  • Voting window: Community voting opens in early January, with several outlets reporting voting starting around 7 January 2026, and running roughly a week before the full promo begins.
  • Rollout pattern:
    • Week 1: TOTY Forwards and some TOTY Icons in packs.
* Following days: Midfielders, then defenders and goalkeeper join packs in staggered drops.

* Around 23 January 2026: Full TOTY XI typically in packs together, plus Honorable Mentions close to that date.

* Late January: 12th Man vote and card release near the end of the promo window.

What’s confirmed vs predicted

  • Confirmed:
    • The promo begins on Friday 16 January 2026 for EA FC 26 TOTY.
* Voting is live in early January 2026, with official campaigns already running on EA channels and partner sites.
  • Predicted / based on patterns (subject to change):
    • Exact order and specific day for each position group (forwards, mids, defenders) beyond the initial Friday may shift slightly but will remain in that mid‑/late‑January window.
* Some calendar entries (like Warmup SBCs and certain Icons drops) are flagged as “leaked” or “predicted” rather than fully confirmed.

Mini FAQ

  • Q: When does TOTY come out in FC 26?
    A: On 16 January 2026, with the first TOTY content going live in Ultimate Team at the normal Friday evening drop time.
  • Q: When should you open saved packs?
    A: Most players wait until the full TOTY is in packs (around the late‑January window, roughly the 23rd), so you have a shot at any TOTY card rather than just one line (e.g., only attackers).
