EA SPORTS FC rolls out Men’s and Women’s TOTY across mobile

Electronic Arts activated the Men’s and Women’s EA SPORTS FC Team of the Year program across EA SPORTS FC 26 and companion mobile experiences, introducing Men’s and Women’s TOTY Captains and a community-voted rollout of special items. For mobile players the first wave landed on January 15, 2026, when Men’s TOTY nominees and an in-game event became available inside EA SPORTS FC Mobile.

The mobile TOTY program will proceed with weekly updates that drop attacker, midfield and defender group items ahead of the Ultimate Team of the Year event beginning February 5. Honourable Mentions are scheduled to follow on February 12, and EA has mapped out a timetable for Icons, Honourable Mentions and other TOTY-related items to land across the Ultimate Team ecosystem, including the mobile app and companion experiences. TOTY content will also be integrated into packs and special events within the mobile Ultimate Team environment, so mobile squads will see direct parity with console and PC activations.

What this means for your club is straightforward: nominees are in play now, and the rhythm of weekly group drops gives you clear windows to plan squad upgrades, pack openings and coin management. Voting dates and event windows are part of the rollout, so you can influence which players earn TOTY status while timing your resource spend for the high-value UTOTY releases. Because the program spans the Ultimate Team ecosystem, actions in the companion app and on mobile will feed into the broader campaign.

For mobile-focused players, practical moves include logging into EA SPORTS FC Mobile to claim event rewards and vote during the designated windows, tracking the weekly drop pattern for attackers, midfielders and defenders, and considering whether to hold packs or expend coins before the UTOTY launch on February 5. Expect Icons and Honourable Mentions to provide additional moments to strengthen squads during and after the UTOTY peak.

The introduction of TOTY Captains for both Men’s and Women’s teams is a community-facing tweak that gives voting more narrative weight and could shift pack market dynamics while the campaign runs. With nominees live and weekly content lined up, now is a busy period for Ultimate Team managers on mobile: engage in voting, time your pack strategies and watch the schedule as the program builds toward UTOTY and the Honourable Mentions drops in mid-February.
