- No paid DLC facepacks exist for FM27 Mobile — beware of scams
What Are Facepacks and Logopacks in FM27 Mobile?
A facepack is a collection of player portrait images that replace generated silhouette avatars with real photographs or custom renders. A logopack does the same for club and competition badges, replacing generic shields with authentic crests. Together, these graphics packs are among the most popular ways longtime Football Manager players customize their saves.
In Football Manager 27 Mobile, the situation differs from the PC version. Because FM27 Mobile is distributed exclusively through Netflix Games, the game is a closed app-store build rather than an open installation folder. That changes how — and whether — custom graphics can be installed.
At launch, FM27 Mobile ships with an updated licensed database covering real player names and many club licenses, as documented on the official Football Manager site. However, licensing gaps (particularly around certain player photos and national team badges) are a long-standing reality of the series, which is why players ask about add-on packs every year.
| Pack Type | What It Replaces | Default in FM27 Mobile |
|---|---|---|
| Facepack | Player silhouettes with real photos | Licensed faces for many, not all players |
| Logopack | Generic club badges with real crests | Licensed logos for covered clubs/leagues |
| Competition Pack | Generic competition logos | Selected licensed competitions |
| Kit Pack | Blank kits with real strips | Simplified kit graphics |
There is no official paid facepack or logopack DLC for FM27 Mobile. Any website selling "FM27 Mobile facepack subscriptions" is not affiliated with Sports Interactive or Sega.
Can You Install Custom Graphics? Current Status
The honest answer as of November 2026: official custom graphics support for FM27 Mobile has not been confirmed by Sports Interactive. On PC, facepacks are dropped into a graphics folder inside the game directory. A Netflix-distributed mobile app does not expose a user-accessible file structure in the same way, so the classic manual install method may not apply.
Historically, the mobile FM titles have not supported third-party graphics packs, while the PC versions have a thriving add-on scene hosted on the Sports Interactive community forums. Whether FM27 Mobile opens this up will depend on post-launch updates — the developers have stated that feature requests from players directly shape later patches.
Follow the official Football Manager news page and the SI community forums. If custom graphics support is added, it will be announced there first — and our update notes tracker will cover it.

| SI Community Forums | High | Home of the official add-on scene |
| FMScout / Passion4FM | Medium-High | Longtime pack creators, verify FM27 Mobile tags |

How Facepack and Logopack Installs Work (If Supported)
If Sports Interactive enables custom graphics in FM27 Mobile — or if you also play the PC edition — the standard installation workflow looks like this. The exact folder path will be published on the SI forums once confirmed for the mobile build.
Download From a Trusted Source
Get your facepack or logopack from the SI community forums or a reputable FM site. Check the pack is labeled for the FM27 database and read the pack's thread for known issues.
Extract the Archive
Packs usually arrive as ZIP or RAR files. Extract them and confirm the folder structure contains a graphics subfolder with faces or logos directories inside.
Place Files in the Correct Folder
Copy the extracted folder into the game's graphics directory. On PC this lives inside Documents/Sports Interactive; on mobile, follow the official path if one is provided.
Enable Graphics in Settings
In FM titles, you typically need to untick "Use caching to decrease page loading times" and tick "Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences" so new images appear.
Verify In-Game
Open a squad or club screen and confirm photos and crests display. If images are missing, re-check the folder nesting — incorrect subfolders are the most common cause of blank graphics.
Facepacks use the player's unique ID as the filename. Packs built for older databases may show wrong or missing faces after squad data updates, so always grab the version matching your current game database.

FAQ
Q: Does Football Manager 27 Mobile support facepacks and logopacks at launch?
Sports Interactive has not confirmed custom graphics support for the Netflix-exclusive FM27 Mobile build. The game ships with a licensed database including real player names and many official logos, but third-party pack installation has not been officially enabled. Watch the FM news page for post-launch updates.
Q: Why do some player faces and club badges look generic in FM27 Mobile?
Licensing is the reason. Football Manager titles have always shipped with partial licensing for certain photos and competitions, so some players appear as silhouettes and some clubs use generic crests. On PC, community packs fill these gaps; on mobile, availability depends on official support.
Q: Are paid FM27 Mobile facepacks safe to buy?
No official paid facepack or logopack exists for FM27 Mobile. Any site selling them is unaffiliated with Sega or Sports Interactive. Stick to free packs from the SI community forums and avoid download pages demanding payment or account details.
Q: Will installing a facepack break my career save?
Graphics packs are cosmetic and do not alter save data. However, after squad database updates, face files keyed to old player IDs can display incorrect images. Re-downloading the pack version matching your current database resolves this.
