UNO Partners with NFL for Collectible Card Game

With the 2024 NFL season near, Mattel has announced UNO is expanding its collectible offerings with the officially licensed UNO Elite NFL, created through a licensing deal with the National Football League (NFL) and NFL Players Association (NFLPA). This new version of UNO features a deck with licensed NFL players from all 32 teams and an array of collectible special-edition UNO foil cards. The first wave of decks includes six players from every team in the league across all positions on the field such as Patrick Mahomes, Justin Jefferson, Josh Allen, Christian McCaffrey, Justin Tucker, Micah Parsons and others.

The UNO Elite NFL starter pack features three types of cards, including 112 cards that play like regular UNO, 56 Player Cards that feature NFL players with one or more actions to form the team roster and four foil cards with premium treatments for fans to play and collect. While the starter pack is all that’s needed to kick off the competition, there are also officially licensed UNO Elite NFL Draft packs that include an assortment of 56 player cards and four foil cards, to give fans more variety in play and collectability.

“Our latest extension of UNO Elite, UNO Elite NFL, is a premium innovation for both fans of UNO and the NFL,” says Ray Adler, vice president, global head, games, Mattel. “UNO fans can now show off their favorite NFL player cards, get competitive with friends and continue to expand their collections with premium foil cards. And each year, we’ll be bringing fans new NFL player cards and new themes to deliver fresh gameplay and more collectability.”

There are 192 player cards in the first release of the UNO Elite NFL with four collectible levels, to make more than 2,000 variations of player card actions. The players featured in the current UNO Elite NFL starter packs and draft packs represent the 2023-2024 team that they played for. Each year, UNO Elite NFL will bring new player UNO cards, and decks may be updated to reflect players who have since retired, rookies or MVPs and new editions to deliver fresh gameplay and more collectibility.

The UNO Elite NFL Starter Pack and UNO Elite Draft Packs are available for pre-order exclusively at Walmart online and will be in-store later this fall.
