2025-26 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Details
2025-26 O-Pee-Chee Hockey marks the 20th straight release since Upper Deck took over the brand in 2006.
With another 600-card checklist in the works, O-Pee-Chee focuses on set building, but there are still rare parallels and a rookie bounty puzzle to chase.
2025-26 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Checklist Overview
The O-Pee-Chee base set is broken into two segments, with a slightly shorter printed high series taking up the final 100 slots on the checklist and falling once per pack (1:2 blaster packs). Cards in the high series include 4 Nations Face-Off Stars and 2025-26 Marquee Rookies.
All 600 base cards are covered by a few parallels:
- Blue Border
- Red Border
- Yellow Border (Blaster exclusive)
- Purple Border /49 (Hobby exclusive)
The high series has additional parallels available in hobby boxes:
- Rainbow Foil /350
- Black Rainbow Foil /100
- Green Rainbow Foil /33
- Gold Rainbow Foil /1
The base set also has Retro Variations found once per pack (1:2 blaster), and collectors will chase the Black Border (/100) parallel in hobby boxes.
2025-26 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Inserts Overview
O-Pee-Chee Playing Cards appear for a 10th straight year.
Collectors will find four of the popular hobby-exclusive insert in each box, and the cards come in four levels of rarity:
- Numbers: 1:6 packs
- Jacks, Queens, and Kings: 1:34
- Aces: 1:102
- Jokers: 1:203
O-Pee-Chee Premier inserts return (1:6 hobby packs), as do the hobby-exclusive Diamond Rainbow Parallel (/75).
The toughest insert is the hobby case-hit 3-D Marquee Rookies, which are printed on lenticular stock.
The last chase is the Top Rookie Puzzle Bounty.
Collectors will find one of nine puzzle pieces in every 96 hobby packs (roughly every fifth box), and those who collect all nine pieces can redeem them through Upper Deck’s bounty program for up to three bounty award cards of a top rookie.
