Topps Opens Three Preorders Today: Heritage Football Returns After 11 Years, Stadium Club WWE Debuts, and Topps Holiday Is Back

Three Topps Preorders in One Afternoon

Topps is stacking three preorder openings on Monday, September 21. The headline is 2026 Topps Heritage Football, back after an eleven-year absence and built on the 1976 Topps design. Alongside it, 2026 Topps Stadium Club WWE brings the photography-first Stadium Club brand to wrestling for the first time, and 2026 Topps Holiday opens the annual holiday-themed baseball release. Here is what is confirmed and what is still missing for each.

Topps Heritage Football: 1 p.m. ET

Heritage Football last appeared in 2015. The 2026 edition mirrors 1976 Topps Football, which puts the fiftieth anniversary of that design on cards of current NFL stars and rookies. Topps has confirmed the following:

• League Leaders, a returning Heritage subset.
• All-Pro Series, a 24-card insert modeled on the 1976 Wonder Bread football set, featuring All-Pros from the 2025 season.
• The Expansion, an insert built around the 28-team league of the 1976 expansion era.
• Base card image variations for top veterans and rookies.
• Real One Autographs, Base Card Chrome Autograph Variations, and Locker Room Autograph Relics.

Formats have been described as hobby boxes with one hit, plus Mega Boxes and Value Blasters, but as of Sunday Topps had not published pricing, box configurations, the checklist or a release date. Expect those to appear with the live listings at 1 p.m. ET. If you want to buy, be ready with a Topps account and a saved payment method; the first Heritage Football in over a decade will be popular with the vintage-design crowd that already buys Heritage Baseball every spring.

Topps Stadium Club WWE: 4 p.m. UTC (Noon ET)

Stadium Club has never done a full WWE release. The brand's identity is full-bleed photography, and Topps is pitching the WWE version the same way: base cards built around action and entrance imagery, with Photographer's Proof, Gold Minted and Red, White and Blue parallels. Insert staples Beam Team and Triumvirates carry over, along with the Triumvirates Nickname puzzle series that appeared in this year's Stadium Club UFC. Autograph sets include Base Autographs (Gold /50), Concentration, Inked, Main Stage, The Aftermath, Abstract and Dual Autographs, with Purple /25, Green /5 and Gold 1/1 parallels on the signed cards. Previewed signers include Rhea Ripley, Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Liv Morgan, Jacob Fatu, Chelsea Green, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. No checklist, box configuration or release date has been posted.

Topps Holiday

The annual holiday baseball release also opens for preorder on the 21st. Topps Holiday historically uses the flagship design with seasonal accents and has become a stocking-stuffer staple; details on this year's configuration were not published in advance.

How to Approach a No-Price Preorder

• Do not commit blind. With no configuration or odds sheet, you cannot judge value until the listing goes live. Read the product page before you click.
• Compare with your local shop. Direct preorders usually carry MSRP; shops often price allocated product competitively and you skip shipping and Topps site queues.
• Heritage is a set-builder product. Historically its value is in the base set, short prints and Real One autos, not in box-hit lotteries. Buy it if you like the 1976 design.
• WWE has been a strong Topps category. Chrome WWE and Universe WWE hobby boxes are trading between roughly $120 and $280 on the secondary market this month, which suggests a first-year Stadium Club will find buyers.

Prefer to skip the online queue? Many hobby shops take preorders on Topps releases and hold product for pickup. Find one near you in our card shop directory.
