The first product released under the new licensing agreement between Fanatics and the Premier League will be 2025-26 Topps Premier League Soccer. Topps, which was an official partner of the Premier League from 1994-2019, had lost licensing rights to Panini but regained an exclusive hold on England’s top soccer league just over a year ago. The Topps flagship set will likely be the first of several 2025-26 products to feature the country’s top talent. Topps will release the product in waves. Naturally, the first wave lands in the United Kingdom, with a retail launch set for August 7. An international retail launch will follow on August 21, and hobby boxes will hit the market on September 17. Special-edition releases include a 24-pack holiday-themed Countdown Calendar on September 2, which includes exclusive festive parallels, and a Golden Boot tin on October 2, which will also have exclusive offerings inside. Topps has also planned various special tins and multi-pack retail offerings. Every card will have a QR code on the flip side that leads collectors to an interactive collector’s hub. The 2025-26 Topps Premier League Soccer base set will run deep, with 14 players from all 20 clubs bringing the player checklist to 280 cards. There are some subsets recognizing special segments of players, bringing the complete checklist to 450 cards. As with any Topps flagship product, collectors will find many parallels – some of which are exclusive to certain boxes or tins. The Premier League’s website indicates parallels will come in at least 15 colors.
