Known Issues
- Very small chance in the 2026 season one competition may not finish in time for season update day, FIX: make sure you have a save in every may and if it happens the fixture will 99/100 finish in time, annoying but very minor.
- Crash on Jan 31st, not a database issue with this file and reloading save should fix it.
All graphical files like 2D and 3D kits for all div 4-6 teams are on the Football Manager Japan discord as well as a place to provide any bug reports or anything else related to Japan.

Same issue here. The dates are incorrect on the transfer windows/registration periods (at least from JFL down the pyramid) from the 2026 season onwards. They still appear set to the year previous. The league dates are correct but it seems the transfer window/registration periods haven't been updated to the new calendar so now the 2026/27 window ends in March for an August start date meaning players can't be registered then until the following season. Makes it kind of unusable. Is there a workaround for this @Footygamer ?
mcintinhos
This is the issue @Footygamer - every season after the first there is only one transfer window (from Feb-April) and one resulting registration period. I also noticed in the editor that the file you created has only four divisions of ten that are verified meaning we can't make changes manually to the save. Is there any way you can fix this issue with the windows so that we can use your amazing work in setting this all up?

I'm having this error…. is there a fix to this or do I need to restart the game?
SidYang7
My in game date is Aug 2027… The J1 league schedule has not updated for 2027/2028. Have you got to the point where J1,2 and 3 restarted for you (like the Feb date you mentioned) ? I've only got the AFC scheduled up…

Oh, so there is no special ‘100 year tournament’ in game like in real life for 2026 (January-May) ?
mariobario
Any chances for 26.2 update?
Renan Islas
I'm rooting for that too.
LBOW6
Slightly off topic but can anyone find the new Kyoto signing in game at his original club?
