2026 Panini Donruss Football releases on October 28, 2026, and it’s the first Donruss football set made without an NFL license. The NFL gave Fanatics exclusive trading card rights in April 2026, so these cards show real players but no NFL team logos or team names. The base set drops to 200 cards. Hobby boxes have 12 packs with 1 autograph and 1 memorabilia card, plus Optic cards. Top chases include Downtown short prints, the new Downtown Duos and Campus Kings, which shows college stars in a Diamond Kings style.
