Find out about the 2021 NFL Five Preseason below.

NFL Five 2020 is now available! Last week’s launch giveaway asked participants to name the most powerful card in the new set, and the responses were varied. Overall, Adrenaline emerged as the most popular response – time will tell if it maintains its status after the dust settles on the new metagame! The randomly selected winners:   

• Shannon H. (Derrick Henry)
• Logan P. (Adrenaline) 
• Ryan C. (Not This Sunday)
• Joe R. (Adrenaline) 
• David R. (Patrick Mahomes)

Thanks to all that participated, and watch for two more chances to win in September! 

Panini America’s NFL Five Trading Card Game will begin its first season of Organized Play events next month, kicking off the “NFL Five 2021 Preseason” with a series of online meetups. 

In the interest of safety, the 2021 NFL Five Preseason will be held via Zoom. Eight online events will take place from September to November, featuring five casual tournaments and three “Designer Challenges.” Tournaments will consist of three rounds of exhibition matches, with prizes based solely on participation. Meanwhile, Designer Challenges offer the opportunity for pre-selected fans to play against the game’s creator, Brian Fahmie – followed by a Q&A session after the match.

At the end of each online event, two randomly selected participants will receive an invite to the NFL Five 2021 Kickoff Tournament. This 16-person event will be fully sponsored by Panini America, and it is scheduled to be held in Spring 2021 at a TBA location.*
