# Real fixtures and results

> Documentation release: **FMRTE 26** (published release).

Start a new save with a supplied league schedule and recorded results. These files do not rewrite an existing save.

## Choose a compatible file

1. Open [Real Fixtures and Results](https://www.fmrte.com/files/category/53-fm-26/) and choose the nation.
2. Check its divisions, **FM Database Version**, update date and latest included result.
3. Download the files you want to use. A valid FMRTE license is required; it can be from any edition.

## Install and start the savegame

Follow [Installing FMF files](https://docs.fmrte.com/26/graphics-and-files/editor-data.md) to extract the download, place the `.fmf` files in **editor data**, and enable them when starting a new career.

We recommend **Original** game mode.

## Use a custom start date

To take advantage of the included real-life results, you can also install a [Custom Start Date](https://docs.fmrte.com/26/graphics-and-files/custom-start-date.md) file. Follow that page to select the date and understand how the start time affects the results available at the beginning of your save.

The downloaded files are for personal use. Do not redistribute them without permission.
