FIFA 23 Team of the Year release schedule is on the minds of many heading into the biggest Ultimate Team promotion of the game cycle.

Team of the Year highlights the best performing players from the past year with high rated special items. As well, there's plenty of other content for players to engage with including SBCs, objectives and more. There's even a rumor of Team of the Year Icons getting added this time around thanks to the new Campaign Icon format.

EA Sports releases TOTY items in batches before the full squad is available in packs plus nominees and a 12th man. Attackers, midfielders and defenders/goalkeeper items usually have their own mini-release window.

Here's what we expect the FIFA 23 Team of the Year release schedule to look like.

FIFA 23 Team of the Year Release Schedule

FIFA 22's Team of the Year attacking players were released in packs on Jan. 21, 2022. Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski were available in packs for a limited time before Jorginho, Kevin De Bruyne and N'Golo Kante were added on Jan. 23. Defenders and goalkeeper were then added on Jan. 25.

TOTY Honorable Mentions, or nominees, were released in packs on Jan. 28 alongside 12th man Cristiano Ronaldo. So, based on last year's information, here's what we expect for the fIFA 23 TOTY schedule:

• Friday, Jan. 20 - TOTY Attackers
• Sunday, Jan. 22 - TOTY Midfielders
• Tuesday, Jan. 24 - TOTY Defenders/Goalkeeper
• Friday, Jan. 27 - Full TOTY Squad

Perhaps EA Sports releases the full squad on Thursday, Jan. 26 as well before the possibility of TOTY Icons on Jan. 27. As the full schedule is released, check back here.
