If Team of the Year serves as the annual marquee event for every FC title, then Team of the Season is the exclusive celebratory promo reserved for the transition between spring and summer!

While the upcoming World Cup, which has yet to begin, is capturing much of the spotlight this year, several other equally significant competitions have already concluded.

TOTS serves as a comprehensive retrospective, highlighting the players who delivered outstanding performances in these tournaments.

So, when does this promo begin and end? And what benefits and exciting experiences does it have in store for you? We're here to tell you all about it.

What is Team of the Season?

Held annually around late April, this event within FIFA game series is designed to honor real-world players who have delivered the best performances throughout the past season in leagues such as Premier League or LaLiga.

Unlike standard promos where players are released directly by the developers, these players are selected through a voting process involving you and other fans. The players who make the cut are awarded special cards featuring massive, permanent in-game stat boosts.

FUT 26 TOTS schedule

This promo officially kicks off on April 17, 2026, and will run until May 22, 2026, spanning a total of five weeks. Each Friday during this period, the final squads, determined by fan votes, will be unveiled:

• April 17th: Serie A, Eredivisie, MLS, RoE (Rest of Europe)
• April 24th: Premier League, Barclays WSL, EFL
• May 1st: Bundesliga, GPFBL, Saudi Pro League, RoW (Rest of the World)
• May 8th: Ligue 1, Arkema Premiere League, Turkish SuperLig, NWSL
• May 15th: LaLiga, Liga F, Portuguese League
• May 22rd: Ultimate Team of the Season

How to vote?

If you are the type of player who cares less about who the players are and focuses solely on whether they can help you secure a victory, then skipping the voting process is no big deal.

However, if you are a fan of specific players, this is a step you absolutely do not want to miss!

As the schedule above indicates, each week you will need to cast your votes for different leagues to determine their respective TOTS squads.

In the final week, an Ultimate Team will be selected, drawing from the standout players who made the cut in the preceding weeks. Based on this, the specific voting steps are as follows (these remain the same every week):

1. Visit the dedicated TOTS section on the official EA Sports website.
2. Locate and click Vote Now button on the page.
3. Simply drag and drop all your preferred candidate players into the starting XI formation slots.

Do not be surprised if you notice that the developers have pre-selected the winners for certain smaller leagues; this is a common practice. However, for the major top-tier leagues, the selection of TOTS squad still relies primarily on community voting.

Which players are likely to be selected?

Voting is currently in full swing for Premier League, so our predictions will focus primarily on its TOTS squad.

The final squad typically consists of 11 standard players, plus two Moments and one Flashback player. Our predictions for potential inclusions are as follows:

Standard Players:

• Gianluigi Donnarumma - GK
• Marc Cucurella - LB
• Gabriel - CB
• William Saliba - CB
• Jurrien Timber - RB
• Bruno Fernandes - CM
• Declan Rice - CM
• Casemiro - CM
• Antoine Semenyo - LW
• Erling Haaland - ST
• Igor Thiago - ST
• Virgil Van Dijk - CB
• Dominik Szoboszlai - CAM
• Harry Wilson - RM
• Joao Pedro - ST

Moments / Flashback Players:

• Eberechi Eze - CAM
• Dominic Solanke - ST
• Dominic Solanke - ST

How can you obtain these players?

Once TOTS begins, FC 26 is expected to release new SBCs and Objectives daily for you to complete.

These may reward you with specific TOTS cards, or they may provide additional card packs, thereby increasing your chances of pulling these limited-edition cards.

Completing an SBC typically involves fulfilling several specific requirements within a single task; you simply need to select players from your own club roster that meet these criteria to assemble a qualifying squad.

Objectives, on the other hand, require you to participate in actual matches, either by securing victories or by performing specific actions using designated players.

It is worth noting that while Team of the Season event is active, there is also a chance to pull TOTS cards from long-term objectives and any other reward packs obtained through various means.

Additionally, card packs will be available for trade in the in-game store.

If you prefer not to rely on chance, but instead wish to acquire a specific player card with greater precision, you can trade directly on the transfer market. With a bit of luck, the number of coins required might not even be that high!

However, given that new squads are released every week, player cards from different leagues may be available for a limited time only. Therefore, be sure to keep a close eye on the schedule to avoid missing out on the cards you desire.

Why shouldn't you miss out on TOTS?

The enhanced cards featured in this promo not only offer you deeper insight into the players who starred in 2025/26 season, but also serve to significantly boost the overall strength of your squad.

More importantly, if you happen to be a fan of these specific players, this is the perfect opportunity to acquire limited-edition, enhanced versions of your idols!

That wraps up everything we have to share with you today. Start getting ready to acquire these new cards right away and don't forget to cast your votes!

In Diablo 2 Resurrected Season 13, the most captivating boss encounter is arguably Colossal Ancients.

However, if you have experienced or are familiar with this challenge, you know that unlocking this specific boss battle requires you to first defeat the final bosses of each individual act.

