Football Life 26 is a [[Football|football]] that uses [[Pro Evolution Soccer 21|PES 21]] as its base game and includes a huge collection of mods to make it up to date to 2026. It is a huge community effort, and it is available for free online. [FL 26](https://www.pessmokepatch.com/2025/10/spfl26.html) is installed by simply downloading a multi-file RAR file and extracting it, running the installer with the desired destination. The main issue is that all of the assets require a lot of free space, so there are two add-ons that are downloaded separately: - The [real faces](https://www.pessmokepatch.com/2025/10/faces2627.html), which includes scanned faces from other games to be up-to-date. - Extra [stadiums](https://www.pessmokepatch.com/2024/11/siderstadiums.html), since the original patch includes only 32 stadiums. It is important to take into account that advanced customisation each game is done via [[Sider for Pro Evolution Soccer|Sider]], so [learning to use it](https://www.pessmokepatch.com/p/sider-functions.html) (it is not easily discoverable in-game) can be useful.
