2026 Upper Deck AEW Wrestling returns for a sixth season of the flagship All Elite Wrestling brand, bringing some changes to the Hobby and Blaster configurations.
Both formats have reduced the total card output, with Hobby dropping from 144 to 96 cards per box and Blasters dropping from 48 to 36 cards per box.
Hobby averages one autograph, relic or Clear Cut insert as the main hit.
