2025-26 Topps Royalty Premier League Soccer Checklist, Box Details and Team Set Highlights

Topps is bringing its Royalty line to the Premier League for the first time with a high-end release built around autographs, premium memorabilia, and a checklist that mixes current stars, club icons, and emerging rookies. The 2025-26 Topps Royalty Premier League Soccer set is positioned as a luxury product from the start, with every hobby box delivering six autographs and two memorabilia cards.

The format is compact but loaded. Each hobby box has a single 10-card pack, and the product leans heavily into hard-to-ignore names from across England’s top flight. That includes modern standouts such as Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, Rodri and Bruno Fernandes, along with a long list of legends like Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Roy Keane, Didier Drogba and Dennis Bergkamp.

For collectors chasing first-year names and younger talent, the release also includes several notable rookie and prospect-style cards such as Max Dowman, Estêvão Willian, Rio Ngumoha, Chris Rigg, Reggie Walsh, Tom Watson and Reigan Heskey.

Autograph relics and premium signed chases

Royalty is not stopping at standard signatures. The release adds a deep autograph relic menu that should drive much of the high-end market attention. Collectors can chase booklets, jumbo patches, rookie relic autos and themed memorabilia signatures tied to major stars and young talent.

Memorabilia cards and relic checklist

The memorabilia side is extensive for a product that already promises six autographs per box. Topps is using multiple formats ranging from standard premium relics to more ornate patch-driven concepts. According to the release details, memorabilia can include standard jersey swatches, multi-color patches, club badges, manufacturer logos, Premier League lion logos and select match-specific pieces.

Insert checklist

The insert side is small but targeted. Liquid Silver is a five-card insert set featuring some of the biggest names and highest-interest youth cards in the release:

  • LS-1 Bukayo Saka
  • LS-2 Mohamed Salah
  • LS-3 Erling Haaland
  • LS-4 Rio Ngumoha
  • LS-5 Estêvão Willian

That concise checklist gives the insert set a short-print feel, especially with two of the strongest young names in the product sitting next to three established superstars.

Team set highlights for collectors

Because Royalty spreads hits across all 20 clubs, team collectors have plenty to chase. Some clubs are clearly deeper than others, especially Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United, but there are also focused mini-chases for Leicester City, Sunderland and Wolves collectors.

Arsenal

Arsenal has one of the strongest presences in the release. The base group includes Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, Max Dowman RC and Leandro Trossard. Beyond that, the club lands autographs and relics from Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry, Kanu, Mikel Arteta, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Martín Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyökeres, Robert Pirès, Robin van Persie and William Saliba. Max Dowman also appears in Next In Line, Rookie Jumbo Autograph Relics and Max’s Match Ball Autographs.

Chelsea

Chelsea is another loaded checklist. Collectors get base cards of Cole Palmer, Estêvão Willian RC, Enzo Fernández, João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo, plus autograph and relic content from Didier Drogba, Eden Hazard, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien, Gianfranco Zola, Deco, Petr Čech, Reggie Walsh and Estêvão Willian. The club also has a Liquid Silver card for Estêvão and multiple autograph relic appearances for Palmer and Caicedo.

Liverpool FC

Liverpool’s 20 Autograph Edition and 20 Relic Edition subsets give the club a special place in the product. The base team includes Rio Ngumoha RC, Virgil van Dijk, Alexander Isak, Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai. The autograph lineup reaches Andy Robertson, Luis Díaz, Salah, van Dijk, Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen and Luis Suárez. Rio Ngumoha is one of the biggest rookie chases with appearances in Next In Line, Liquid Silver, Royalty Autographs, Rookie Jumbo Autograph Relics, Superior Relic Signatures and autograph jumbo relic booklet format.

Manchester City

City brings current and historic star power with Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne leading the way. Haaland appears in Liquid Silver, Crowned Champions, King For A Day Autograph Relics, Premier League Elite Relics, Regalia Relics and autograph jumbo relic booklet form. City also has Sergio Agüero in Bow To Greatness, Crown Duals and Royalty Autographs, plus prospect-style content for Reigan Heskey and Divine Mukasa.

Manchester United

United collectors get a strong mix of present-day talent and club legends. The base team includes Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, Shea Lacey RC and Benjamin Šeško. On the autograph side, the checklist features Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Bruno Fernandes, while relic and booklet content expands that group even further.

Other teams with notable depth

  • Leicester City: A Royal Miracle and A Royal Miracle Autograph Relics with Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez
  • Tottenham Hotspur: Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son, Gareth Bale, Luka Modrić, Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons across autos and relics
  • Sunderland: Chris Rigg, Eliezer Mayenda and Granit Xhaka headline a compact but interesting team chase
  • Newcastle United: Alan Shearer, Bruno Guimarães, Nick Woltemade and Sandro Tonali appear across multiple sets
  • Brighton & Hove Albion: Yasin Ayari and Tom Watson appear in Next In Line, with Carlos Baleba also landing a Royalty Autograph
  • Wolverhampton Wanderers: Fer López, Mateus Mané and Jørgen Strand Larsen carry much of the chase appeal

Collector takeaways

The biggest appeal of 2025-26 Topps Royalty Premier League Soccer is its concentration of premium content. A one-pack box with eight guaranteed hits is an aggressive format, and the checklist supports it with a blend of legends, current stars and young names that should keep interest high across different collecting styles.

From a market standpoint, names like Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, Estêvão Willian, Max Dowman and Rio Ngumoha look like the key anchors. Team collectors will likely focus heavily on Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United, while Leicester City’s anniversary tribute creates a very specific chase for collectors who value Premier League history. Print runs for cards without serial numbers have not been announced, but the serial-numbered base set and the deep autograph relic menu give this debut Royalty release a strong premium profile heading into its August 18 pre-order date.
