Premier League Unveils October 2026 Player and Manager of the Month Contenders

The Premier League has announced the shortlisted candidates for the Player and Manager of the Month awards for October.

A new player will be claiming the honor this time around, as September's recipient, Brighton & Hove Albion's Pascal Groß, failed to make the cut, though manager Fabian Hürzeler returns to defend his title following yet another impressive month.

Eight players have been nominated for October's accolade, while six managers are competing to claim the award for themselves.
