FM27 "Increase-Realism"-Megapack NOVEMBER BETA (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the first FM27 Increase Realism Megapack update! A warm welcome to everyone who has recently joined, and thank you to everyone who continues to support my work :)

The first BETA is now available, earlier than originally planned! For ALPHA users: there were no changes compared to the BETA

First things first: I genuinely appreciate your support. It allows me to keep working on this project, test improvements and invest in its development. I’m convinced that we’ll reach a whole new level of realism in FM27, and this first update already represents a major step in that direction.

What is included?

The first update contains worldwide league expansion for the 2026/27 season.

Together with the leagues already available in the base game, you can select 196 nations with a total of 319 playable leagues.

The expansion adds 137 additional playable nations across all six confederations, alongside Lowe r leagues in England and Germany.

England: Playable down to Level 8, including the Regional First Divisions.

Germany: Playable down to Level 4, including the Regionalliga.

Installation instructions

1. Prepare your editor data folder

Close FM27 and remove previous Megapack files and other database files from its editor data folder. Keep any backups outside this folder to avoid loading old or duplicate files.

2. Download and extract the Alpha

Extract the downloaded archive and copy the included .fmf files directly into the editor data folder, not the archive or its parent folder.

Windows:
Open Documents → Sports Interactive → your FM27 folder → editor data.

Mac:
In Finder, select Go → Go to Folder, enter ~/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/, then open your FM27 folder → editor data.

Create the editor data folder if it does not exist. Use the folder belonging to FM27, not your previous Football Manager installation.

3. Start a new career

Start FM27, create a new career and open the Editor Data Files selection during database setup. These files need to be selected before creating the save; copying them into the folder does not update an existing career.

A note about the Alpha

This is the first Alpha version, so further adjustments and fixes may follow until Early Access and public release.

Updated release schedule

• Alpha: 30 October — available now

• Beta: planned - available now

• Early Access: planned for 13 November

• Public Release: planned for 27 November — free for everyone

Access to the Alpha, Beta and Early Access versions depends on your Patreon membership tier.

Membership prices and annual discount

My regular Patreon membership prices remain exactly the same as last year. There is no price increase this year either.

There is also a limited-time offer of 27% off annual Patreon memberships, available until 14 November. It should help you to save a good amount of money if you're planning to support my work during the whole cicle and I get some planning security in terms of hardware investments for quicker simulations and better quality work:)

Personal use only — please do not redistribute

These files are intended for your personal use only. Please do not share them with other people, upload them elsewhere or include them in other downloadable packs.

Your support provides the financial resources that allow me to keep this project going. That includes investing in hardware, running tests and continuing to develop the Megapack.

Redistributing the files takes away those resources and directly affects my ability to keep investing in the project.

(And, quite simply, it is also a lack of respect for the work behind it.)

Thank you very much for respecting this and for supporting my work. I genuinely appreciate it.

Additional content which is focused on my realism fixes is planned for December.

And now, enjoy!

Cheers,
David


Known issues:

When setting up your save, some leagues start in 2027 or 2028 instead of 2026 if you're using the start date in that nation. Solution is simple: Just load another nation with the correct start date and it works fine. I'll fix this once the PGE is available. I hope to get it done until Early-Access drops
