Play Football Manager 2024/25 starting in 2025. The Future Start Date Database lets you fast forward FM24/25 Update one year to start in 2025 and play with real dates, real results and real squads.
How does it work?
When you use this file the game will have a new playable nation called "sortitoutsi Custom Start Date".
This will let you start in May 2025. All the real fixtures will be filled in so you should have real league fixtures.
However cup fixtures may not always work properly, this is a limitation of Football Manager itself and not something we can fix.
If you combine it with our Data Update then all real world transfers will have happened as well.
