Download and Install Tactics
Head to our Tactics section and from there, scroll through until you find the tactic you want to download.
Move the downloaded file to your Tactics folder (if it doesn't exist you have to create it):
- Windows: ‘\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26\tactics’
- Mac: '/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 26/tactics'
Load the Tactic In-game
Head to Match Day → Tactics → and if it's the first time select any setup In and Out of Possession
Now that your Tactics Planner is visible you can click the arrow next to the current Tactic and Load the downloaded one

Hi, the final tactics folder is missing for Windows.

If you watch the video it states you might need to make the folder.

I don`t have the Hide folder and the Confing file in the Tatics Folder.

How do you make the folder?
Flying Scotsman
The hide folder is just my own personal tactics I am testing so you wont have it

In The FM26 folder right click and click new folder.
Name it tactics.

Hi TFS
I have followed your advice, but I still cannot see the tactics in the drop-down box on the game.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

The tactics files need to be INSIDE the tactics folder

Hi TFS, the tactics are in the right place but when i go to load tactics i choose the tactic i want to load and then it says “ the file could not be imported ”

I have no idea why the instructions say to add a graphics folder. Don't do that.
Add a tactics folder to Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 26, and place the tactic in there.

I am using the PC Game Pass version. I have created my tactics folder in Users/name/sports interactive/foot ball manager 26 but the game just won't find it.
Is there somewhere else to install for PC Game Pass?

I created the tactics file (which didn't exist). I put an .fmf file in it, but the game's "Local" folder remains empty.
Please Help ! 😉

I'm having the same issues as many above - downloading and adding to the folder yet doesn't appear when I go to upload? Thanks

You guys have to add “.fmf” at the end of the name of the tactic. (not the folder, the blank one)
