The 2026 Upper Deck Showcase USA Hockey release is an ePack-exclusive product built around a compact checklist and chase-driven achievements, delivering one physical card per pack.
This product debuts as part of a new, multi-year exclusive partnership between Upper Deck and USA Hockey. Every ePack contains a single physical base card drawn from a very limited pool of four Upper Deck-exclusive athletes:
While standard packs offer one base card, collectors can also uncover special two-card packs that add either a parallel or an autograph to the base card.
Parallels are a central draw in 2026 Upper Deck Showcase USA Hockey, with multiple tiers of rarity:
Autographs are significantly tougher pulls, landing at a rate of about 1 in 500 packs. Signed cards feature the same four headlining players: Eiserman, Hagens, Heise, and Hutson.
The product also incorporates achievement-based rewards for set builders. Collectors who complete any of the following can redeem them for special-edition cards:
Each of these completed sets can be exchanged for one image variation card corresponding to the specific set redeemed. In addition, completing the full Autograph set unlocks eligibility for a special Achievement Autograph card, adding another layer of chase for dedicated collectors.
Each ePack delivers one physical base card, with the possibility of an additional parallel or autograph in select packs. 2026 Upper Deck Showcase USA Hockey is available exclusively through Upper Deck’s ePack platform, with sales scheduled to run through January 11, 2026.
With a focused four-player checklist, tiered parallels, and achievement-based rewards, 2026 Upper Deck Showcase USA Hockey is designed for collectors who enjoy targeted player chases and online pack opening.
