Offering new inserts alongside seasoned favorites, 2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey gives NHL fans their first look at the new season.
The budget-friendly product marks the official start of the 2025-26 collecting year.
On average, each Hobby box contains five parallels, 14 inserts and one rare short print.
2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Checklist Rundown
Unlike most Upper Deck releases, 2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey is geared more to the simple side of collecting, relying on inserts and parallels. As a result, there are no traditional box hits like autographs or relics to count on.
Another element of this set — and other early-season products from UD — is that the rookies must have debuted in '24-25 to be included. This means there are generally no recent NHL Draft picks available in packs. However, Upper Deck accounts for this with Rookie Redemptions.
2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Base & Parallel Details
The 2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey checklist opens with a 250-card base set. This lineup works in 200 veterans and 50 high-series short prints (1:2 packs) featuring top stars and rookies.
Parallels are the same as past years with four different Script versions and the one-of-one Printing Plates.
The Gold Script parallels are exclusive to the Blaster Bonus Packs.
2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Base Parallels List
- Silver Script (Base - 1:5 packs; SPs - 1:20 packs)
- Gold Script - Blaster Bonus Pack exclusive (Base -1:4 packs; SPs - 1:20 packs)
- Super Script - /25
- Black Super Script - 1/1
- Printing Plates - 1/1
The base set also adds a much tougher chase via the Base SPs/Rookies Photo Variations (1:200 packs).
2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Redemption Details
For rookie fans who can't wait to start their collection, 2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey supplies rare cards that can be redeemed for TBA rookies.
The main Rookie Redemptions series, falling 1:400 packs, is broken down by division.
Even more challenging, the 2025 NHL #1 Draft Pick SP Redemption card covers one top rookie with a base version (1:2,500 packs) and a Gold parallel (1:25,000 packs).
2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey Insert Details
As usual, inserts fill in the rest of the 2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey checklist.
The brand staple Colors & Contours set is a returning option, with Gold (/250), Green (/20) and Purple (/3) versions. One apparent change is that UD didn't note any base series.
Otherwise, all inserts in 2025-26 Upper Deck MVP Hockey are new choices.
Coming to Your Rink (1:7 packs) identifies top duos, Net Presence (1:6 packs) is for offensive stars with elite skills around the goal, Mascot Battle (1:16 packs) hypes the rivalry between mascots, and Rising to the Occasion (1:6 packs) looks to the game-changing players.
Highlighting standout goalies, Laser Focused comes in Red (/399), Blue (/99) and Purple (/10) editions.
More debuts are found via Hello My Name is Stickers (1:14 packs), for top young stars and rookies, and Mascot Stickers (1:9 packs).
