For EA Sports FC 26, TOTY cards are entering packs in staggered waves through January 2026, with the full Team of the Year in packs from January 22.

Key TOTY pack dates

  • TOTY Attackers in packs: January 16–18, 2026.
  • TOTY Midfielders in packs: January 18–20, 2026.
  • TOTY Defenders + Goalkeepers in packs: January 20–22, 2026.
  • Full men’s and women’s TOTY squads in packs: from January 22, 2026.
  • Honorable Mentions and 12th player: from January 23, 2026.

Quick tips for opening packs

  • If you want a specific line (e.g., attackers only), open during that 2‑day window so your packs are only drawing from that positional group.
  • If you want “everything in packs” (all TOTY positions plus most specials), saving for the full-squad period starting January 22 is generally considered the best all-round window.

In short: if you’re asking “when are TOTY in packs,” the answer this year is that they start position-by-position from January 16, but the true all-in, full-squad period begins on January 22, 2026.
