UD Series 1 hockey 2026-27: Young Guns, release date

2026-27 Upper Deck Series 1 hockey came out in hobby stores on October 7, 2026, with tins and blasters at retail on October 21, 2026, according to Cardlines' release review. Its Young Guns rookie cards are numbers 201 to 250: 49 rookies plus a checklist card of Anton Frondell and Porter Martone, according to Upper Deck's official checklist, which states odds of one Young Guns in every two hobby packs. 13 of them play for Canadian teams, including David Reinbacher of the Montreal Canadiens (222).

2026-27 Upper Deck Series 1 release date

Dates and box contents are from Cardlines' review of October 6, 2026; Upper Deck's own product page does not list them. The odds are from Upper Deck's checklist: 1 Young Guns in 2 packs in hobby, tins, blasters and starter kits, and 1 per hanger pack. Cardlines counts about 6 per hobby box, and fewer in a tin or a blaster than the pack odds suggest, so treat retail counts as averages.

Prices and where to buy

The base Young Guns is the card most collectors chase; the numbered parallels are much scarcer. Kontora has no reference market price for hockey cards yet, so this guide gives no price ranking: compare listings on the set page and on the hockey section before you buy. For pictures, ask the seller for the front and back of the card, with the serial number for numbered parallels.
