As part of this collaboration, Beckham’s image will be prominently showcased across various Fanatics’ brands, which includes exclusive rights to his memorabilia. The deal also entails a series of public appearances and meet-and-greet events, as announced by Fanatics on their social media channels on Monday morning.

The highlight of this partnership is the introduction of exclusive autographed trading cards. These certified autographed cards will be made available in select Topps Chrome packs starting on February 5.

“Soccer continues to gain in popularity, so I couldn’t be more excited,” stated David Leiner, President of Trading Cards at Fanatics, in an interview with ESPN. “Fanatics will be managing in-venue retail for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, ensuring that all aspects of the event benefit from this growth. A figure like David can significantly elevate the category and attract new fans. We anticipate an incredibly exciting 2026.”
