Topps Midnight Football 2026: release date, box break, rookies and chase cards
Topps Midnight Football is back after a year away. It is a one-pack, high-end Chrome product with a signature black finish, deep colour palettes and after-hours designs, and every Hobby box is built around three Chrome autographs. The 100-card base set includes 37 rookies from the 2026 class alongside today's stars and a few all-time greats.
When is the UK release date?
Topps Midnight NFL 2026 Hobby is expected on 13 November 2026, a week after the First Day Issue edition. Dates are set by Topps and can move. Mania Cards pre-orders ship as soon as stock arrives with us.
What's in a Hobby box?
- 1 pack of 7 cards per box
- 3 Chrome autographs per box (may include redemptions)
- Parallels, inserts and case hits across the set
- Case: 8 sealed boxes, so 24 autographs
Why Midnight? Three autos in one pack is one of the best hit rates in the NFL calendar, and the dark Chrome look makes even base parallels stand out in a PC. It is a premium rip, so it suits collectors who want hits rather than set builders.
Rookies and stars on the checklist
The 2026 rookie class is led by Fernando Mendoza, Jeremiyah Love and Carnell Tate, with Arvell Reese, Jordyn Tyson, Kenyon Sadiq, Cade Klubnik, Makai Lemon, Carson Beck and Zachariah Branch. Autograph signers include Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Joe Montana, alongside Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Caleb Williams.
