Who Is the Latest LaLiga Player of the Month?

Raphinha won the LaLiga EA SPORTS Player of the Month award for September 2026. LaLiga announced the result on October 2, 2026, giving the Barcelona captain his second straight monthly award after also winning in August.

During September, Raphinha scored seven goals and added two assists across four league matchdays. His month included goals against Valencia plus consecutive hat-tricks against Racing Santander and Sevilla. He finished ahead of Kylian Mbappé, Jonathan David, Sergio Camello and Fer Niño in the final vote. Raphinha later scored twice in Barcelona’s 6–1 win over Alavés on October 31, a subsequent match outside the September award window. For the latest current-season leaderboards beyond the monthly award, see our LaLiga Stats 2026/27 hub for goals, assists, shots, passing and saves. If assist totals differ between providers, our LaLiga assists rules explainer explains why.

What Does POTM Mean in LaLiga?

POTM means Player of the Month. The award recognises a player whose performances stand out across a month of LaLiga competition. The current official name is the LaLiga EA SPORTS Player of the Month.

It is different from Player of the Match, which focuses on one fixture. For our game-by-game editorial selections, visit the LaLiga Player of the Match tracker.

How Is the LaLiga Player of the Month Chosen?

LaLiga publishes a shortlist of standout candidates before confirming the monthly winner. The award process includes an official voting stage promoted through LaLiga channels. Because the shortlist and voting window can change by month, we verify each entry before updating this tracker.

Other LaLiga Monthly Awards

Player of the Month is one of several recurring LaLiga honours. Separate awards include U-23 Player of the Month, Goal of the Month, Save of the Month and the monthly coach/manager award.

For September 2026, LaLiga separately named Hansi Flick as Manager of the Month, Yassir Zabiri as U-23 Player of the Month, João Cancelo for Goal of the Month and Álvaro Valles for Save of the Month.

For August 2026, LaLiga separately named Javi Hernández as U-23 Player of the Month, Kang-In Lee for Goal of the Month, Unai Simón for Save of the Month and Quique Sánchez Flores as Coach of the Month.
