Panini announced three new NWSL sets on October 13: Donruss Optic, Crown Royale and Prizm Black. Each one brings inserts from Panini's established card brands to women's soccer for the first time, including Kaboom!, Downtown, Color Blast, Stained Glass and Manga.

All three follow 2026 Donruss NWSL. That was Panini's first set after it signed a multi-year deal in March to become the exclusive trading card partner of the league and the NWSL Players Association.

What's in the boxes

Donruss Optic hit shelves October 14. It has a 200-card base set and Downtown, Night Moves, Tunnel Vision, Net Marvels and Pitch Queens inserts. Panini also added Kismet, a new case-hit insert. A hobby box averages three autograph or memorabilia cards, 16 inserts, 16 Rated Rookies, four numbered parallels and 12 more parallels. If you buy a First Off The Line box, you also get an exclusive Pink Shimmer parallel numbered to three.

Crown Royale brings Kaboom! to the NWSL. Expect one autograph, two memorabilia cards, two base parallels and one insert in each hobby box.

Prizm Black has the deepest pack count of the three. A hobby box holds 10 packs of five cards, averaging two autographs, 20 Prizm cards and 10 inserts. Color Blast, Stained Glass and Manga all come from this set.

Release dates

  • Donruss Optic NWSL: October 14
  • NWSL Crown Royale: October 28
  • NWSL Prizm Black: November 20

Retailer DA Card World lists the Crown Royale and Prizm Black dates as projections. You can find all three at Target, Walmart, hobby shops and Panini's own site.

Panini's Optic product info names Trinity Rodman, Sophia Wilson, Marta, Temwa Chawinga, Kenza Dali and Riley Tiernan among the players in the set. If you collect USWNT, Rodman and Wilson are the first names to watch.

Panini will also keep producing its Instant NWSL cards, which mark big moments from the season as they happen.

Panini's women's sports lineup

Panini already holds licenses with the WNBA, the WNBA Players Association and Unrivaled. Jason Howarth, Panini America's senior vice president of marketing and athlete relations, said the company is proud to be "celebrating the league's outstanding athletes and clubs." He added that Panini plans to keep expanding its NWSL products.
