If you watched the series and fancied managing with a moustache and a biscuit in hand, this one is for you. The Ted Lasso skin for FM26 dresses the game in dark blue, inspired by the series, and was made by DaveHouto, the same author behind the TSO and The Dark Passenger skins.
The author has also updated it since the release on the SI forum. Version 2.1, from 19 September 2026, adds borders around tiles, stadium images on several pages and the TV logo on the match day screen.

What the Ted Lasso skin brings
- A dark blue theme throughout the game, instead of FM26’s purple.
- Borders around tiles, which help separate the information.
- Stadium images on several pages, including the portal and match day.
- TV logo on the match day screen, for a broadcast feel.
- Larger kits on the club page.
- Plus several small improvements across the screens.
The screenshots show an Athletic Club save, but the club colours naturally adapt to the team you manage.

Who it is for
First, it is for fans of the series who want a save with a different feel. It also suits anyone who finds FM26’s purple tiring and prefers a darker, more sober tone. There is one important limitation: it only works on Windows. A Mac player asked on the forum whether it could be adapted, but the author explained he does not have a Mac and so cannot test it.
