The official sticker collection of the UEFA Champions League for the season 2020/2021 was released by Topps in September 2020. The collection has a similar layout of the latest editions, with the 32 competing clubs grouped by country. Again, due to the early release, the eight teams coming from the play-off stage are at the end of the album and each team is displaced on only one page.
The album begins with the table of contents and two introductory stickers: the UEFA Champions League logo and trophy. Then the 26 teams that were directly qualified to the group stage are shown by country, starting from the four Spanish clubs and finishing with the only Dutch club qualified (Ajax). These teams have 18 stickers over two pages: the club badge (shiny sticker), the player to watch (large size sticker), and 16 players. The six clubs coming from the play-offs are shown right after with 16 stickers on one page: the shiny club badge, and 15 players. For all 32 clubs the captain sticker is shiny.
The collection features three special sections at the end of the album: Rising Stars includes 14 large shiny stickers of young talents, whereas UEFA Youth League and Women's champions league show the calendar of the tournaments with two stickers of the previous winners.
