The PFA Awards are a prestigious annual ceremony which recognises the outstanding performers in every division from the previous season.
Staged at the Manchester Opera House, players who excelled from the Premier League to the Women's Super League during the 2025/26 season are recognised for their outstanding efforts.
The winners of each award are voted for by their fellow members of the Professional Footballers Association (PFA). Each award has six nominees.
