Soccer Card Release Calendar 2026 — Which Sets Have Lamine Yamal

The full-year schedule of major soccer card releases — every flagship Panini and Topps set with its typical street window, so you know what has already dropped and what is coming next. Rows tagged Yamal on checklist are the ones that actually contain a Lamine Yamal card: he plays in La Liga and the UEFA club competitions, so the Premier League sets that fill much of the calendar have no Yamal card in them at all. Exact on-sale dates shift a little each year; always confirm the release date with the manufacturer.
