2025-26 Topps Premier League Soccer

Phased Release Schedule

Topps will roll out the product in stages.

The first wave launches in the United Kingdom on August 7, followed by an international retail release on August 21. Hobby boxes will arrive on September 17.

Specialty releases include:

• A 24-pack holiday-themed Countdown Calendar (September 2), featuring exclusive festive parallels.

• A Golden Boot tin (October 2), also packed with exclusive content.

• Additional special tins and multi-pack retail configurations.

Every card will feature a QR code on the back, directing collectors to an interactive collector’s hub.

Checklist Overview

The 2025-26 Topps Premier League Soccer base set is extensive, featuring 14 players from each of the league’s 20 clubs for a total of 280 base cards. Several themed subsets expand the overall checklist to 450 cards.

As expected from a flagship Topps release, collectors can look forward to a wide range of parallels — some exclusive to specific retail formats or tins. According to the Premier League website, parallels will be available in at least 15 different colors.

Retail packs will include:

• Blue parallels (1:2 packs)

• Yellow parallels (1:4 packs)

• Green parallels (1:8 packs)

• Numbered Sparkle parallels ranging from Aqua /499 to Platinum /1

Counter Display Unit retail boxes (28 packs per box) will feature Holo parallels, numbered from Aqua /499 down to Red /5.

Hobby parallels follow a Rainbow structure, ranging from Blue /150 to Foilfractor /1.

Each retail pack guarantees at least three subset cards.

Common subsets (two per pack) include:

• Generation Now

• Retro Threads

• Pro Partnership

• Full Force

• Tekkers

Each of these will also feature multiple colored parallel versions.

Rarer insert sets — Beast Mode, Headliners, and Pro Precision — maintain a similar parallel structure but are limited to one card per pack.

Inserts Overview

Inserts play a major role in this release, particularly as Topps looks to make a strong impact in the UK retail market. The lineup ranges from widely accessible cards to ultra-rare chase pieces, offering something for collectors of every level.

Chrome Kings, falling one in every 10 packs, spotlight a legend from each club on chromium stock. Tin-exclusive Gemstone parallels include Emerald, Diamond /25, Black Diamond /10, and Ruby /5.

Another standout insert is Gold Lion, appearing once every 28 packs. These visually striking cards feature a top star from each club set against a gold backdrop alongside the Premier League lion emblem.

Among the toughest pulls are:

• Premier Pulls (1:100 packs)

• Diamond Rookie Cards (1:500 packs), a 10-card set highlighting the league’s top young talents

Additional insert themes include Golden Boot, Hall of Fame, Goal Machine, Full Throttle, Perfect Storm, Heat Vision, Home Advantage, and Pro Partnership.

Autographs

Base Autographs fall at a rate of one per 168 retail packs. The autograph checklist includes Sparkle, Holo, and Rainbow parallels, numbered from Aqua /499 to one-of-one editions.

Select insert sets — including Beast Mode, Black Edition, and Chrome Kings — will also feature autograph parallels.

Each Hobby box guarantees at least one autograph as part of three total hits.
