Fanatics and Topps Extend UEFA Rights Through 2033, Add 1-of-1 Debut Patch Cards to Champions League

Fanatics Collectibles and UC3, the licensing body representing UEFA and top European club teams, have agreed to a six-year partnership extension running from 2027 through 2033. The deal keeps Topps as the official trading card partner for UEFA competitions, including the Champions League. Alongside the announcement, Topps is introducing 1-of-1 Debut Patch cards tied specifically to the UEFA Champions League.

Six years of locked-in rights is a significant commitment, and it signals that Topps UEFA product is not going anywhere — which matters for anyone holding sealed product or building long-term player collections around European football. The 1-of-1 Debut Patch cards are the more immediate hook: true one-of-ones tied to Champions League debuts create a new category of high-ceiling pulls in a market that has historically been underserved compared to American sports. Collectors who have been cautious about UEFA product now have a clearer runway to invest in, and the debut-patch format specifically rewards those who are in early on emerging European talent.
