OpenFootball Studio
OpenFootball WC26
For anyone who still wants to sit down at a computer and play a football match. Free preview, keyboard or controller, starting with Quick Match and a 48-team tournament.
When the macOS and Windows preview builds are ready, we will publish them here with mirror links, release notes, and a feedback channel.
Open Community
Put the ball at players' feet first.
We want playable builds in players' hands early. People try them, point out what feels wrong, and we keep improving from there.
About Us
OpenFootball Studio
We are football fans. We grew up waiting for kick-off, then stayed in front of consoles and computers, playing one more match long after we should have stopped.
What we miss is simple: turn it on, pick teams, play. A through ball gets through, a long shot goes in, the controller jumps, and everyone in the room reacts.
OpenFootball WC26 starts from that feeling. It is still early, but we want to keep building it with players who still care about football games.
- Football fans first
- Chasing the feeling of pick up and play
- Keyboard works, controller feels better
- Free preview, honest feedback welcome
- No pretending, steady updates
Gameplay Expectation
This is not the finish line.
Think of it as an open training match. Quick Match and tournament play come first; visuals, animation, AI, contact, and match rhythm will keep changing. We will share what works and what still needs work.

Roadmap
One build at a time.
01
Get it out
When macOS and Windows builds are ready, put them on the download page so people can actually play.
02
Fix what blocks play
Launch failures, stutter, controllers not responding, unreadable text, and match-breaking bugs come first.
03
Make the match better
Use feedback to improve passing, shooting, defending, goalkeepers, AI, and tournament content.
Community
The problems you find matter most.
If something feels wrong, does not respond, or crashes outright, tell us. A system, build version, reproduction steps, screenshots, or video helps much more than a vague compliment.
