Football Manager 26 is going to receive plenty of updates as part of the Advanced Access beta that's currently available to users on Steam, but you'll need to access the Public Beta to enjoy them.
The current state of the game is pretty rough to say the least. Sports Interactive has at least three updates planned (starting Oct. 28). However, you'll have to switch to the Public Beta to enjoy the tweaks.
This guide will help you get access to the Football Manager 26 Public Beta on Steam.

How to access Football Manager 26 Public Beta
As of writing, the Public Beta version has yet to be made available to the audience. However, knowing the steps will be immensely helpful if you're struggling to enjoy the game.
- Open your Steam library.
- Go to Football Manager 26 and open properties.
- Scroll down to the beta tab on your left.
- You'll see that there's no beta to participate.
- You'll need the code to activate the Public Beta.
- The code is yet to be shared by Sports Interactive and will be available once the first update is live.
- Once you confirm, your version of Football Manager will change to the Public Beta.
After you input the code, your game will have the "private_beta – Invitation Only". The beta will be separate from the base version of the game, and will download on its own. It should also automatically download all future updates that Sports Interactive will push out before the full launch on Nov. 4.
Can you use your old save in the Football Manager 26 Public Beta
You can keep using your old save and continue with it on the Public Beta. Any change that doesn't require a new save should automatically reflect in the game. You can also choose to continue the save with the full version later in November.
