For many hockey collectors, few annual releases generate as much excitement as Upper Deck SP Authentic Hockey. The 2025-26 edition continues that tradition, bringing back the iconic Future Watch Rookie Autographs while introducing new inserts, premium memorabilia cards, and exciting bounty opportunities.

Whether you're chasing the next breakout rookie, adding Hall of Fame legends to your collection, or searching for rare one-of-one cards, this year's product offers plenty to get excited about.

Future Watch Rookie Autographs

The centerpiece of every SP Authentic release remains the legendary Future Watch Rookie Autograph.

Numbered to 999 copies, these cards continue to be among the hobby's most recognizable rookie cards and are often considered long-term cornerstones for NHL stars.

For collectors looking to build rookie collections that hold lasting value, Future Watch Autos remain one of the most desirable cards in modern hockey.

Future Watch Parallels

Beyond the autograph versions, collectors can also chase several stunning Future Watch parallels:

• Limited Red
• Limited Blue (#/399)
• Limited Green (#/199)
• Limited Gold (#/99)
• Limited Black (1-of-1)

These unsigned versions give collectors another exciting way to complete rookie rainbows while adding scarce parallels to their collections.

Future Watch Auto Patch Cards

If autograph rookies aren't enough, SP Authentic raises the stakes with beautiful Future Watch Auto Patch cards.

These premium cards combine:

• Hard-signed autographs
