World Cup is just around the corner! And World Cup kits are finally here!

For the first time, 48 nations will compete across 12 groups, producing 104 matches in Canada, Mexico and the United States—and considerably more shirts for supporters to argue about before anyone has even kicked a ball. Adidas, Nike and Puma have completed their major tournament collections, with designs stretching far beyond the usual red, white and blue colour swaps to explore national flags, historic shirts, local craft, architecture, street culture, wildlife and the occasional properly left-field idea.

Our complete World Cup 2026 kit guide travels through all 12 groups and every competing nation, covering each supplier, home and away design, qualification story and tournament record. Whether you are searching for the shirt you will wear throughout the summer, scouting the next collectable or simply deciding which country won the unofficial fashion competition, here is every World Cup 2026 kit—and the story stitched into it.

Group A has not simply turned up—it has raided the national archives and dressed for the occasion. México brings the Aztec Sun Stone back to its famous green home shirt, while South Africa revives the energy of its unforgettable 2010 World Cup look. South Korea unleashes the tiger on its home kit before covering the away shirt with hibiscus flowers, and Czechia rounds things off with a deep-red tribute to its Euro 1996 heroes and an icy-white away design inspired by the country’s celebrated crystal craftsmanship. Four nations, eight shirts, and very little interest in playing it safe.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: Mexico returns to its traditional deep green with a large Aztec-inspired graphic across the front, recalling the country’s much-loved 1998 World Cup jersey. Red and white details finish the collar and sleeves, while “Somos México” appears beneath the back collar.
• Away Kit: A white base is covered with a subtle grey Grecas pattern inspired by the stepped forms found throughout traditional Mexican art and architecture. Dark green and red trim preserve the national colours, while the adidas Trefoil replaces the modern Performance logo.
• Qualification: Mexico qualified automatically as one of the 2026 World Cup’s three host nations alongside Canada and the United States.
• World Cup Record:
  • Mexico’s best finishes came on home soil, reaching the quarter-finals in 1970 and 1986.
  • El Tri also reached the Round of 16 at seven consecutive tournaments between 1994 and 2018.

As the first country to host the World Cup three times, Mexico needed a collection worthy of the occasion. adidas responded by revisiting the Aztec-inspired design of El Tri’s much-loved 1998 shirt and giving the away kit a cleaner look rooted in the country’s art and architecture.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: South Africa’s home shirt retains the familiar yellow base and green trim associated with Bafana Bafana. Inspired by the country’s memorable 2010 jersey, the design updates that look with a cleaner construction and details celebrating South Africa’s 12 official languages.
• Away Kit: The away shirt reverses the colours with a deep green base, vertical tonal stripes and gold adidas branding. A structured fold-over collar finished with white and gold trim gives it the appearance of a classic football shirt rather than a simple colour swap.
• Qualification:
  • South Africa won CAF qualifying Group C after recording five victories and three draws.
  • A decisive 3–0 win over Rwanda on the final matchday carried Bafana Bafana past Benin and Nigeria and secured their first World Cup appearance since 2010.
• World Cup Record:
  • South Africa previously appeared in 1998, 2002 and 2010 but exited during the group stage each time.
  • Their highest finish came in 2002, when they placed 17th and narrowly missed the Round of 16 on goals scored.

Sixteen years after bringing the World Cup to Africa, Bafana Bafana returned to the tournament wearing a kit that proudly revisits the colours and memories of 2010.

• Supplier: Nike
• Home Kit: South Korea’s traditional red shirt is covered with a darker tonal pattern inspired by the Korean tiger, a national symbol associated with strength, courage and protection. Black side panels and sleeve cuffs frame the design, while white and metallic-gold details brighten the Nike Swoosh.
• Away Kit: The away jersey moves into unfamiliar territory with a lavender-purple base covered in an abstract floral pattern. Darker purple panels and lime-green details sharpen the softer colours, while a hidden tiger emerging from flowers inside the collar connects it to the home shirt.
• Qualification:
  • South Korea finished unbeaten at the top of its AFC third-round qualifying group with six victories and four draws.
  • A 2–0 win over Iraq in Basra secured an 11th consecutive World Cup appearance.
• World Cup Record:
  • South Korea’s best performance came as co-host in 2002, when the Taegeuk Warriors defeated Portugal, Italy and Spain on their way to fourth place.
  • It remains the best finish achieved by an Asian nation at the men’s World Cup.

