Soccer Manager 2026’s Biggest Update is Live!

The biggest update in the Soccer Manager yearly calendar - the winter transfer update - is now live across Android, iOS, and Steam! This update features most of the latest transfer action, along with a whole host of other new features, improvements, and bugfixes to sweeten the deal.

The headline feature of version 3.3.1 is the update to transfers. Many leagues have had their data updated from soccerwiki.org, meaning that teams are now up-to-date with the transfers of the last month. Some leagues, particularly those whose windows closed later, will be updated at a later date, so keep an eye out for more announcements on that!

As well as updating transfer data, we have also brought plenty of new features and quality-of-life improvements to the table. For the first time ever, we have added a save file recovery tool to the game. This means that if something goes wrong with your long-running career, the game will be able to attempt to get you back up and running and prevent the loss of your progress. We have also spruced up inbox messages for transfers and international games to improve the immersive experience that Soccer Manager is famed for.

There are other tweaks and fixes throughout the game too that improve the overall experience. You can now search for "Both" footed players, see the completion date of your facilities on the overview screen, and we've fixed as many bugs as we could.

You can find a full list of additions, changes, and fixes down below:

ADDED

- Updated transfer data for many of the most popular leagues around the world. *Please note that certain windows that closed later (such as Turkey) will be updated in a future version.*

- Introduced a recovery tool for corrupted save files. If your save file is broken, this will attempt to revert to an earlier version of the save.

- Added pre-match previews to international games.

CHANGED

- Inbox messages for receiving transfer offers have been improved and made more engaging.

- It is now possible to search for "Both"-footed players.

- The overview of the facilities screen now shows you the completion date of any facility upgrades that are currently in-progress.

- Club badges now appear on transfer and shortlist screens.

- Your user ID will now display on loading screens to assist with identifying issues when contacting support.

- Improved the signposting around continental competition prize money.

- It is now possible to sign players from direct rivals, provided the offer is high enough.

FIXED

- Fixed an issue where youth players would not develop as fast as expected.

- Various backend improvements and fixes to facilities.

- Resolved an issue where the preseason results from a previous save could replace ongoing results in a different save.

- The newsfeed will no longer appear blank for some new users.

- Fixed a text overlap on a player's chemistry on a scout report.

- Players will no longer be unhappy at being transfer listed when they have asked to leave.

- Various crash & other minor bugfixes.

As you can see, it's quite the list! Soccer Manager 2026 update 3.3.1 is available NOW across all of our usual platforms - we hope you enjoy it!
