Original idea from @KFJ.

Decided to do the exact same thing for FIFA 17. Suprisingly, everything worked! All competitions, including World Cup, Euros and other Internanational tournaments work.
The following is almost the same as the comment by KFJ.(link above). I'll rewrite it here:
Go into Frosty Editor -> Legacy Explorer, search for "cmsettings" and export it by right clicking on it:

Open it whenever, I'll open it in Visual Studio Code, you can do so in Notepad as well, then press ctrl+F and search for "CALSTART_YEAR":

Change the value of xxxx in "CALSTART_YEAR = xxxx" to 2025, or any other year you want. Save the file and reimport it back into Frosty Editor.

Now, search "compdata" in Legacy Explorer, press on the folder and scroll down to see "settings.txt":

Export it out and open it, and search for "schedule_year_start":

Change the xxxx value on line "0,schedule_year_start,xxxx" to 2025, or whichever year you want(as you can see I already changed it).
Then, go search for "14,schedule_year_start", you'll see the line "14,schedule_year_start,xxxx", change the xxxx to 2026. This is to change the World Cup year start date(as you can see I already changed it):

Now, search "84,schedule_year_start", you'll see the line "84,schedule_year_start,xxxx", change the value of xxxx to 2028. This will change the start date of the Euros:

Now, search for "1578,schedule_year_start", you will see the line "1578,schedule_year_start,xxxx". Change the xxxx to 2028. This changes the start date of the South America Cup(COPA America):

Now, finally, save the file and reimport it back into Frosty Editor. Launch the game in Frosty and start a career. You career will now start in 2025, the qualifiers of international competitions will adjust automatically:

I'm also attaching the .fbmod file.

Hey man. So I am refering to FC25 but the system should be equal, shouldn't it? I used the tutotial above and other steps to start a career with FC26 database content. Everything is working, except one thing: Only the players of my team and randomly some other players are listed in the league leaders statistics (best goalscorer, best assist, best goalkeeper, etc.) It seems like only the goals and assists from my players are counted there. The other teams in the league have realisitc results but their goalscorers and so on are not shown and do not appear in their statistics. I've noticed, that after a match, when the results of the other matches are briefly shown, they always end 0:0 but when you look it up in the calendar, the results are realistic (like 1:0, 2:1, 3:1 etc.) Is this just a bug from the game or is this someting related to compdata? Any ideas?
