GAME
A Football Manager Pro season is 60 matchdays, every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. 34 of them are league games. Cup ties, European nights, free weeks and the season finale fill the rest.
Every country has a first, second and third division of 18 teams. The table shows points, goals and the places that mean champion, international qualification, promotion, playoff or relegation. At season end, neighbours play a two-legged relegation playoff: typically 16th in the higher division against 3rd in the lower one. Level aggregates can go to extra time and penalties.
Yellow cards are counted per competition. In the league, the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th yellow card each bring a one-match league ban. A second yellow is one match. A straight red is two to four league matches. A league ban does not block the cup or international games.
The national cup is a knockout, from the first round to the final. Both clubs receive the round prize. The winner also receives a winner bonus. Round prizes are 100,000, then 200,000, 300,000, 400,000, 500,000 and 600,000 in the final, plus 600,000 for the winner. Cup yellows are separate: a ban on the 2nd, 4th and 6th yellow.
The Champions League, Europa League and Conference League each take 64 teams, with a group stage and knockout rounds. Spots depend on the country coefficient and league position. One club plays only one of the three.
| Competition | Group, per match | Final appearance | Winner bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Champions League | 50,000 | 1,000,000 | 1,000,000 |
| Europa League | 40,000 | 700,000 | 700,000 |
| Conference League | 30,000 | 400,000 | 500,000 |
International yellows are a third counter, shared by all three cups. Bans fall on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and so on up to the 17th yellow. The accumulation resets after the group stage and again after the semi-final ties.
The Champions League winner and the Europa League winner enter the next Champions League regardless of league place. The Conference League winner enters the Europa League. The national cup winner can receive an extra Conference League place if the club is not already in the Champions League or Europa League.
The coefficient measures how all clubs from one country do in the three international cups over five seasons. It is not your club alone, and the national cup does not count. From season 5, that ranking sets the next season’s spots.
| Ranking | Champions League | Europa League | Conference League |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–8 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 9 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| 10 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| 11 and below | 1 | 1 | 1 |
No competitive game on a matchday? Arrange a friendly. It doesn’t touch the table. Your players gain experience, you can try out a formation, and gate receipts are split 50/50. A small stadium often earns more away at a large ground. At home, a high first-division side draws a better crowd. See stadium income.
Rules that change a lot are kept short in the in-game FAQ. The numbers here match that FAQ as of October 2026.
