2026 Donruss Baseball arrives with another season of stars from the diamond, including current players, retired greats and top prospects. As has been the case for years, the cards aren't officially licensed by the MLB, so the team and league logos are airbrushed from the images.
The Hobby format is refreshed for 2026, going from 24 packs of eight cards to 12 packs of 16 cards. While the overall card total per box remains the same as last year (192 cards), the Hobby cases drop from 16 to 12 boxes.
Every Hobby box should contain three hits, including autographs and relics.

Relying on the brand's signature style, 2026 Donruss Baseball offers collectors a snapshot of the game's past, present, and future.
Teased signers include Bobby Witt Jr., Eli Willits and Kevin McGonigle.
Base & Parallel Details
The 2026 Donruss Baseball checklist starts with a 200-card base set, including 100 Rated Prospect cards.
Various color borders add a chance for rarity in this lineup.
Falling twice per pack, there are also Optic versions on hand to offer another chase.
Insert Details
Dropping from last year, the 2026 Donruss Baseball inserts fall once per pack instead of two like in 2025.
Look for multiple debuts, including Animations, which showcases the players in a cartoon style.
Alter Ego goes a different direction, adding player-specific images to the background.
On top of that, the new Downtown Duos set has rare Gold (/10) parallels.

The Base Optic Rated Prospects Signatures line is home to up-and-coming players on chromium stock.
Young talent is also ready and waiting in Next Day Autographs.
A brand staple for Donruss, Signature Series features a selection of standouts.
Like in 2025, the Get to Know Autographs line digs a little deeper (View on eBay).
