# Editing fixtures > Documentation release: **FMRTE 26** (published release). **Stages / Fixtures** is an advanced feature that lets you edit upcoming fixtures after enabling it in Settings.
The available changes depend on whether the selected stage is a league, group or cup stage. ## Enable Editing Stages / Fixtures 1. Open **FMRTE → Settings**. 2. Under **Advanced**, turn on **Enable Experimental Features**. 3. Select **Save Changes** while Settings is active. 4. Open the competition's **Stages / Fixtures** page and read the message shown in the app. ## Edit an upcoming fixture 1. Choose **Stage**, then the **Match** or **Round** shown for that stage. 2. Select a fixture in the list to open its details below. 3. Change the available fields for that stage. 4. Select **Save Changes**, then check the fixture in Football Manager.  | Stage | Available fixture edits | | --- | --- | | League or group | Change **Home Team**, **Away Team**, **Stadium** and **Substitution Rules**. | | Cup | Change **Stadium** and **Substitution Rules**. To change the participating teams, edit the tie in **Ties**. | ## Common Questions ### Why is this called an Experimental Feature? Competition editing is complex, and it is difficult to test every possible scenario. We make this feature available as **Experimental** so we can gather feedback and fix bugs reported by users. If it proves too unstable, we may remove it. ### The competition is stuck after my changes. What should I do? Restore your savegame backup, then report the problem in the [Bug Tracker](https://www.fmrte.com/bug-tracker/fmrte/). Describe exactly what you edited, step by step, so we can investigate. ### Can I change fixture dates or match results? The individual fixture **Date** field cannot be edited. Match results can be edited, but these changes do not affect the 3D match or match statistics. To change league-table totals, use [Standings](https://docs.fmrte.com/26/clubs/editing-competitions.md#standings). ### What happens if I edit the result of a match that has already been played? The full effect of changing a played result is uncertain. It might change the aggregate score in a knockout stage, but this has not been tested. It will not update the 3D match details, other match statistics or player statistics. ### In a group stage, can I swap a team that has already qualified for the next round? FMRTE does not check whether teams have already qualified, so it allows the swap. Once a team has qualified, swapping it only changes its group; it does not change which team advances to the next round. ### In a cup stage, why did a team still qualify after I changed its result to a defeat? Once a team has qualified, changing the fixture result does not undo that qualification.
