David Beckham changes trading card partner, signs Fanatics deal
""When I look at how we can continue to grow our soccer business -- which I think is under-penetrated in the collectibles category -- we've had our list of guys we need to get," said David Leiner, Fanatics Collectibles' president of trading cards. "David is right at the top of that.""
""I don't know if it was by design -- if he was very careful about his image, how many autographs he signed throughout his playing career and post-career -- David is a tougher autograph [to find]," Leiner said."
""2026 Premier League Chrome is the first time in about seven or eight years since the last time we were the license holder. Some great rookies, some legends and guys like David in the product.""
David Beckham signed an exclusive agreement with Fanatics covering trading cards, trading card games, stickers, appearances/meet-and-greets and autographed memorabilia. Beckham-signed cards will first appear in 2026 Topps Premier League Chrome, releasing on Feb. 5, 2026. The deal replaces Beckham's prior Panini agreement from 2021. Fanatics Collectibles became the English Premier League's trading card, trading card games and sticker provider in June 2025 and holds rights to UEFA Club Competition, Major League Soccer and Bundesliga cards. Collectors will be able to acquire Beckham-signed jerseys, balls, photos and match-used items from Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
