Panini EFL 2026/27 Sticker Collection

[CS24]

Starting this thread, even though a bit early, but the new EFL season starts tonight with the EFL Cup first round! (I’ll be watching my beloved Burnley v Notts County on Saturday)

The season opening presentation was yesterday (in Manchester I believe) and Panini logos were everywhere so we will definitely have Panini EFL products this season. Hopefully they learned and will produce a hardcover album and some more accessible card collections this time around. Only 3 months to wait now!

 

[Peakster]

I'm going to Cambridge v Barnet on Saturday.

We may get a hardcover album for the sticker collection - but I don't think we'll get an Adrenalyn type card set this year (although it would be very nice).

I think Panini's contract with the EFL was for a sticker collection and hobby boxes so unless that changes - that is what we will get.

I'm with you all on this, as I see my OG team rapidly go down the leagues it's good I will have some players I have never heard of playing for Leicester in the album! Ha I joke

Hopefully they won't do these parallel stickers direct from clubs again, as paying £8 on eBay for a Port Vale sticker was pushing it!

A great album to have and it may be my only album I will do from packet this winter.

And yes a hardcover album would be desirable

 

[Peakster]

A better quality album (one that doesn't fall apart when you breathe on it), better stock availability and as few parallels as possible.

I actually liked the anniversary stickers - I got all 3 of them last season, but the Blackburn one was really hard to find.

Cambridge v Barnet was a pretty good game.

I just hope to have the possibility to get it in Spain, I was not able to get the first release, lets hope I can't get the second release

 

[Peakster]

Peterborough United and Salford have changed their badges.

Neither is an improvement.

I wonder if the Robbie Williams sticker available at the Port Vale match this weekend is from EFL 2025/26 or is an early sticker from EFL 2026/27

 

[Peakster]

I think it's more of a "one-off" sort of thing.

Not sure I'll be getting one of these unless I can get one for a reasonable price.

 

[GStephens]

No I get that, what I mean is the other stickers have EFL 2025/26 on the back the same as the rest of the collection. I'm curious about where this one is going to fall

 

[Peakster]

One of us is going to have to get one and find out.

 

[Peakster]

Because there is nothing worth collecting at the moment I decided I would revisit last season's EFL collection and get the rest of the Golden Captain parallels. I had about 10 of them and I've picked up the others.

I'll see what people are asking for the Robbie Williams sticker when it comes out.

 

[byoplayer]

Anyone knows where I can find a complete set from the last year sticker collection?

 

[Peakster]

There are several complete sets on ebay in the UK - the cheapest is just over £70, which is not bad.

The Klarer sticker on its own is very hard to find.

It has 2026/27 on the back, so this is the first official sticker from the currently unreleased collection

 

[GStephens]

I’ve had a little look at which other specials we might see this year.

Middlesborough, Crewe & Wolves all turn 150 in either 2026 or 2027. Not too sure about the months so one or two might go into the 2027/28 set instead.

Norwich also turn 125 so they could do something there.

2028 marks 140 years since the founding of the football league so there’s a great opportunity there to do special badges for the teams who will be in the EFL that year.

While I don’t care much about the Robbie Williams sticker, it’s nicely done. The Panini hologram foils will look decent if they’re that format this year.

 

[Peakster]

There are a few of the Robbie Williams sticker on ebay for ridiculous prices, so I think I'll pass on it.

 

[Peakster]

I haven't looked forward more to a sticker collection coming out for a very long time. Hopefully the missteps from last season with the album quality and stock availability will be addressed this time.

Hardcover album please

 

[Peakster]

I will be quite happy with a softcover album that doesn't fall apart in the first 10 minutes after you open it.
