Football Manager 2026 Patch 26.3.0 

FM SKIN BUILDER VERSION beta 0.7.0-3

Action Style Facepack 26: www.patreon.com/c/LuckyLukeFM

Total in pack ASF 26 HD: 25622 player + 2482 staff (Updates come out every week on Friday!)

Update 22/04/2026:: Added "Next Match" button to the control menu.

Update 22/04/2026: A photo on the tactics page has been installed for all options. Circles have been removed from scout reports—all photos should now be without circles.Corrected the colors in the main menu. In the previous version, due to experiments, the colors were only white and silver.

Update 13/04/2026: Let your dreams come true, even if they are small. I've finally added Faces to the roster selection table. 

Update 02/04/2026: Several fixes, including interface color during 3D matches. All bundles  created with UABEA are stored in a separate folder. This might be helpful for Mac users.

Update 02/04/2026: The panel for youth teams has been restored. 

Removed some non-working panels. I've tested the skin for compatibility with popular add-ons. All the details are in this short video review.

 

Update 31/03/2026: The skin now works with the latest version of the game. Before installing, be sure to restore the game files. I had a lot of trouble restoring it and adding new features. Player photos are now available in all tactics. Player photos have been added to the 3D match squad panel at the bottom of the screen. The scoreboard is on the left. I restored large photos to the player and staff pop-up panels. Staff photos are now also large and visible correctly.

 

Back to business

 

3D match preview lineup graphics for:

Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, FA CUP, Ligue 1, PKO BP Ekstraklasa, Saudi Pro League, Türkiye Süper Lig

 

The skin can be installed using the program FM Skin Builder. You will be able to create your own colors and much more. https://fmskinbuilder.com/

To build using the program, be sure to download the version of the program that is specified in the skin version. At the moment beta 0.6.2-1

 

You can install it manually by put the files from the folder packages: 

and put them in the folder with the replacement files

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64

 

CAUTION!!!! Make a backup of the original game files!!!!

 

Before installing using FM SKIN BUILDER, I strongly recommend restoring the game files via Steam - delete the folder "backups" and clear the cache.

This is impossible. If it were possible, I would have added it without your requests.

This skin is a thing of beauty!!! I would love it if you could make a version where the faces are smaller when you hover over the “player info” without clicking on the player, as the faces are too zoomed in for cut-out facepack users? But again, best looking skin for FM26 so far, congrats on your superb work

You need to open it in the program and change one parameter. Learn - it won't get any better in the new FM era.

Can this skin be used on a Mac? if so, what are the install instructions please.

The theme is really nice, but wouldn't it be more logical to use black instead of the blue background at the bottom? It would look much better if it were all black instead of blue. Also, you've removed the 2D simulation from the match page; isn't there a possibility of adding it, perhaps in a smaller size? Wouldn't it be better to include a 2D match simulation instead of the match moment or XG graph story?

Open the tile in the program and assemble the one you need. I don't need 2D. I don't see the point in it in 2026. 

Remember, no one will fulfill your wishes - those days are over. There is a tool. It's a 30-minute job. I left all the files open on purpose.

I tinkered with it a bit. I fixed it, thank you. I was a little hesitant because I was afraid I might mess up the game.

Hi,

 

I have been looking for ages but i cannot find what i am looking for. Can you tell me how to change the colour of the background from blue please? And maybe the colour of the panel?

Thanks

This is the best skin by a mile for FM26. I have an issue I am on the mac and re-created through skin builder. All works perfectly except in some of the drop down menus they are blank. For example when choosing a nation England is blank but in the sub menu the leagues are there. I have asked ChatGPT to fix the problem but no luck. I just wondered if anyone had any ideas? I know it's a windows based skin but any help would be most appreciated. There are also some in game drop down menus not all that are blank.

I don't know creator if you saw this post I left yesterday but the update today has fixed the problem I had on the Mac. I now am able to see the Countries and all leagues that were missing. There are still some transparency issues in the drop downs but nothing major. There was an issue with the fixture schedule being blank in-game, but I discovered in 'Styles/Transfermarket/base.uss some colours [3 in total] were set to 0.0 and 0.00. Resetting them to 0.85, 0.20 and 0.08 brought the fixtures back on screen. I have applied some screenshots to look at. But other than that this skin now works perfectly on the Mac built by Skin Builder. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Great job….but…I have downloaded it and followed the instructions and it loads up fine, except I get to the address team page before kick off and I the game gets stuck and although it shows the little hand (sorry technical term) to progress it doesn't allow me to press space back or click the button?

 

Using this on a MacBook btw.

ASF skin FM26 Patch 26.1.3 Update 17.02.2026

Update 17.02.2026: Thanks to incredible help MW90, we were able to display the player photos properly, without cropping or enlarging them, which would otherwise blur the image. And the gentleman (sic) showed me how to make beautiful switches instead of dots. Small details are pleasing to the eye.

Looks nice but the latest update for the player photos is unfortunely not working on a Mac. I have read the instructions and did the files manualy in the folder.
