Overview

• The 2025–26 Topps Basketball set releases on October 23, with preorders opening Friday at 12 p.m. ET.
• This marks Topps’ first licensed flagship NBA release since 2009–10 following Fanatics’ exclusive deals with the league and players union.
• The collection features a 300-card base set, combo cards, autographs, super short prints, and specialty rookie and relic inserts, including 1980–81–style rookie autos.
• Topps’ preview shows Cooper Flagg autograph cards alongside stars such as LeBron James, Victor Wembanyama, and Stephen Curry, plus a triple-rookie autograph with Dylan Harper and Kon Knueppel.
• Launch events are scheduled for October 23 at NBA Stores in New York City and Los Angeles with planned appearances by Knicks players and Chris Paul, as Flagg’s exclusive Fanatics/Topps deal and strong auction results fuel collector interest.
