New FY26 benefits release date
As mentioned here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/benefits/benefits-faq-new the new benefits for FY26 should get available in February 2026. As we already have February 2026, is there an exact date when this will happen? Or will the new benefits only get available upon the annual renewal of the Partner Program as last time?

The team also mentioned:
Refresh went live Feb 13, so any benefits packages that are available to purchase now will reflect that. Note that the changes are retroactive, except for changes to Microsoft Visual Studio.

Hi TobiA ,
There is no confirmed date outlined on any resource for the release of the guide, however, looking at the previous guides, they have been released part way through the month (18th, 22nd).
