On the same day Football Manager 2026 Beta dropped, the team at FM Kit Creator has already launched full support for the new game.
FM Kit Creator Updated for Football Manager 2026
FM26 introduces a new 3D kit model and updated texture, and the creator tool has been adapted to match. Both 2D and 3D kits have been successfully tested with the FM26 Beta. Though users may notice a small visual bug in the locker room preview, kits display correctly during gameplay.
New Football Manager 26 Kit Model
The new Football Manager 26 kit texture is totally new from the layout, and has been quadrupled in size - it now has a resolution of 2048x2028, compared to 1024x1024 before. We have been told by the guys of fmkitcreator.com that there are some flaws with the new 3D model, e.g., a low quality of the polygons, resulting in bad visuals (see the collar, for example).
To install kits, simply drop the downloaded folder into `Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 26/graphics` (create the folder if needed). Remember: you’ll need to restart the game after adding kits, as reloading graphics in-game is not yet possible.
By default, FM26 mode is now active on FM Kit Creator, but you can still switch between FM24 and FM26 in the dropdown menu.
