Sports Interactive has rolled out a new hotfix for the Football Manager 26 Advanced Access Beta, addressing a wide range of stability and interface issues reported since launch. The update, version 26.0.0.2226107, is now live on both Steam and Epic Games Store, and will download automatically after launching the game.
The latest patch includes numerous crash fixes, improvements to Squad and Recruitment screens, and adjustments to key interface elements such as captain icons and player stats panels. It also resolves several transfer and search-related bugs while polishing up the in-match tactical experience. Further updates are planned for later this week, continuing Sports Interactive’s rapid post-launch support for the FM26 Beta.
Below is a list of the patch notes for update version 26.0.0.2226107.
