The most anticipated event of the year in EA Sports FC 26 now has confirmed dates. The Team of the Year will begin this Friday, 16th, and, as usual, the content will be progressively added and removed from packs until the end of the month, with several particularly interesting moments for players.
With attackers, midfielders, defenders, icons, and honorary versions spread across different days, knowing the complete calendar is essential to decide when to open packs and when to save resources. Below, we review all the key dates of the TOTY event in FC 26.
Complete calendar of the TOTY event in FC 26
| Date | Content added to packs | Content removed |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, 16th | TOTY attackers (male and female) · TOTY icons – Team 1 | — |
| Sunday, 18th | TOTY midfielders | TOTY attackers are removed |
| Tuesday, 20th | TOTY defenders + goalkeepers · TOTY icons – Team 2 | TOTY midfielders are removed · TOTY icons – Team 1 are removed |

| Friday, 23rd | TOTY icons +12 (male and female) · TOTY honorary versions | TOTY icons are removed |
| Sunday, 25th | TOTY icons Team 1 + Team 2 together | — |
This staggered system allows EA to renew interest throughout the week, although it also limits the chances if packs are opened in the first days of the event.
When is the best time to open packs during the TOTY
The best days to open packs will be from Sunday, 25th to Friday, 30th, when all event cards will be available simultaneously: complete TOTY teams, icons from both teams, and honorary versions. It’s the moment with the most variety and best overall chances.
For those who have been saving packs, points, or rewards for weeks, this final window is the most recommended. The TOTY in FC 26 returns to its classic format, with several content peaks and a final stretch designed to concentrate all the event’s attention.
