The Keisuke Honda collaboration runs from Thursday, January 29 to Tuesday, February 17, 2026 across platforms PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, iOS, Android, and Steam for PC.
Special Keisuke Honda event and missions

What’s more, special collaboration-only missions are available throughout the Keisuke Honda event, giving players another way to earn valuable rewards simply by playing.
By clearing these limited-time missions, managers can obtain up to 2,100 GB along with one “Infinite Potential MAJIDE” SR Training Card. This Training Card is exclusive to the Keisuke Honda collaboration and cannot be acquired outside of the event period.
Full mission details can be found by navigating to the Missions section on the Home screen in-game.
Prime Scouting for 3-star RM Keisuke Honda with rare signed version
A major highlight of the event is Prime Scouting, where players can recruit 3-star RM Keisuke Honda.
You even get a small chance to obtain a rare signed version of the card. While signed and standard versions perform identically, the signed card offers a unique visual variant.
Do note that due to in-game adjustments, Keisuke Honda’s position has been updated from Offensive Midfielder to Right Midfielder (RM).
Players can participate in the featured scouting banner by scouting once for 300 RB/GB, ten times for 3,000 RB/GB, or once daily for 100 RB. Scouting rates for Prime Players are available in the Scouting Rates section of the Scouting screen.
An RB-exclusive version of the featured scouting is also offered, guaranteeing one 3-star Prime Player when scouting ten times for 3,000 RB, which can only be claimed once during the event period.
