Topps has officially launched the Premier League 2025/26 Sticker Collection, celebrating the nostalgia, excitement and community spirit of football sticker collecting with a grassroots football takeover in London.
Marking the release, Topps hosted a special “Surprise-a-Side” event at PowerLeague Battersea, bringing together young players from Dulwich FC and some of football’s most recognisable faces for a day that blended playground football with classic sticker-trading traditions.
Football Legends Meet the Next Generation
Two five-a-side teams faced off in a full Topps pitch takeover, captained by Chelsea legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and popular football content creator Big John. In true sticker-collecting style, the captains were revealed when the children ripped open life-sized Topps sticker packs to discover who would be leading their teams.
Football creator Karel Prince acted as referee and judge, keeping the competition lively as the young players took part in a series of challenges inspired by schoolyard football culture and sticker rituals many fans will remember.
Sticker-Inspired Challenges and Playground Nostalgia
Across the day, participants tackled a range of fun, fast-paced challenges — from hitting giant hanging stickers in goal, to racing against the clock to complete album pages, and even building five-a-side teams using freshly opened sticker packs.
Hasselbaink’s involvement tied directly into the new collection, as he features in the ‘Divine Nine’ subset — a celebration of the most iconic number nines in Premier League history. The collection pays tribute to football legends while introducing modern twists designed to appeal to today’s collectors.
Inside the Premier League 2025/26 Sticker Collection
Designed to capture the colour, history and energy of the Premier League, the Topps Premier League 2025/26 Sticker Collection blends traditional paper stickers with brand-new holographic finishes, colourful parallels and numbered chase cards — including ultra-rare 1/1 Foilfractors.
With 561 stickers to collect across all 20 Premier League clubs, the set offers a mix of nostalgia and rarity that appeals to both long-time collectors and newcomers.
Joining Hasselbaink in the Divine Nine are some of the league’s most explosive forwards, including Alan Shearer, Fernando Torres and Erling Haaland. Meanwhile, the Dominant Duos spread celebrates iconic Premier League partnerships such as Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidić, alongside modern classics like Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.
