STAGE THE FIXTURE.
DON’T CONFUSE THE CLOCKS.

The official v26.1.5 release notes name four controls: Stadium, Weather, Fixture Time and Crowd Attendance. They appear under Miscellaneous Features → Match Setup.

Not in the release ledger. CPU vs CPU belongs to the Gameplay group introduced in v26.2.0, alongside never tired players, unlimited substitutions, match time and score. This guide connects the workflow but preserves the product boundary.

Treat them as pre-kickoff conditions: record the fixture baseline, select one override, then enter that fixture and prove the result. Public creator sources do not document one universal apply/reload sequence for every current build.

Fixture Time is a v26.1.5 Match Setup condition before kickoff. Match Time is a v26.2.0 Gameplay control for live match state. They are separate controls and should be tested in separate passes.

The creator README lists “No crowd during matches,” and v26.1.5 names Crowd Attendance. Use the exact value exposed by your current interface. A legacy FC 25 video shows a 0–100 convention, but that does not prove the current FC 26 numeric contract.

A current captioned interface walkthrough visibly cycles through Clear, Partly Clear, Rainy, Snowy and Overcast. Because the official changelog does not publish an enum, use the exact labels shown in your installed version and do not treat this observed list as an API contract.

No current creator source says it does. Match Setup is a fixture-level miscellaneous control. Editing a team’s stadium is a different entity; issue #25 reports that kind of change not saving, but has no maintainer answer and cannot define Match Setup persistence.

First verify the full game/editor pair, the intended fixture and whether you changed the pre-match Match Setup control rather than a team field or live Gameplay control. Return to a clean baseline and test one variable before adding another.

The official score control is listed under v26.2.0 Gameplay, not v26.1.5 Match Setup. Match-fixing an upcoming Career fixture is another feature entirely and has its own workflow.

It is the creator-named v26.2.0 Gameplay option for a CPU-controlled match. Current video walkthroughs show it in the live gameplay group; they do not document every competition or controller edge case.

v26.2.0 officially adds unlimited subs under Gameplay. Use it only in an offline controlled match and verify behavior in the exact competition because no public creator source publishes a competition-by-competition matrix.

Persistence is not documented precisely enough to promise save-level permanence. Treat the controls as runtime/current-fixture overrides until a creator source says otherwise; keep an untouched save or checkpoint and prove the same fixture after relaunch.

No. The official repository says the anticheat bypass is for offline use only. This guide excludes FUT, Clubs and all connected competition.

Match Setup begins in v26.1.5; the live Gameplay group begins in v26.2.0. On 18 August 2026 the live manifest maps FC 26 v1.6.6 build 1.0.139.20381 to Live Editor v26.3.5–v26.3.6, so both groups are present in the current mapped releases.

Record the complete FC26.exe build, Live Editor version, Career/competition and fixture, exact control and visible value, whether it was changed before or during the match, the first failed observable result, relaunch outcome and whether a clean baseline reproduces it.
