Promotional items in Team Fortress 2 are exclusive items made available to players through Valve's marketing partnerships with other video game companies, as well as through their own games. Players who purchase selected items from Valve or their partners, usually within a specified timeframe, will receive the item(s) advertised.

Means of obtaining promotional items vary. Typically, promotional items are awarded to players who pre-order or purchase the specified game. On other occasions promotional items have been released to players through other means such as earning achievements in the game itself. The Earbuds were awarded to players who launched Team Fortress 2 through the Template:W operating system.

With the exception of the items earned through gameplay, these items are no longer earnable, and can only be acquired through trading or gifting.
