2025–26 Upper Deck Splendor Hockey: Checklist, Parallels, Odds & Product Guide

Product details

2025–26 Upper Deck Splendor returns as a premium one-card-per-box NHL release with a September 30, 2026 release date reported by Checklist Insider. Each card is an autograph, memorabilia card, or autograph memorabilia card. Upper Deck's official checklist identifies 1,489 individual card-and-version rows, including exact parallel subjects and their serial limits. The checklist labels placements “Random Inserts in Hobby and e-Pack,” which is not a numerical pull rate.

Sets, parallels and chase structure

Official card previews

Explore five card designs from Upper Deck's Splendor sell sheet. Select an image to open it at full size. These are manufacturer promotional examples; the sell sheet says designs and content may change. Relics and signatures pictured are illustrative, and the final Upper Deck checklist governs the released versions and memorabilia types.

Auston Matthews — Borderless Gold

The sell sheet previews a /5 autograph memorabilia design. The final checklist specifies a glove relic for this version.

Wayne Gretzky — Vertical Borderless Black

One-of-one autograph patch design for the Kings legend.

Alex Ovechkin — Black and White Green

Autograph parallel numbered to /8.

Ivan Demidov — Vertical Borderless Rookie Red

Rookie autograph patch parallel numbered to /9.

Matthew Schaefer — Bordered Rookie Black

One-of-one rookie autograph patch design.

Parallel directory and serial numbering

Every directory entry comes directly from Upper Deck's official card-level checklist. “Listed subjects” counts the manufacturer rows for that exact named version; the serial column shows its stated per-card print run. If a set has more than one serial limit, the column lists those limits. This is a print run, not pack odds.

Short prints and insert families

Unlike a broad unnumbered base set, Splendor is built from serial-numbered, named autograph and memorabilia designs. The official table includes 4 Nations Face-Off Auto Patch, Dual Auto Patches, Dual Autographs and Premium Patch; Showpieces Auto Puck and Auto Relic; Splendid Signatures and Swatches; and Cut Signatures. Its “Odds” column says random inserts rather than 1-in-N rates.

Specific cards to locate

Upper Deck's checklist lists Connor McDavid, Alex Ovechkin, Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini and Wayne Gretzky among the player subjects. For each player, filter by name and then by exact set/parallel: a shared player or card code does not mean all versions have the same memorabilia or serial number.

Upper Deck includes a “2017 Update - Showpieces Black Parallel” row in this checklist. It remains under the manufacturer's exact label below. Team names and player associations follow the official file, including historical team associations and All Star Team entries.
