Both the men's and women's Team of the Year in FC 26 had surprising absentees. You can argue that's just the nature of a twelve-player shortlist, as there will always be more standout players than the spots available.
However, all who fell short won’t miss the promo entirely. They’ll receive an Honorable Mentions card as a commendation. Some HM players will be released through SBCs, while a full squad of them will be added to packs.
Here are all the leaked Honorable Mentions cards in FC 26 and when they will be released.
When will the TOTY Honorable Mentions Squad Release?
FC 26 Team of the Year Honorable Mention players will be released on January 23, 2026, at the standard daily content time of 6 pm GMT / 10 am PT. This is also the time when the 12th pick winner will be available.
The date and time are for the promo squad release, which will join the packs. Separate individual players will continue to pop as rewards via objectives and SBCs.
