Football Manager 2024: How To Add Real Kits

Last updated:

Football Manager 2024 brings Sports Interactive’s football sim monolith closer to the real game than ever before, especially when it comes to licensing. The Champions League license being in the air gives it a huge amount of gravitas and there are more licensed teams with their actual kits in FM than in any previous year. However, you’re still going to need to download and install your own Football Manager 24 kit packs.

FM kit packs are a rite of passage, a tradition for Football Manager fans each year. Due to licensing issues, your favourite clubs likely won’t have its real kit in the game, but that’s where the community steps in with kit packs to help you bring a bit of authenticity. And they’re super easy to install and setup too, no coding or modding knowledge required. Simply download the pack, fiddle with some files, and you’re playing with authentic kits in Football Manager 2024.

If you’re looking for an extra air of authenticity for Football Manager this year, here are the best FM 24 kit packs as well as instructions on how to enable them.