• Supplier: PUMA
• Home Kit: Czechia’s deep-red home shirt pays tribute to the national team that reached the UEFA Euro 1996 final. The design features references to the country’s double-tailed lion, while silver detailing, navy panels, and patterned sleeve cuffs complete the look.
• Away Kit: The away shirt uses an icy-white base covered by a subtle crystal-inspired pattern. Matte-gold accents celebrate Czech craftsmanship and creativity, giving the design a cleaner, more elegant look than the home kit.
• Qualification:
  • Czechia finished second behind Croatia in its qualifying group before surviving two dramatic play-off shootouts.
  • It defeated the Republic of Ireland 4–3 on penalties and then beat Denmark 3–1 on penalties after another 2–2 draw, securing its first World Cup appearance in 20 years.
• World Cup Record:
  • As an independent nation, Czechia’s only previous appearance came in 2006, when it exited during the group stage.
  • Its Czechoslovak predecessor finished runner-up in 1934 and 1962 and reached the quarter-finals in 1938 and 1990.

After two decades away—and two nerve-shredding penalty shootouts—Czechia finally returns to football’s biggest stage with a pair of kits that connect its modern identity to some of the country’s proudest footballing moments.

Group B comes in with four teams, each with four very different styles, featuring Canada celebrating its first home World Cup with maple leaves, split-red designs, and an away shirt that looks like cracked ice. Switzerland keeps its home kit simple and traditional before showing off a bright neon-green alternate. Qatar stays true to its roots with its maroon flag and desert dunes, and Bosnia & Herzegovina marks its return with pinstripes inspired by local designs.

• Supplier: PUMA
• Home Kit: Switzerland’s home shirt applies the country’s famous precision to a classic red-and-white palette. Inspired by the graphic details found inside modern Swiss passports, its Helvetic-red base carries a kinetic tonal pattern, crisp white accents and a prominent Swiss cross. Even the chest logos contain a hidden trick, illuminating red beneath ultraviolet light.
• Away Kit: The away jersey moves into less traditional territory with a pale turquoise base, dark indigo details, and a topographic pattern resembling the contours of Switzerland’s mountainous landscape. The design continues the passport theme introduced on the home shirt while giving it a cooler, more adventurous identity.
• Qualification:
  • Switzerland qualified automatically after finishing first in UEFA Group B ahead of Kosovo, Slovenia and Sweden.
• World Cup Record:
  • Entering the 2026 tournament, Switzerland’s best performances were three quarter-final appearances in 1934, 1938 and 1954.
  • The team had also reached the Round of 16 in four of the previous five tournaments, although the quarter-finals had remained out of reach since hosting the competition in 1954

• Supplier: Nike
• Home Kit: Canada’s fiery-red home shirt places a large split-tone maple leaf at the centre, pointing north as a symbol of the team’s ambition and continued rise. Subtle details influenced by Canadian outdoor clothing add texture, while darker red panels prevent the design from becoming another routine national-team jersey.
• Away Kit: The away jersey presents a darker interpretation of the “True North,” covering its black base with fractured grey, blue and white graphics inspired by cracks spreading across ice. Red side panels preserve the national colours, while a frozen maple leaf etched like the trail of a skate blade connects the design to Canada’s winter-sports heritage.
• Qualification:
  • Canada qualified automatically as one of the tournament’s three co-hosts alongside Mexico and the United States.
  • FIFA formally confirmed all three host nations’ automatic places on February 14, 2023.
  • The tournament marked Canada’s second consecutive World Cup appearance following its return in 2022, which ended a 36-year absence.
  • It was also the first time Canada hosted the men’s World Cup, with matches staged in Toronto and Vancouver.
• World Cup Record:
  • Before 2026, Canada had appeared at two World Cups — Mexico 1986 and Qatar 2022.
  • The team exited during the group stage on both occasions, losing all six of its matches.
  • Canada finished the 1986 tournament without scoring, but Alphonso Davies claimed the country’s first men’s World Cup goal against Croatia in 2022.
  • Junior Hoilett added Canada’s second World Cup goal against Morocco later in the same tournament.

For the first time, the men’s World Cup crossed the border and planted its flag on Canadian soil. Toronto and Vancouver were preparing to welcome the world, but for Les Rouges, this was about more than hosting matches—it was an opportunity to turn a growing football nation into a genuine World Cup country, with millions of Canadians standing behind the maple leaf.

