Football Manager 26: In-Game Editor

The downloadable content pack titled Football Manager 26 In-Game Editor was developed by Sports Interactive and released in 2025, alongside the base game Football Manager 26. The publisher is SEGA. The base game was released for multiple platforms, including Windows and macOS, and this editor DLC is specifically designed to work within the same ecosystem.

This DLC functions as an add-on rather than a standalone product, meaning it requires the base game to operate. It has not been released as a separate port for consoles or other platforms, serving purely as a complement to the primary edition of the game.

The In-Game Editor gives players a real-time customization tool to reshape their management experience. Users can adjust player profiles, including attributes and potential ability, manage transfers in and out of clubs, and modify club finances or reputation. The editor is accessible only when a save game is loaded, allowing managers broad control over the football universe within their ongoing games.

Promotion for the editor was tied to the launch of Football Manager 26, highlighting its flexibility and power. Early user reception, however, was largely negative, with many players finding the tool confusing, missing expected features, or malfunctioning. While the concept of the editor was appealing in theory, its execution received significant criticism from the community at the time of release.
