FC 26 Team of the Season

This article contains information about the 'release-date' of either a movie, game or product. Unless stated explicitly, release dates are speculative & subject to change. See something wrong? Contact us here

  • Primary Subject: FC 26 Team of the Season (TOTS)
  • Key Update: The TOTS campaign is expected to begin on April 24, 2026, with a "Warm-Up" week starting April 17.
  • Status: Upcoming (Voting Live)
  • Last Verified: April 8, 2026
  • Quick Answer: Team of the Season marks the biggest power curve shift in FC 26, celebrating the best performers from global leagues. The month-long event kicks off with a Warm-Up week for pack saving, followed by weekly squad releases including the Premier League, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1. TOTS Ultimate will conclude the festivities on June 5.

We're now closer to the release of FC 27 than the launch of FC 26. That means we're due for the steepest increase in the power curve with the Team of the Season campaign.

Unlike most promos, TOTS is a month-long deal where each week we get a new team filled with this season's standout players from a specific league. You can vote for some of them, too. 

All that said, here is the expected schedule for the Team of the Season promo in FC 26.

When will the Team of the Season be Released in FC 26?

The Team of the Season promo is expected to begin on April 24, 2026, following the end of Season 6. EA has already confirmed that the event is coming soon, and voting for the Premier League is already live.

While the full campaign will kick off on the date we mentioned above, a "warm-up" always happens exactly one week before. Warm-Up is typically filled with SBCs and other challenges that'll hand out packs for you to open during the promo, so that you have the best shot at getting your favorite cards.

So, the party for the Team of the Season will start on April 17 as a warm-up before the first team goes live on April 24.

Below is the FC 26 TOTS schedule, based on past release patterns:

  • April 17: TOTS Warm Up.
  • April 24: Ligue 1 
  • May 1: Premier League, Women's Super League, and Mixed League TOTS squads.
  • May 8: Bundesliga, Frauen-Bundesliga, and second Mixed League TOTS squads.
  • May 15: Serie A, Rest of the World TOTS squads.
  • May 22: La Liga and Liga F squads.
  • May 29: Rest of the World TOTS squad 2
  • June 5: TOTS Ultimate.

Every week on Friday, at the usual daily content time of 6 PM BST / 10 AM PT, we will receive TOTS squads from both the men's and women's competitions in the major leagues. Once a new team arrives, older ones will leave the packs.

So, if you're targeting a specific league player, like Kylian Mbappé, you'll have to time your pack opening. While all major leagues will have their dedicated teams, smaller leagues will be clubbed together in the Mixed League and the Rest of the World Squad.

Most cards will be available for one week, but a few will return later as part of TOTS Ultimate. These will be the most desired cards from the promo and will remain in the pack for a week. 

Team of the Season is one of the big three campaigns in every EA FC cycle, alongside TOTY and FUTTIES. In the past, cards were more packable than other promos, but getting the top cards is still purely a gamble. 

That's everything about the TOTS promo in FC 26. Keep in mind the dates are based on past release patterns and may change for this year.