• Supplier: Kelme
• Home Kit: A deep navy base is sharpened by fine white-and-yellow pinstripes running vertically down the shirt. Coordinated detailing around the crew neck and sleeve cuffs keeps everything neat, while the restrained design allows Bosnia & Herzegovina’s traditional colours to carry the identity.
• Away Kit: The colours are reversed for a predominantly white shirt featuring royal-blue raglan sleeves and alternating blue-and-yellow pinstripes. A tonal geometric pattern adds texture to the sleeves and body, while “Bosna i Hercegovina” appears beneath the rear collar and “Dream Big Dream BiH” is hidden inside it.
• Qualification:
  • Finished second in its European qualifying group to earn a place in the UEFA play-offs.
  • Drew 1–1 with Wales after Edin Džeko’s 86th-minute equalizer, progressing 4–2 on penalties.
• World Cup Record: Second appearance back in 2014, and now in 2026

Bosnia & Herzegovina did not take the quiet route back to the World Cup. Consecutive penalty-shootout victories over Wales and four-time champion Italy delivered one of qualification’s most dramatic stories, with Bajraktarević holding his nerve when an entire country needed him to. The kits give that return a suitably personal identity. Created for Kelme with input from Sarajevo-based designer Haris Stambolć, the collection avoids an anonymous catalogue look in favour of national colours, local involvement and a hidden message encouraging the Dragons to dream big. After waiting 12 years to return, they have earned the right to do exactly that.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: Qatar’s unmistakable maroon covers the home shirt, with darker serrated lines running vertically through its centre to represent the jagged boundary separating the maroon and white sections of the national flag. Matching adidas details keep the palette controlled, while “Qatar” appears in Arabic beneath the back collar.
• Away Kit: A crisp white base is crossed by an abstract grey pattern inspired by the shapes and movement of Qatar’s desert dunes. Dark-maroon accents appear on the collar, crest and adidas details, while the returning Trefoil gives the landscape-inspired design a subtle retro finish.
• Qualification:
  • Topped its second-round group with five victories and one draw from six matches.
  • Goals from Boualem Khoukhi and Pedro Miguel secured first place and Qatar’s first World Cup qualification earned through competitive qualifying.
• World Cup Record: Second appearance at the Qatar World Cup in 2022 and now in 2026.

Group C places five World Cup titles, Africa’s best-ever finish and two very long absences into the same section. Brazil keeps its famous yellow home shirt before handing the away kit to Jordan Brand, Morocco works traditional embroidery and national patterns into its red and white collection, and Scotland returns after 28 years dressed in enough navy and tartan to ensure nobody mistakes where it came from. Haiti waited even longer—52 years—only for FIFA to order the historical artwork removed from its shirts before the tournament. It leaves Group C with four completely different kit stories, although Brazil arriving with a Jumpman logo has a lot of explaining to do.

• Supplier: Nike (Home) and Jordan Brand (Away)
• Home Kit: Brazil’s 2026 home shirt keeps the familiar canary-yellow base, adding green trim around a rounded collar inspired by the jersey worn during the country’s 1970 World Cup victory. A distorted Brazilian-flag pattern is knitted into the fabric, giving the design some texture without interfering with one of football’s most recognisable colour combinations.
• Away Kit: Jordan Brand takes control of the away shirt, using royal blue, black, aqua and yellow alongside its signature elephant print. The pattern draws inspiration from some of Brazil’s most dangerous animals, including the poison dart frog, jaguar and anaconda, while the Jumpman replaces the usual Nike Swoosh for the first time on a national-team jersey.
• Qualification:
  • Carlo Ancelotti took charge during the final stage of qualifying, becoming Brazil’s first permanent foreign head coach.
  • Vinícius Júnior scored in a 1–0 victory over Paraguay to confirm Brazil’s place at its 23rd consecutive World Cup.
• World Cup Record:
  • Brazil is the only country to have appeared at every men’s World Cup since 1930.
  • Record: Five championships — 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002.
  • Also finished runner-up in 1950 and 1998.
  • Four of its five World Cups since winning in 2002 have ended at the quarter-final stage.

Brazil’s home jersey is not the place for a complete redesign, as the yellow shirt, green trim and five stars remain exactly where supporters expect them, while the 1970-inspired collar and knitted flag graphic introduce enough detail to make this version feel new. When you already own the most famous colour combination in international football, you know there’s another World Cup coming right up. However, this year, Nike has experimented with the away kit—or, more accurately, handed it to Jordan Brand. It is the first national-team football jersey to carry the Jumpman, bringing elephant print, Brazilian wildlife and streetwear influence into a shirt traditionally finished in straightforward blue while still being Brazil.

