Topps Is Back: New Premier League Collection 2025/26 Brings Ultra-Rare Cards, Stunning Parallels & Golden Boot Tins

Topps Premier League 2025/26 – The Most Ambitious Football Card Set Ever?

Topps is officially back as the exclusive trading card partner of the Premier League, and the 2025/26 set is nothing short of a game-changer. Whether you're a seasoned collector, a casual fan, or just discovering The Hobby, this product line is designed to offer something thrilling in every rip.

🏆 Base Cards, But Not So Basic

This season’s foundation is built on a checklist of 280 players – that’s 14 from each of the 20 Premier League clubs – plus team badge cards. It’s the perfect start for collectors who love building full squads and learning the faces behind the shirts.

What’s new? Each pack includes a mix of base and insert cards, and thanks to a rainbow of vibrant parallels – including retail-exclusive Blue (1:2 packs), Yellow (1:4), and Green (1:8) – no two rips feel the same.

🌈 Parallels: Every Collector’s Obsession

Parallel cards are alternate-colour versions of standard cards, and this year they’re more exciting than ever:

• Retail Parallels: Blue, Yellow, Green
• Display Box Parallels: Mini Diamonds, numbered
• Hobby-Only: Rainbow Foils, low-numbered or even 1-of-1s

Holiday exclusives like Gold Rainbow Lazers and Festive Freeze parallels add even more seasonal flavor for 2025.

🃏 Insert Sets: Creative, Collectible, and Fun

Topps is flexing its creative muscles this year with some of the most diverse insert sets ever released in a football collection:

• Generation Now: Rising stars of the new era
• Throwback Threads: Retro kit vibes
• Full Force & Beast Mode: Power and energy in motion
• Chrome King: Legends printed on premium stock
• Gold Lion: 1-per-box premium gold inserts

Most inserts also come with parallels – from Pink Sparkles to Foilfractor 1-of-1s. In short: every insert could be a monster pull.

✍️ Autographs & Chase Cards

This is the first time in years that autographs are widely available at retail. Signatures from legends like Erling Haaland, Cole Palmer, Wayne Rooney, and more can be found across multiple themes, with odds as good as 1:168 packs.

• Diamond Rookies: Short-printed debut cards (1:500 packs)
