Published April 2, 2026 · Updated April 2, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Topps is set to release NFL trading cards for the first time since 2016 after reaching a multi-year deal with the league and NFL Players Association.

The first set will be 2025 Topps Chrome Football, scheduled for release on April 15. It will feature exclusive one-of-one Rookie PREM1ERE Patch Autograph Cards with patches from players' first regular-season games, including top pick Cam Ward, and NFL Honors Gold Shield Autograph Cards featuring 2024 award winners like Josh Allen and Saquon Barkley.

Fanatics Collectibles, which acquired Topps in 2022, now serves as the NFL and NFLPA's official exclusive trading card licensee under this new agreement, granting them global distribution rights for the iconic trading card brand.
