2026 Panini Absolute Countdown Calendar Football again puts the Kaboom into holiday collecting. The big change this time is the lack of NFL licensing.
The boxes highlight a mix of retired pros and current NIL athletes, including Calvin Johnson, CJ Carr, Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, Larry Fitzgerald and Trinidad Chambliss.
As in past years, the packaging allows room for 24 numbered sections, each containing a pack. This acts as an Advent calendar leading up to Christmas.
