Today we are proud to present the FM26 Pre-Match lineup graphics by FM Malteser – a FM26 mod that enhance the experience within your FM26 game world! After the release of FM26 Material skin, we got a new FM26 Mod to showcase!
After the release of Football Manager 26, the FM Community has really stepped up making one mod after another that significantly add more immersion and better realism to the game. So far, FM26 seems to become the most mod-able FM game ever released with both stadium packs in the making and several of other match day additions already out!
Whilst the match experience is wonderful in Football Manager with both new cut scenes and other minor additions to make you feel you’re watching a TV Match, FM Malteser and LuckyLukeFM has come together to create a FM26 Matchday lineup graphics pack that improves the experience of managing in FM’s unlicensed leagues.
In this FM26 mod pack you’ll get both pre-match lineup packs, in-match league tables for sixteen different leagues across Europe, as well as an import tool – making you able to incorporate these graphics without having to manually install them!
Whilst the pre-match lineup graphics pack was created by FM Malteser, the import tool by Lucky Luke FM enables you to easily apply new versions of match line-ups to Football Manager 26.
Once downloaded and applied, here’s a quick overview of how the FM26 Matchday graphics may appear in Football Manager.
Currently there are sixteen leagues across 9 different nations but the pack may be updated with more leagues and nations included.
Italy:
- Serie A Enilive
- Serie BKT
- Serie C Sky Wifi
Spain:
- LaLiga EA Sports
- La Liga Hypermotion
France:
- Ligue 1 McDonald’s
- Ligue 2 BKT
- Championnat National
Poland:

Malta:
- Yo Health Malta Premier League
England:
- Emirates FA Cup
Scotland:
- William Hill Premiership
Türkiye:
- Trendyol Super Lig
Netherlands:

With this mod downloaded and applied, you’ll experience that the game is updated with new pre-match line-ups and league tables featuring the logo of the league and the TV broadcaster.
If you’re managing in England, these lineups will only take affect in the Emirates FA Cup. Managing in any nations outside the included leagues means you’ll be using the default line-ups made by Sports Interactive.
