World Cup 2026 squads: Every player in the summer tournament


All countries have announced their 26-man squads for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico this summer. With 48 teams participating, more players will achieve their goal of appearing in the world's most important football tournament. Each country submitted to FIFA its final squad of between 23 and 26 players (which must include at least three goalkeepers) by the deadline of 2 June. Any injured player can only be replaced by someone from the initial 55-man squad, up to 24 hours before the team's first match in the World Cup. Line-ups were announced throughout May and early June, with much discussion surrounding the final selections. Thomas Tuchel has named his 26-man England squad, but left some names like Cole Palmer and Phil Foden at home, while the squads of other big teams like Brazil, Spain, France and Argentina had plenty of debatable points.
