No longer licensed by the NFL, the cards feature a selection of former pros and current NIL stars.
On average, each Hobby box should deliver two autographs and two memorabilia cards.

2026 Panini Obsidian Football Checklist Rundown
Although the cards are mostly unlicensed, 2026 Panini Obsidian Football casts a much wider net compared to past editions, thanks to the inclusion of college athletes.
Teased signers include Drew Brees, Gunner Stockton and Peyton Manning.
Base & Insert Details
Base cards (or parallels) appear in every Hobby box, with two cards expected.

There's also an insert per box, including brand staples like Atomic Initials, Vitreous and more.

Look for the all-new Black Stained Glass Duals line.

These duo cards are case hits along with Black Color Blast.

Autograph & Relic Details
Hits occupy the rest of the 2026 Panini Obsidian Football checklist, including one patch autograph and one additional autograph per Hobby box.
Top names are featured in Color Burst Signatures and more.

The auto-relic chase features Lava Jersey Autographs and Orbital Jersey Autographs.

In addition, all Hobby boxes should contain two relics.
Estimated Release Date: TBA
