England Reveal 26-Man Squad for 2026 FIFA World Cup: Thomas Tuchel has officially named the 26 players who will represent England national football team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Led by captain Harry Kane, the squad announcement was unveiled through a special live show from Wembley Stadium on the official England app, giving fans a dramatic first look at the players chasing World Cup glory this summer.

Beatles-Inspired Squad Reveal: England’s squad reveal came with a cinematic touch, featuring a film inspired by The Beatles and soundtracked by their legendary hit Come Together. Filmed across New York City, the production blended football and music culture, with each player’s name appearing across famous locations throughout the city.
