2026-27 SP Hockey Checklist Rundown
Unlike UD's Hobby releases, 2026-27 SP Hockey keeps things more simplified, with just a base set, a few inserts and three autographs.
Base & Parallel Details
Part of a 130-card series, the 2026-27 SP Hockey checklist opens with 100 base veterans.
This year, SP leans heavily into die-cuts, including multiple base parallels.
2026-27 SP Hockey Base Parallels List
- Die-Cut - 1 per pack
- Green Wonder - /499
- Pink Galaxy Die-Cut - /399
- Hyper Red Die-Cut - /199
- Blue Squared Die-Cut - /99
- Orange Lava Die-Cut - /50
- Purple Glitter Die-Cut - /25
- Gold Beam Die-Cut - /10
- Black Diamond Die-Cut - 1/1
The remaining 30 cards in the main lineup are part of the Premier Prospects subset (#101-130), with one rookie in every other pack. This marks a substantial shift for UD, as the SP Hockey brand has long been associated with the Rookie Authentics cards, which are no longer part of the product.
These new rookie cards offer a different run of die-cut parallels, including the Tin-exclusive Purple Die-Cut.
Premier Prospects Parallels
- Die-Cut - 1:8 packs
- Purple Die-Cut - 1:12 packs (Tin exclusive)
- Pink Die-Cut - /499
- Red Die-Cut - /399
- Teal Die-Cut - /299
- Magenta Die-Cut - /199
- Blue Die-Cut - /99
- Orange Die-Cut - /50
- Green Die-Cut - /25
- Gold Die-Cut - /10
- Black Die-Cut - 1/1
Insert Details
Moving to the inserts, 2026-27 SP Hockey offers several new choices while removing the brand staple Authentic Profiles series.
Appearing in every box, the familiar Holo FX (1:8 Blaster; 1:12 Tin) is the most common. These also add Gold (1:160 packs) and Black (1/1) parallels.
The next insert grouping combines to average one per box, including Great Futures (1:40 packs), In Colour (1:40 packs), Stars Align (1:40 packs), Super Stoppers (1:40 packs) and Supremacy (1:40 packs).
All sets except Great Futures come in the following parallels:
- Red - /199
- Purple - /99
- Pink - /25
- Green - /10
- Gold Spectrum - 1/1
From there, rarity arrives in 2026-27 SP Hockey thanks to four short-printed sets: Historic Figures (1:266 packs), Maximum Force (1:400 packs), Reflections (1:800 packs) and SPectacular Talent (1:200 packs).
None of the chase sets have parallels.
Autograph Details
Finally, while autographs are possible in 2026-27 SP Hockey, they can be very difficult to uncover.
This auto trio highlights a mix of veteran and rookie standouts:
- Authentic Signatures (1:1,500 Blaster; 1:1,000 Tin)
- Rookie Profiles Signatures (1:160 Blaster; 1:100 Tin)
- SP Style Auto (1:400 Blaster; 1:300 Tin)
Estimated Release Date: February 2027 (TBA)
