For the 2023 NFL Playoffs and ahead of Superbowl LV, Upland players are able to win the very first NFLPA replicas in a special contest. If you want to learn more about the NFLPA partnership in Upland and all of the Legits that can be collected, just head over to the Upland Guide.

For each playoff game, ten replicas will be created of the top performing player’s memento jersey from each team. If multiple players qualify as the top performer, then Upland will randomly choose one player. The top performer is based on the fire stats on the memento.

What is a Playoff replica? “A distinctive and uncommon item, mirroring the key features of an actual memento. It encompasses all the user interface elements like player images and details, along with game statistics. Additionally, if the original memento has a wearable feature, the replica retains this attribute. Each Playoff Memento Replica is limited to 10 mints, and its fan score is calculated at 70% of the original memento’s score.”

How to win a 2023 NFLPA Playoff Replica?

For each team and each playoff game, be one of the top 10 points holders. For example, if you are on the top 10 leaderboard for Buffalo in the divisional round game, you will be rewarded one of the ten Buffalo replicas for the divisional game.

How to earn points in the contest:

Burn essentials of players who are participating in the playoff games. Learn how to burn essentials here.

  • 1 point for each essential burned of a team participating in the respective game. Example – burn a Buffalo essential during the divisional round burn window. A Buffalo essential from any year is eligible
  • 5 points for each essential burned of the top performing player on the team. Example – (assume Christian McCaffrey is the top performing player on San Francisco in the divisional round). Burn any Christian McCaffrey essential from any year (regardless of team) during the divisional round burn window. This means you can burn an essential from 2023 when he played for San Francisco, or in previous years when he played for Carolina. Note, if you burn the essential from Carolina and he is not the top performing player, you will receive zero points.
  • If the essential meets both criteria above, you would receive points for each requirement.

Where to get essentials?

  • You can mint 2023 team bundles at stadiums to guarantee yourself essentials from that specific team
  • You can mint 2023 mixed essential bundles from the UPX store, where the essentials are from a variety of teams
