2025 Panini Donruss Football released on September 17, 2025, with a 400-card base set: 300 veterans and legends plus 100 Rated Rookies led by Travis Hunter, Ashton Jeanty, Shedeur Sanders, Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart. Hobby boxes have 18 packs with 1 autograph and 1 memorabilia card, and Mega boxes have 60 cards with an average of 1 hit and 5 exclusive Green parallels. Top chases include Downtown, Gridiron Kings and Rated Rookie autographs. Panini’s NFL license ended after the 2025 season, and Topps makes NFL cards starting in 2026, so 2025 is the last year of NFL-licensed Panini football sets.
