `Collections` folder stay together in the same directory.
Is FM26 Bootpack free to use?
FM26 Bootpack tool is completely free to download and use. "Free Collection - (adidas Copa Pure II.1, Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 15 Elite Blast, Puma King Ultimate Art of Football, Skechers SKX_01 Low Prime, Under Armour Clone Magnetico Pro 3.0)" is available at no cost, unlocking all boot collections require a one-time license purchase.
Can I customize my players' boots?
Boots are assigned randomly (will change every game), it was hardcoded by SI. But we may have a workaround this year since Unity has more capabilities in terms of "bending the rules".
Is macOS supported?
Yes!
How does the automatic update system work?
If a new version is available, you'll see a notification at the top with a "Download Update" button. To access the latest boot collections, you must download and use the newest version, older versions won't show recently added collections even if they're available.
Can I install boots one by one, but not in collections?
Unlike FM24 which allowed individual boot selection, FM26 uses collections as pre-configured sets of boots. I'm investigating possible workarounds for individual boot selection, but for now, collections are the only installation method available.
Can I create custom collections?
I'm taking suggestions for which boots should be added in future updates. A Discord channel is currently work in progress, where you'll be able to request specific boots to be included in new collections.
I'm getting a Windows Defender warning. Did I just install a virus?
Windows Defender shows this warning because the executable is not digitally signed with a certificate. This is NOT a virus, it's a standard Windows security measure for unsigned applications from independent developers. To run the tool, click "More info" in the warning dialog, then click "Run anyway" when it appears. FM26 Bootpack is safe to use.

Hey, what's your os version? I'll check.
benithemaker
Thank you! I think we have a conflict with Premier League ball. Is it EPL, right? I'm on it.
benithemaker
Hi, thank you! The limit is five, and unfortunately SI hardcoded that rule, including the boot limit and the collection logic. If you have specific boots you’d like to suggest, please join our Discord.
kristijanz1209
Yes exactly the English Premier League
benithemaker
Okay, thanks for reporting. The bug hunt has just begun. 🙂
benithemaker
Also, Intel or Silicon?
Fhran11
That's a shame! Isn't there a way to change the encoding number to a higher one or activate two packs at the same time? By the way, I've joined the Discord server, I'm Fran_onze
Lee Roots
When trying to open a boot pack in the exe, I'm constantly receiving messages saying instal directory set to ‘named folder', but none of the boots are loading for me to then click ‘install collection’. What am I missing, please?

I'm stuck on macOS permissions. I tried pressing Enter, but it still doesn't work like in your video clip.
How do I fix this?
Karan Pursnani
I keep getting permission denied, how do I get past it
benithemaker
Fyi guys, I'll release the fixed version for macOS (Intel) users soon. If you don't want to wait please download it manually from here: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/lj7gtv0q9ite672/FM26_Bootpack_v2.0.1.zip/file

I downloaded the last version 2.0.1 for Mac. Went on the terminal it worked, paid the premium pack and now that I want to install it doesnt work. When I manually authorize the app to run on my mac and give acces to my folders it says that I have to quit and re-launch. When I did (again and again) nothing worked “Permission denied”. Someone help me please 😢
Felipe Moller
Here I have the same problem in MacOs. I tryed to get permission, allowed and its retry and retry and never works.
Boberto
Hi. I have started getting this message when i try and install a pack.
benithemaker
It says it’s a DNS error, so the issue is on MediaFire’s end. The links haven’t changed, so I’d suggest waiting.
gorillawahala
When I put the fix into terminal I get the below as a response… :')
“zsh: permission denied: /Users/xx/Downloads/FM26_Bootpack_v2.0.0/FM26_Bootpack_v2.0.0-macOS/fix-permissions.sh”
benithemaker
Yeah, Intel Macs give this error. Please try this version: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/lj7gtv0q9ite672/FM26_Bootpack_v2.0.1.zip/file
Abraham N'guessan
Hey, is it gonna be possible at some point to pick the boots to make our own collections like it was possible to do on fm24
Tenmaar
No reply for us ? How can we fix this ?
benithemaker
Most Mac users were able to get it working, so I'm not sure what the issue is. It must be related to your security preferences.
benithemaker
Methods have changed, so I don't think it's possible anymore.
Tenmaar
I saw a lot of Mac users struggling with it also. I've recorded my screen so you can see whats happening

I am on a M1 Pro and i get permission denied on the terminal
Hi! First of all, amazing job, benithemaker. With this boots, game looks more realistic and enjoyable.
So, my question is, as you said previously that we can't make our own collection of the boots as it was in FM24, maybe do us a favor and make colection with 5 pair of the most famous boots models? For example: Adidas Predator, Adidas X, Nike Mercurial, Puma Future, Under Armour, something like that. Because, basically, this brands are most useful by the players right now.
Once again, thanks for your work!
Hi Ben! Does your boots for FM24 is still available to buy somehow? Because link from lemon squeezy doesn't work anymore.
benithemaker
Hi, could you try this: https://benithemaker.lemonsqueezy.com/buy/9a83163e-5028-4ff5-a093-2050459ce093
Yes, it works. Thanks.

Hi, thank you for your hard work! Really appreciate it.
I just paid for the license and it works fine when I'm paying the men's league. But when I apply the pack when playing the women's league, all the female players are wearing purple boots that are not in the boot pack I selected. I notice someone mention this issue a month or so ago. May I know if there will be an update coming to fix this issue? Thank you for your help!
