One of the smaller but surprisingly noticeable changes in Football Manager 26 is the removal of the in-game screenshot shortcut. For years, FM players relied on a quick keypress to capture player profiles, match stats, youth intakes and tactical screens. Now that FM26 no longer includes this feature, many players are unsure how to document their saves the way they used to.
The good news is that both Windows and macOS have built-in screenshot tools that work perfectly for FM26. Whether you want to track a young prospect, record a tactical masterclass or share a big win on social media, these tools make it easy to capture whatever you need.
