Acting as part two of the flagship NHL series, 2025-26 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey offers new base cards and inserts, plus many continuations from Series 1.
As expected, the Young Guns rookie line remains a key part of the product.
Hobby boxes average one numbered card, ratio SP or printing plate, plus six Young Guns and a bunch of inserts.
2025-26 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey Checklist Rundown
The 2025-26 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey checklist is built around young talent and top veterans, featuring a mix of inserts to chase.
Many of the cards in this release build on 2025-26 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey, and some sets will also be part of 2025-26 Upper Deck Extended Series Hockey (TBA).
Base & Parallel Details
Leading the way for 2025-26 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey, the base set takes the card numbering from #251 to #450.
Look for Outbursts and other parallels.

- Clear Cut - 1:48 packs

- Outburst Gold - 1/1
- Printing Plates - 1/1
Young Guns & Parallel Details
However, the Young Guns lineup (1:2 packs; #451-500) is where many collector will focus their attention. Like the base set, there are multiple parallels of the rookie class.
2025-26 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey Young Guns Parallels

- Clear Cut - 1:144 packs
- Deluxe - /250

Insert Details
Offering new and returning options, inserts remain an integral part of the 2025-26 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey checklist.
Debuts include Boomtown (1:10 packs), IYKYK "if you know, you know" (1:10 packs), Let Them Cook (1:8 packs), Vibing (1:5 packs)Â and more.
Also new, Glow-Up (1:5 packs) focuses on the up-and-coming talent across the league.
The foilboard Slaps (1:6 packs) set takes aim at the skilled shooters of the NHL, opting for a horizontal layout.
Many sets are carryovers of Series 1 sets, such as the well-established Dazzlers (#DZ-51 to DZ-100), issued in Dazzlers Blue (1:12 packs), Pink (1:144 packs) and more. At 1:2,880 packs, the Dazzlers Gold edition is particularly elusive. Retail Tins contain a three-card bonus pack with exclusive Orange, Red or Black Dazzlers versions.
In addition, Encore (1:3 packs; #E-101 to E-200), O-Pee-Cee Glossy (Retail exclusive; #OG-26 to OG-50), Sizzle Reel (1:5 packs; #SR-36 to SR-70), and UD Portraits (1:5 packs; #P-31 to P-60) issue fresh cards in the flagship continuation lines.
Collectors also have a very tough chase on their hands, thanks to the returning Incarnations insert from last season. The portrait-based series averages less than 1:10 cases.
Another seasoned favorite, UD Canvas (1:4 packs; #C-121 to C-270) adds more veterans alongside Program of Excellence (1:96 packs), Retired (1:96 packs) and Young Guns (1:24 packs) cards. These add Black & White Variations and Printing Plates.
Estimated Release Date: March 2026 (TBA)
