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.
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.
2025-26 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey Base Parallels
- Outburst Silver - 1:15 packs
- Clear Cut - 1:48 packs
- Deluxe - /250
- UD Exclusives - /100

- 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.
Some of the expected names include Ben Kindel, Matthew Schaefer, Michael Misa, Sam Dickinson and more.
Like the base set, there are multiple parallels of the rookie class.

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) 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 Blue (1:12 packs), Pink (1:144 packs) and more. At 1:2,880 packs, the Gold edition is particularly elusive. Retail Tins contain a three-card bonus pack with exclusive Orange, Red or Black 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 4, 2026
