2025-26 Topps Merlin Premier League Soccer

Hobby boxes ship 20 packs with 4 cards per pack. Each box guarantees one autograph and five numbered parallels. Value Blasters are the retail format at $29.99.

The base set features at least 200 players from the 2025-26 Premier League season on chromium stock. Insert subsets include Enchanted Pen, Magic In His Boots, Mask On/Mask Off, and Merlin's Mythical Art. The autograph program spans at least 80 cards across Merlin's Magical Ink, Merlin's Match Ball Signatures, and Mystic Afternoons Autographs subsets.

Each hobby box guarantees one autograph and five numbered cards across 20 packs. The 24-parallel structure means numbered cards range from short prints to lower-numbered colored tiers, though specific per-parallel print runs are not published.

Hobby boxes guarantee one auto and five numbered cards per box. Value Blasters at $29.99 offer chromium pulls without the auto guarantee, making them a reasonable entry point for set builders or casual Premier League fans.

Hobby boxes are currently trading around $234.95 on the secondary market. Presale pricing opened at $229.99 and moved to $239.99 at release, so the live market is sitting right in that range.

Merlin has carved out a real identity in soccer collecting: it brings chromium quality to the Premier League with an insert program that leans into the brand's fantasy-football mythology rather than generic design. The guaranteed auto per hobby box keeps the value proposition honest, and the 24-parallel structure gives both set builders and rainbow chasers something to work toward. For Premier League collectors, this is the chromium release on the calendar.

Watch the autograph checklist as more boxes get opened and subjects get confirmed publicly. Short-print colored parallels of in-form players will move fastest in the weeks after release.
