Challenge friends with a match link or invite them from Friends. Online searches can expand to other leagues to help you find a rival. With notifications enabled, keep playing against the Computer while your search continues. Improved online reconnection and clearer match search screens.

DON'T WAIT AROUND. Search and walk away. Start an online search, leave the app, and we'll send you a notification the moment a rival turns up. Tap it and you're straight into the match. Stepped out? Step back in. Checking a message mid-match no longer ends it. Your rival waits a moment while you come back, and the game carries on. Know what's happening. Clear notices tell you when your rival has stepped away and when you're reconnecting. Under the hood. Crash reports now help us find and fix problems faster. Your move, Gaffer.

NEW KIT. NEW SQUADS. SAME RIVALRY. Cards, redrawn. Every player now comes on a GAFFER Arcade card: Squad, First XI, Talisman or Legend. Then there's A.N. Other. Good luck with him. Throwbacks and Peaks. Big names turn up from different seasons. Pull a Peak card and you'll know about it. The 2026/27 squads are in. Over 400 new players from Europe's top leagues, every one with a portrait. A face for everyone. Every player in the game now has a portrait, and so does every gaffer in the dugout. Online, sorted. Guests and signed-in players now share one queue, so you find a rival faster. Smarter matches. The better XI wins more often, the manager can't rescue a weak side on his own, and your star striker actually scores. One less button. Europe Mix is now the pool for every league. Same players, no Fan favourites. Cleaner kick-off. One launch screen, a quick welcome for new players, and no surprise sign-in after a reinstall. Leaving mid-match? We'll check first. Your move, Gaffer.
