Frequently asked
What's the big change in 2026 CFL compared to recent years?
The pack configuration flipped from 8 packs of 12 cards to 16 packs of 6 cards per box. More importantly, Star Rookies cards (81-100) are back for the first time since 2015. There are no memorabilia cards in this product, but you still get two autographs per box on average.
How many autographs should I expect per box?
Two autographs per box on average. Veteran autographs land at 1:10 packs, while Star Rookies autographs are rarer at 1:34 packs. Both have the same parallel tiers as their base counterparts.
What are the Star Rookies and why do collectors care?
Star Rookies are cards 81-100 in the base set, featuring CFL rookies making their first appearance. They're seeded one per pack and haven't been in the flagship Upper Deck CFL set since 2015, making their return a major draw. They have the same parallels as veterans but Gold cards are tougher at 1:4 packs instead of 1:1.
What parallel tiers are in this product?
For both veterans and rookies: Gold (1:1 for vets, 1:4 for rookies), Deluxe /250, UD Exclusives /100, Purple /49 (vets only), and High Gloss /10. You'll also pull autograph parallels of base cards at the stated odds.
How many numbered cards will I get per box?
Eight numbered cards per box on average, plus 22 Gold parallels. The numbered tiers range from /10 (High Gloss) up to /250 (Deluxe).
What's the base set composition?
100 cards total: cards 1-80 are CFL veterans from all nine teams, and cards 81-100 are the Star Rookies. Notable veterans include Nathan Rourke (BC Lions), Zach Collaros (Winnipeg Blue Bombers), and Bo Levi Mitchell (Hamilton Tiger Cats).
Is there any game-worn memorabilia in 2026 CFL?
No. Unlike some previous CFL releases, 2026 Upper Deck CFL does not include game-worn jersey or patch cards. The focus is on base parallels and autographs.
