Panini soccer cards 2026: release dates at a glance
Unlike Topps, Panini America does not publish a dated release calendar page. Its Coming Soon page shows a countdown when a launch date is set, and "Coming Soon" when it is not. On October 29, only Crown Royale NWSL had an official countdown. For the other three sets, Panini has not posted a date yet. To help you plan, the last column shows the date currently listed by hobby distributors (for example Southern Hobby). Panini has not confirmed those dates, so treat them as estimates.
