U.S. Postal Service Reveals Its 2027 Stamp Lineup

The U.S. Postal Service has announced a first group of stamp subjects for 2027, with designs honoring sports figures, marking celebrations and featuring flowers, vegetables and mythical creatures.

USPS said Monday that the list is partial. More subjects will be announced in the coming weeks and months, and the preliminary designs may change.

Among the planned honorees are baseball great Willie Mays, who will appear on the 50th stamp in the Black Heritage series, and University of Tennessee basketball coach Pat Summitt.

Other planned issues include the Year of the Goat, a new U.S. flag stamp marking the flag's 250th anniversary, Colorful Blooms and a Veggies Forever booklet featuring photographs of 10 vegetables.

The lineup also includes stamps intended for wedding mail. A two-ounce wedding invitation stamp will be paired with a one-ounce With Love Forever stamp suitable for RSVP notes and thank-you cards. A separate invitation series will offer several colors for envelopes weighing up to one ounce.

USPS also plans a Cure Childhood Cancers semipostal stamp. Net proceeds from its surcharge will go to the National Institutes of Health for childhood cancer research.

The announcement previews next year's program. It does not mean the stamps are already on sale or that all issue dates have been set.