This is because the corresponding statues, which are required to unlock Colossal Ancients encounter, can only be obtained by defeating the five final bosses of the main storyline, and only when a Terror Zone is currently active.

We have previously provided a guide for Colossal Ancients boss battle, but we did not delve deeply into specific combat strategies for the main storyline bosses. This time, we will provide that detailed analysis.

Act 1: Andariel

As the final boss of Act 1, Andariel has a challenge level of 79. While this level is not particularly high compared to other bosses, defeating her offers rewards beyond just Colossal Ancient Statues; you also have a chance to obtain D2R Runes or rare gear.

Once you have completed the prerequisite quests for Act 1, you can find this boss by venturing into the deepest levels of Catacombs. She is vulnerable to fire damage but excels at unleashing powerful poison attacks, and she possesses a relatively high resistance to poison herself.

Generally speaking, using cold-based skills against Andariel is the most effective strategy; not only does it inflict damage, but it also slows down the boss's movement speed.

It is worth noting that during the battle, you can utilize the various pieces of cover within the arena to dodge her poison attacks, though some of your hired mercenaries may be unable to do so.

Therefore, if you wish to ensure your mercenaries remain active and provide assistance for a longer duration during Andariel boss fight, it is advisable to bring a sufficient supply of Antidote Potions in advance. This will also prove beneficial for your own survival should you happen to get struck by her attacks.

If your goal is to defeat Andariel, and subsequently other main storyline bosses, to unlock Colossal Ancients or to acquire more loot, be aware that engaging these bosses within a Terror Zone will significantly enhance their abilities.

Furthermore, you must have already completed the main storyline campaign at least once, defeating all the final bosses in the process, before Terror Zone mechanic becomes available to you.

Act 2: Duriel

Known as Lord of Pain, Duriel serves as the final boss of Act 2, and he is also the brother of Andariel. He is located deep within Tal Rasha's Chamber, an area that can only be accessed by utilizing Horadric Staff.

This boss possesses relatively low resistance to fire, cold, lightning, and poison; however, his attacks are formidable, ranging from freezing you instantly upon contact to unleashing incredibly rapid, consecutive slashes, and they are notoriously difficult to dodge.

Of course, defeating this boss is far from impossible, provided you utilize targeted skills and carry a sufficient supply of Thawing Potions. Generally speaking, ranged skills, evasion-based abilities, and elemental attacks prove highly effective in this encounter.

Act 3: Mephisto

This boss is located at the lowest level of Durance of Hate in Act 3. The quickest way to reach him is to first locate the waypoint on the second level of the area; from there, simply follow the outer perimeter of the zone in a clockwise direction to find the staircase leading down.

Mephisto himself primarily employs cold and lightning-based attacks; however, during the battle, he will also summon Elite Council members to assist him. Furthermore, you may encounter other hostile enemies while navigating the area in search of the boss.

Consequently, for this battle, in addition to boosting your cold and lightning resistances, it is highly recommended that you prepare a diverse array of damage-dealing abilities, and having access to Teleport skill would be an even greater advantage!

Once the battle begins, it is best to prioritize eliminating the summoned minions before focusing your attacks on the boss.

You can lure Mephisto across the river, then use Teleport to return to the opposite bank, allowing you to defeat him with relative ease from a safe distance across the water!

Act 4: Diablo

After completing the prerequisite quests in Act 4, head north across River of Flame to reach Chaos Sanctuary, the boss's lair.

The interior of this zone is laid out in a cross shape; the boss himself is located to the south, but you must first defeat the bosses situated in the other three cardinal directions to unlock the encounter with Diablo.

Diablo's attacks deal primarily fire and lightning damage; therefore, it is absolutely essential to prepare potions that boost these specific resistances in advance, or to return to town to restock your consumables.

To maximize efficiency during these trips, you can open a town portal at one of the three directional wings while you are clearing them; Diablo typically will not pursue you into the interior of these side areas.

Act 5: Baal

As the final boss of Diablo 2 Resurrected main storyline, Baal naturally poses the greatest threat of all. He is located at the very bottom of Throne of Destruction; however, before you can reach him, you must first clear out the enemies populating Worldstone Keep.

Furthermore, Baal will summon five waves of minions in succession to attack you, with each wave representing a classic enemy type from one of the five acts:

• Fallen Ones, led by Colenzo the Annihilator
• Unravellers, led by Skeletal Mages and Achmel the Cursed
• Council Members, led by Bartuc the Bloody
• Venom Lords and Ventar the Unholy
• Minions of Destruction, led by Lister the Tormentor

During the final confrontation with Baal himself, he will also summon a clone; you can distinguish the real Baal from his clone by checking their nameplates.

The above covers all the information you need to defeat every major final boss in D2R main storyline. Whether you are new to the game or focused on farming Colossal Ancients, we hope you find this guide useful!
