Topps says 2026 Bowman Football will put officially licensed NFL and college cards in the same packs for the first time
Topps announced it on its own account with a graphic and a line about more details coming soon, and no release date attached. Checklist Insider, which picked it up separately, calls the combination unprecedented for the brand, notes Bowman NFL is back after a decade away, and reports a September 8 presale date Topps has not posted itself. It also has NFL autographs led by Josh Allen in Bowman Chrome Autographs and college autographs led by CJ Carr in Bowman University Chrome Autographs, the same two players shown in Topps' announcement graphic. The full release date is still TBA.

2026 Donruss Football releases today as Panini's first unlicensed NFL product
The NFL awarded exclusive trading card rights to Fanatics and Topps in April, and per Beckett this is the first Donruss Football to release without a license. Pro-player cards carry no team logos or uniforms, and collegiate cards take a much larger share of the 200-card base set as a result. Hobby boxes hold 12 packs of 10 cards with one autograph and one relic each, and the Campus Kings and Elite insert lines return. Checklist Insider's release calendar has it on sale today.
