In a world of screens and social media, the iconic Panini sticker album being an early winner of the World Cup 2026 was not on our bingo card. The old school classic has been the subject of an online frenzy as fans snap up packs of stickers to complete their albums as interest in the tournament ramps up - and England finally takes to the pitch tonight for their first game.

Online stockist including Argos, Sports Direct, GAME, Smyths Toys, Bargain Max, Selfridges and more have sold out of sticker pack bundles celebrating the tournament. Fans are rushing to track down remaining stock to fill the bumper album, which has a whopping 980 stickers for 2026 after the tournament expanded to 48 teams across the group stages.

But there's one place online where they're not only still available but can be delivered by tomorrow. Amazon has ample stock of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Sticker Collection Packs in a wide range of multi-set boxes containing varying quantities, including ones that have sold out elsewhere.

The Sticker Collection Packs start from just 7.50 for 42 stickers, while the priciest option is a 124.95 box containing 100 packs. They also sell boxes of eight, 16 and 50 packs, with each pack containing seven stickers.

Another shop with some limited stock available is Bargain Max, although we've watched them sell out of the smaller multi-set boxes this morning, meaning the only offer available now is the 100 pack box for 124.99. You can shell out 1.99 for next day delivery from Bargain Max, while Amazon customers can enjoy free delivery within 2-3 days or next day delivery for Prime members, reports the Mirror.

The sticker set includes portraits of legendary players like Harry Kane, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as team badges for all 48 teams playing this summer. The frenzy from fans the World Cup enters the final days of the first wave of group games, with England set to play their first fixture on today (June 17).

The Three Lions will face old rivals Croatia in Dallas in the Group L opener. Scotland will then follow up their first World Cup win in 36 years when they play Morocco in Boston on Friday (June 19).

Of course sticker albums are just some of the merch flying off the shelves as fans celebrate the summer of football. For fans yet to secure their new football strip ahead of the games, England fans can get 15% off the new Nike 2026 shirts at Kitbag with the code AFF15, while Scotlands latest adidas home kit is available at JD Sports.

Meanwhile, Argos is selling the FIFA World Cup football for 10 perfect for kicking around with the kids and LEGO fans can build a version of the 2026 logo complete with the trophy for 19.99. There's even a plush version of the World Cup for 10.50 from The Entertainer online.

FIFA announced this week that after the 2030 World Cup they would be severing their long-standing relationship with Panini and instead working with collectables brand Fanatics on new sticker and collector card merchandise for the tournaments. The Panini sticker albums have been a firm favourite with fans for decades, with old completed sets proving hugely popular with collectors. This flurry of interest in the World Cup 2026 set coincides with the announcement of the end of an era for the iconic partnership.

Amazon buyers have been singing the praises of the Sticker Collection Packs, with one happy shopper saying: "Really worth the money. I got Ronaldo and Messi in the first 10 packs."

Another said: "Bought for my Grandson who loves Football Stickers so these were a hit," while a third added in: "Good quality items which were delivered really quickly."
