A free Master League companion for Football Life 2026 and 2027. It runs in its own window beside the game, reads your career save and builds the world around it.

What it does

Stories, player messages and press questions that arrive as your career moves on
Players with opinions, a board with a memory, and staff you hire and manage
Sponsors, player bonuses and staff wages settled against your real transfer and salary budgets, with one switch to turn it off
Form arcs and long-term coaching that make small, earned changes in the running game
Reads your save and never edits it; Football Life still writes it itself

Before you install

Football Life 2026 or 2027. Live features need FL26 version 1.4 or FL27; other versions still get everything built from your save.

A free Become a Legend companion for Football Life 2026. You create your player — background, family, ambitions — and Prologue reads your save and tells the career around them.

What it does

The press, sponsors and the national team, reacting to how your career goes
Club and national rankings, the game’s individual awards, and every honour your player wins
Small attribute boosts from training, sponsors and honours, written only to your own player, never more than ±3 at a time and read back afterwards
Reads your save and never edits it; Football Life still writes it itself

A standalone menu theme for Football Life 2026 in charcoal, silver and champagne, with Touchline and Prologue branding, portrait main-menu scenes and the Touchline intro movie. It changes how the game’s menus look, and works with or without either app.

What setup changes

Checks every file in the package before installing anything
Backs up whatever it replaces; the uninstaller puts it back
Turns on one LiveCPK folder and one colour script in Sider
Switches off, without deleting, older menu packs and UIColors if you have them, so nothing loads twice

Install guide SHA-256 checksums

Includes fonts and menu assets by MenuC1987 and the UIColors script by Zlac. Use one menu theme at a time: other menu mods can override the same files.

Standalone mods

Smaller, single-purpose mods for Football Life 2026. Each works on its own, without Touchline or Prologue, and downloads from its public GitHub release.

Squad mod

FL26 Classic Players Mod 1.0.0

Download v1.0.0

Windows · Python 3.10+ · 113 KB · Install guide

Moves 399 players from the game’s classic teams into club squads, each to a club from his own career, with an age worked out from his birth date. Preview every move first: applying backs up your original files, verify checks the result and revert restores them.

Needs Python 3.10 or later on PATH. Close the game and keep the Legends/Classics switch off. Career lists are curated and incomplete, and revert restores whole files, so it can undo later edits or game updates.

Neither app is code-signed, so Windows may say it “protected your PC.” Choose More info, then Run anyway, or check the zip against its published SHA-256 checksum first.
