Arsenal, the English Premier League soccer champions, and Topps, the Fanatics-owned collectables brand, have announced a new, exclusive licensing deal.
The multi-year, global agreement will see Topps become the club’s official trading cards and stickers licensee, producing a range of physical trading cards, stickers, and trading card games.

This will include autographs and match-worn relics from both the men’s and women’s first teams, alongside select legendary former players.
The next product to launch will be the Topps 2026-27 Arsenal Collectors Tin.
Earlier this week, Topps expanded its partnership with fellow Premier League outfit Chelsea to become the club’s official trading card partner, also on a long-term, exclusive deal covering its men’s and women’s teams.
The brand is the flagship trading card brand of Fanatics Collectibles and produces premium trading cards and collectibles across several major sports leagues, including Major League Baseball, American football’s NFL, basketball’s NBA, and the iconic Formula 1 motor racing series, as well as soccer through the Premier League and UEFA.
Arsenal have been very active commercially in recent months, particularly in August when they announced several partnership extensions.
Most notably, the North London-based side renewed their shirt sponsorship and stadium naming rights agreement with Emirates Airline through 2033.
Arsenal additionally extended deals with Hotels.com, Google, and Cadbury.
In other recent developments at Arsenal, the club promoted Omar Shaikh to become their first chief revenue officer (CRO) earlier this month.
Shaikh steps up from being the club's global partnerships and ventures director and takes the reins as CRO following the departure in July of Arsenal's chief commercial officer, Juliet Slot.
