Manager Career Mode is set to receive several additions in FC 26. The center of it all is said to be Manager Live Career. Billed as "a dynamic hub filled with ever-changing challenges," it'll introduce plenty of real-life-inspired and otherwise objectives and challenges to the mode with new seasons.
It is similar to Live Start Point, introduced last year. With Live Start Point, you get a bite-sized career experience where you can start your career based on real-life football standings.
All that said, below is everything you need to know about Manager Challenges, including Historical Achievements in FC 26.
All FC 26 Manager Challenges Types
In FC 26 Career Mode, there are different types of challenges that'll be added throughout the year. Some of them are regular objectives, while others are based on real-life events:
Midseason Scenarios
Midseason scenarios use Live Start Points to deliver Challenges at any gameweek of the season.
Examples:
- Derby Drama: Manage a team in a high-stakes derby match, such as El Clásico, Der Klassiker, or the North London Derby.
- Shock of the Week: Relive a giant-killing FA Cup result and replicate the upset.
Dynamic Scenarios
Dynamic scenarios adapt to real-world football events or trends, and they consist of:
- Proactive Scenarios: Released before upcoming events (e.g., title deciders, derbies) so you can pick a side and play out the future.
- Reactive Scenarios: Released after recent events (e.g., shock wins, dramatic comebacks) so you can change history.
Examples:
- European Royalty: Take control of one of the teams in the upcoming UEFA Champions League Play-offs and guide them to glory.
- Late Scramble: Recreate an iconic against-all-odds victory and use it as motivation for the rest of the season.
Time-Limited Challenges
Some Challenges are only available for a limited time, allowing us to continually release new challenges and keep the Hub evolving. Expiry time is visible from inside the Hub.
Examples:
- Seasonal Challenge: Complete a festive-themed Challenge during the Holiday season to earn exclusive holiday kits.
- Event-Based Challenge: Take on a Challenge inspired by a real-world derby match before it expires.
Historical Achievements
Historical Achievements are challenges that'll have you recreate iconic moments from football history through scenarios.
Examples:
- Invincibles Challenge: Go unbeaten in the league with Juventus or Bayer Leverkusen.
- Treble Triumph: Win the league, domestic cup, and Champions League in a single season with PSG or Manchester City.
Most challenges will have multiple objectives that you can complete. Like Jude's Double challenge that'll require you to win La Liga and have Jude Bellingham in your starting eleven 25 times as a separate objective.
There will be a dedicated Challenge Details screen in the Objectives section in Office to help you keep track of all this. Some challenges will also have different limiters or parameters that restrict certain features like Icons or Manager Market.
That's everything about the manager challenges in FC 26.
