Launch of the 2025-26 EuroLeague Panini Contenders Collectible Card Collection

This new series will be available for purchase starting March 25, 2026. Collectors can find it at specialized retailers, collectible card stores, on the Panini America official website, and on major online marketplaces.

This inaugural edition introduces the globally recognized Contenders format to EuroLeague fans and collectors, blending the league's rich heritage with a modern, premium collecting experience. The collection highlights the full spectrum of EuroLeague excellence, featuring legendary players, current superstars, and emerging prospects from across the entire competition. At its core is the "Season Ticket" base set, a quintessential classic of the Contenders lineup, complemented by a wide array of limited-edition parallels, numbered from /299 down to highly sought-after one-of-one cards. This offers collectors multiple exclusive tiers and "chase" opportunities. The collection also boasts a dynamic mix of inserts and special editions, including fan-favorite concepts such as:

• EuroLeague Legends and Iconic Contenders (celebrating the greatest of all time)
• Superstar Die-Cuts and Team Quads
• Ultra-rare Super Short Print (SSP) inserts like Kaboom!, License to Dominate, and Passport Stamped

Exceptional Autograph Offerings

Furthermore, one of the hallmark features of the Contenders brand is its autograph content, and this EuroLeague edition certainly delivers. Each Hobby box typically contains an average of two autographs, drawn from various thematic sets such as:

• Veteran Ticket and Rookie-style Ticket Autographs
• EuroLeague Ink and MVP Contenders Autographs
• Dual-signed Rivalry Ticket cards highlighting iconic matchups. This emphasis on signed content strengthens the connection between fans and the stars of Europe's premier competition.
