Topps Champions League 2026

The UEFA Champions League 2025/26 is the official sticker collection dedicated to the 2025/26 season of Europe's most prestigious club competition. Published by Topps, which has held the rights to the UEFA Champions League since the 2015/16 season, the collection was released in both a standard and a hardcover edition. With 574 stickers in the main album, 36 participating teams and a large number of special sections, it is one of the most extensive Champions League collections produced by Topps.

The album opens with a contents page and three introductory stickers: the Topps logo, the UEFA Champions League trophy and the UEFA Women's Champions League trophy. The collection then looks back at the previous season with two special pages dedicated to the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League and Women's Champions League Teams and Players of the Season. The men's section features 11 action stickers representing the Team of the Season, including a shiny sticker dedicated to the Player of the Season, Ousmane Dembélé. The following page has the equivalent section for the Women's Champions League, with Aitana Bonmatí receiving the special Player of the Season sticker.

Before the presentation of the 2025/26 clubs, there is another two-page section called Historic Hat-trick Heroes. It contains eight holographic stickers celebrating legendary players who scored a hat-trick in the Champions League. Among them is Lionel Messi, whose sticker is given the particularly prestigious Supreme Hero treatment.

The 36 teams participating in the 2025/26 Champions League are then presented in alphabetical order. The collection reflects the new 36-team league phase format, but not all clubs receive exactly the same amount of space. The first 29 teams have 14 stickers each, spread across two pages. Each team has a shiny club badge, 11 player portrait stickers and two additional shiny action stickers featuring players under the themes The Master and The Apprentice. The seven teams that qualified through the play-offs have a smaller section with 12 stickers on a single page: a shiny badge followed by 11 player portraits.

The album contains several further special sections which give the collection considerably more variety. In the centre is Leading Legacies, featuring 20 holographic action stickers dedicated to team leaders from the past. Among the players included are famous names such as Xavi, Javier Zanetti and Philipp Lahm. This is followed by 1st Stickers, a set of 12 shiny portrait stickers celebrating players making their Champions League debut.

The UEFA Youth League is also represented with a small three-sticker section containing the Youth League trophy, the 2025 winners Barcelona, and the tournament's Superstar, Quim Junyent. The album concludes with Energy Legends, another highly visual special section containing eight spectacular stickers dedicated to legendary Champions League players, including Lionel Messi, Zinedine Zidane and Gianluigi Buffon.

As well as the 574 stickers in the album, Topps has produced a substantial range of additional collectibles. All the player portrait stickers are available in several parallel versions, with blue, black, red and platinum variants offering different levels of rarity. There are also very rare jersey relic cards/stickers, numbered RS1 to RS10, for collectors interested in memorabilia.
