The Premier League is Back for the 2026-27 Season with Topps Flagship
In this story:
The World Cup is in the rearview, and the Premier League season is a little over two weeks away from kicking off. Even sooner, Topps is releasing the 2026-27 Premier League Flagship on August 11th.
The brand-new collection combines the league's biggest stars, exciting new inserts, sought-after case hits, and one of the deepest autograph line-ups ever assembled in a Premier League release.
Short Print and Case Hit Chases
Leading the charge are all-new case hits, including The Rise, Perfect Storm and Home Pitch, alongside the return of Chrome Classics, bringing Topps' premium Chrome technology back to the Premier League with two guaranteed Chrome Classics cards in every Hobby Box.
For many collectors, the biggest chase in the release comes via the True Gold Lion. The 1-of-1 True Gold Lion cards are made using real 24k gold and are available via redemption, spanning Premier League stars including Harry Kane, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, and more!
Chase Players
Reflecting another exciting season of Premier League football, the collection features players from all 20 clubs, from established superstars including Erling Haaland, Declan Rice, Cole Palmer and Virgil van Dijk, through to the league's next generation of talent, including JJ Gabriel, Max Dowman, Jeremy Jacquet, Rayan and Junior Kroupi.
The chase rookies will include Manchester United's JJ Gabriel, Bournemouth's Rayan, Tottenham Hotspur's Luca Williams-Barnett, and more.
Young Players and Legends Highlight the Checklist
With the 2025-26 rookie class looking especially strong in the Premier League, fans can still chase Rio Ngumoha, Max Dowman, Estevao, and more from the class in short prints, case hits, and second-year autographs.
The autograph checklist will also feature Premier League legends on the Chrome Classics design featuring some of the best players to ever lace up their boots in the Premier League. Eden Hazard, Yaya Toure, Roy Keane, Patrick Kluivert, Robin van Persie, and more feature on the checklist.
The Golden Boot Autograph checklist will feature 10 of the top Golden Boot winners from over the years and will be legend-heavy as well, but feature current stars like Erling Haaland and recently departed stars like Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane.
