As every year, the well-known Italian trading card and comic company, Panini, has released the most anticipated cycling card collection of the year, the 2026 Tour de France collection. Let's take a look!
The collection is only available for purchase in stores in countries such as France, Belgium and Switzerland; if you're in other territories, as is our case, it can be purchased through Panini's official website or other online retailers, such as Amazon.
The price of the album, which includes four packs (the packs contain five cards each and are sold individually for one euro), is €4.95. Additionally, the content is available only in French.
Once we start flipping through the album, we can see that the content can be very interesting. On this occasion, we find information and cards about great moments and riders from Spanish cycling at the Tour de France, such as Indurain, Bahamontes, or Contador. A fascinating look back at one of the countries with the greatest presence in the French race, taking advantage of the grand départ in Barcelona.
Continuing with the overview, we find a list of all the stages, also with cards of the finish-line cities. Another distinctive feature of this collection is that, once the race is over, a special pack is sold, with cards featuring the race winners and the winners of each stage. Completing the collection turns the album into an excellent "hall of fame" for this edition of the Tour, to be remembered in the future.
Once we finish reviewing the race, we move on to the teams, where in addition to the classic cards and figures of the riders on each team, we also find some featuring the jersey, the official bike, or a group photo of all the riders on the team.
And to conclude, the collection also devotes a section to the women's edition, with an overview of its route and the best riders from each team.
In short, the 2026 Tour de France card collection is very appealing for collectors and cycling fans alike. We leave you with a photo gallery so you can take a closer look at the album and its cards.
