Football Manager rule files for CONCACAF v26.3
In this package, you will find rule files for CONCACAF Member Nations.
I did my best to use realistic formats for all the leagues that are included. The rule files contain:
- real divisions and cups with real formats from 2025/26
- teams from the 2025/26 season
- all nations have transfer windows, registration periods, tv dates, match rules, prize money - when I was able to find this in my online research
Compatibility
- FM Database 26.2.0 (only)

The rule files are free, but every tip will greatly improve my motivation to provide updates and other federations, because I spent a great deal of free time researching and editing. So if you really enjoy the rule files, then every small contribution is greatly appreciated.

How to install
Copy the .fmf files for the nations you want into "Editor Data" folder. This folder can be different depending on where you got the game or what system you have. I am assuming you know where this folder is. If not, check other sources on where you can locate it for your setup.
Please remove any older files so that you do not have multiple versions for the same country.
Also, it is better to have the checkbox "add players to playable teams" checked. Otherwise you may end up with a lot of greyed-out non-database players.
Testing
all rules files have been tested by me in the editor and in the actual game (unemployed mode)
of course, it is possible that there are issues and mistakes in the rule files. If you find an issue, you can contact me by E-Mail.

[Cup] CONCACAF Caribbean Cup (*REPLACED)
[Cup] Caribbean Club Shield (*ADDED)
- I have recreated the CONCACAF Club Competitions because the in-game versions had some issues. Here is a list of what my version (should) fix:
- Finalists from Caribbean Club Shield qualify for Caribbean Cup
- Central American Cup no longer has a host nation and this fixes schedule issues with central american leagues (e.g. Costa Rica, Honduras,...)
- Countries that played the previous final of the Central American Cup, get extra berths for the competition
- Canadian Championship uses correct qualifier teams from League1 Canada (when using my Canada file)
- No coefficients are used, because unfortunately this seems not to work in FM26 for North America
- WARNING: Since this file replaces all the in-game CONCACAF competitions, there is a chance that it may not work well together with other editor files or other in-game competitions (though I must say, the in-game version is a poor implementation). Please be aware of the risk. I have designed the rules so they work with my rule files for each country and I recommend to use that setup. If you wish to use this file together with files from other editors, please do some tests before starting the save to observe the behaviour.
- NOTE: there is a helper competition called "CONCACAF Continental Competitions". This is not a real competition, but only contains stages to setup the qualified teams for Central American and Caribbean Cups. (I left it visible so that I could analyze it in case of issues).
