TOPPS NOW debuted for the UEFA in 2018, building on the huge success of MLB Topps Now cards which were released after every game baseball game in the 2017 season.

A huge innovation in “the hobby”, TOPPS NOW gives collectors the chance to own a card of a particular moment almost immediately after the action takes place.

Vini Jr scores in the UEFA Champions League final? Yamal makes his debut? Haaland breaks yet another record? TOPPS NOW has all of these covered. These are individual cards available online at Topps.com. Your Moments, Your Heroes, Your Cards!


How Does it Work?

UEFA TOPPS NOW cards are available following every matchday featuring the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League, UEFA Women’s Champions League and Ballon d‘Or.

We’ll feature all of the biggest moments, milestones and goals after the matches. These cards will only be on sale for a limited amount of time on TOPPS.COM (each product page has a countdown timer). At the end of each sales window we’ll publish a ‘Print Run‘ or ‘PR‘ so you can see how many cards were made. The cards and moments will never be printed again so this is your chance to own a piece of football history!

Top tip – The cards are a great way to enter into ‘the hobby‘ without jumping straight into purchasing a hobby box. These cards are aimed at adult collectors, where you can use all of your football knowledge to buy and trade cards. Look out for rookies and career defining moments for the best investments. To buy or trade cards you can join many trading card channels on social media, or visit auction websites. If you aren’t ready to jump into the world of trading just yet, you can simply collect your favourite player or team, this is how most people start off.  

Occasionally, for big moments, we throw in a special ‘relic card‘ (memorabilia from the match), or a genuine autograph card from top players. These cards are available with lucky orders and are pretty rare, so you could order a card and end up with an additional super-valuable ‘chase card‘. Keep an eye out on Topps Social Channels for these amazing opportunities.

Top tip – You can buy multiples of the same card, with reduced pricing for the more you buy. You can see options for ‘add to cart‘ at checkout. If you think it’s an investable moment, or you are chasing a lucky memorabilia card, buying more than one is a way to double-down. Also, you can buy ‘bundles‘ which means multiple cards of different players. This is cheaper than buying all individually.  


Memorable Cards

We’ve had some massive cards over the years for UEFA TOPPS NOW featuring some of the biggest players in the game. The highest selling and second highest-selling UEFA TOPPS NOW cards of all time feature FC Barcelona‘s Lamine Yamal. 21,029 cards were sold to commemorate his UEFA Champions League debut and a massive 20,328 cards were printed for his first goal in the competition.

The only player to come close to this is Endrick, the top rookie of 2024-25, who sold 14,266 cards when he became the youngest UCL goalscorer in history.
