Brisbane Lions 2026 Premiers Card Set: Buyer's Guide

Brisbane Lions 2026 Premiers Card Set: Buyer's Guide

The 2026 Brisbane Lions AFL Premiers Limited Edition Card Set is live at selectcards.com for AU$49.00. Select Cards is printing just 4,000 of them, every card in premium gold foil, with free shipping on pre-orders. Here's what to know before you order.

What is the 2026 Brisbane Lions Premiers Set?

Select Cards produces a limited premiers set for each flag winner, and this one marks something genuinely rare. Brisbane's 2024-26 three-peat is only the third in the AFL era, joining the club's own 2001-03 dynasty and Hawthorn's 2013-15 side, and the first time any team has done it twice. The Lions earned it the hard way: down 17 points late in the final quarter at the MCG on 26 September 2026, they kicked the last four goals to beat Fremantle 14.12 (96) to 12.17 (89) in front of 100,023 fans, with Logan Morris sealing it with a minute to go. Fremantle's Shai Bolton won the 2026 Norm Smith Medal despite being on the losing side, the first player to do so in 21 years, which tells you exactly how tight it was before the Lions' final-quarter blitz.

Every one of the 25 cards gets premium gold foil treatment across the full checklist, from the header card to the team photo card, all packaged in a protective plastic box. At AU$49.00 with free shipping on pre-orders, it's a clean, affordable way to own a piece of the three-peat.

What's in the 2026 set?

The set contains 25 cards total: one header card, 23 player cards, and one team photo card. Select hasn't released the official checklist yet, but the full player rundown typically drops closer to the ship date. Based on the Grand Final and previous premiers sets, here's who to expect:

  • Will Ashcroft: equal second in Norm Smith Medal voting, orchestrated the comeback
  • Harris Andrews
  • Charlie Cameron: key contributor in the final-quarter surge
  • Dayne Zorko
  • Lachie Neale
  • Logan Morris, who kicked the premiership sealer with a minute to go
  • Zac Bailey, Kai Lohmann, and Cam Rayner

How does the 2026 set compare to previous Brisbane premiers sets?

Select has run Gold and Platinum tiers for recent Brisbane sets. The 2024 Gold set (AU$49, 6,000 print run) still has stock. The 2025 Gold set (AU$49, 4,000 print run) is nearly gone, with fewer than 200 remaining at time of writing. The 2025 Platinum set (AU$349, 26 cards numbered to 100, including a Dayne Zorko signature card) sold out completely. The pattern is consistent: Platinum sells out fast, Gold sticks around but at a smaller print run than its predecessor.

The 2026 set matches the 2025 Gold spec exactly: AU$49, 25 cards, 4,000 sets. That smaller run compared to 2024's 6,000 means there are fewer to go around this time. No Platinum version has been announced for 2026 as of 28 September 2026. Once your set arrives, snap a photo of each card in CardLoft to keep your collection logged and organised.

Should you pre-order, and where do you buy it?

Pre-orders are open right now at selectcards.com, free shipping included. The set ships at the end of November 2026. The official Lions album is also available as a bundle add-on (album sold separately at AU$39.95), which gives you somewhere to display all 25 cards properly.

If Select does announce a 2026 Platinum version, the 2025 Platinum sold out, so selectcards.com is the place to watch. For Lions collectors looking to mark the three-peat, this is the obvious set to have on the shelf. Already collecting AFL cards?

Frequently asked questions

When does the 2026 Brisbane Lions Premiers Set ship?

Select Cards expects to ship the set at the end of November 2026. Pre-ordering now locks in your copy and includes free shipping.

Is there a Platinum version of the 2026 set?

No Platinum version has been announced for 2026 as of 28 September 2026. The 2025 Platinum (AU$349, numbered to 100) sold out, so keep an eye on selectcards.com if one is announced.

How limited is a print run of 4,000 sets?

More limited than the 2024 Gold set, which had a 6,000 print run and still has stock. The 2025 Gold set had the same 4,000 run and has fewer than 200 remaining, so it does thin out over time.

What if the checklist isn't finalised before I order?

Pre-ordering locks in your set at the current price with free shipping. Select typically releases the full checklist closer to the ship date, so you won't be waiting long.

Where can I buy the set?

Directly from selectcards.com, where pre-orders are open now. The Lions album bundle is also available there.