• Supplier: PUMA
• Home Kit: Morocco’s deep-red home shirt uses green side panels and gold branding, with the federation crest positioned in the centre of the chest. Traditional Moroccan embroidery is reworked around the buttoned collar and sleeve cuffs, giving the jersey considerably more character than simply placing a pattern across another standard PUMA template.
• Away Kit: The same embroidery returns against a white base, but PUMA replaces the home shirt’s stronger red and green details with a more restrained gold colourway. The ornate pattern forms a bib-like panel inspired by Moroccan zellige tiles, rugs and traditional textiles, creating something closer to a tailored shirt than the average football jersey.
• Qualification:
  • Competed in CAF qualifying Group E alongside Tanzania, Niger, Zambia and Congo.
  • Became the first African nation to qualify for the 2026 World Cup after defeating Niger 5–0 in September 2025.
  • Won all eight of its qualifying matches and conceded only two goals.
  • Finished 11 points clear at the top of its group, completing one of the strongest qualifying campaigns anywhere in the world.
• World Cup Record:
  • Previous appearances: Six — 1970, 1986, 1994, 1998, 2018 and 2022.
  • Fourth place in 2022.
  • Became the first African and Arab country to reach a World Cup semi-final.
  • Defeated Belgium, Spain and Portugal during its historic run in Qatar.

Morocco arrives in 2026 carrying considerably more pressure than it did four years ago, which tends to happen after beating Belgium, eliminating Spain and Portugal, and becoming the first African and Arab nation to reach a World Cup semi-final. The Atlas Lions eventually finished fourth, but their run in Qatar changed how the team is viewed and made another strong performance. There is also a much larger date waiting on the calendar, as Morocco will join Spain and Portugal in hosting the 2030 World Cup—the first time the men’s tournament will be staged across Africa and Europe.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: Scotland returns to the World Cup in its traditional dark navy, with embossed Saltire crosses worked across the body and another flag detail placed beneath the rear neckline. The federation crest and adidas Performance logo move to the centre, while considerably thicker Three Stripes run across the shoulders because apparently normal-sized stripes were not Scottish enough.
• Away Kit: The away shirt switches to a bright scarlet-coral base covered in thin navy pinstripes, recalling the colours of Scotland’s 1999 alternate jersey. White shoulder stripes, a retro adidas Trefoil and a small thistle beneath the back collar complete a design that should be considerably easier to spot after several pints in the stands.
• Qualification:
  • Topped UEFA qualifying Group C ahead of Denmark, Greece and Belarus to earn direct qualification.
  • Entered its final match needing to defeat Denmark at Hampden Park to avoid the play-offs.
• World Cup Record:
  • Previous appearances: Eight — 1954, 1958, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986, 1990 and 1998.
  • Scotland remains the only country to have played at eight World Cups without progressing beyond the opening round.
  • Finished the 1974 tournament unbeaten but was eliminated on goal difference.

• Supplier: Saeta
• Home Kit: Royal blue with a red collar, white trim and subtle mountain pattern
• Away Kit: White with a red collar and lightly textured sleeves
• Third Kit: Deep red with white cuffs and detailing
• Qualification:
  • Finished first in the final round of CONCACAF Group C
  • Recorded three wins, two draws and one defeat
  • Sealed qualification with a 2–0 victory over Nicaragua
  • Played every “home” qualifier at neutral venues, primarily in Curaçao
• World Cup Record: Haiti’s only previous World Cup ended in the 1974 group stage.

The United States turns its flag into two home-soil statement pieces, Australia splits its collection between 2006 nostalgia and the colours of a sunrise, Paraguay works the country’s red soil into its famous stripes, and Türkiye brings traditional Ebru marbling onto both jerseys for its first World Cup in 24 years. There are stars, stripes, gradients, camouflage and enough national symbolism to fill a small museum—although thankfully, everything still looks considerably better on a football shirt.

• Supplier: Nike
• Home Kit: The Stripes jersey uses a sail-coloured base covered by curved red bands that darken as they move down the body, making the American flag appear as though it is moving in the wind. Midnight-navy trim keeps the pattern under control, while the gradient continues into the U.S. Soccer crest and a custom Stripes typeface completes the uniform.
• Away Kit: The Stars jersey takes the quieter route with a deep obsidian base that appears almost black from a distance. Stars are knitted directly into the fabric and become more visible as the light changes, while chrome finishes on the Swoosh and crest bring some of the jewellery-inspired swagger requested by the players.
• Qualification:
  • Qualified automatically as one of the tournament’s three host nations alongside Canada and Mexico.
  • FIFA confirmed the co-hosts’ automatic places in February 2023.
  • Entered the draw as a Pot 1 nation and was placed in Group D.
• World Cup Record:
  • Appearances: 12, including the 2026 tournament.
  • Reached the quarter-finals in 2002
  • Previously hosted the competition in 1994 and reached the Round of 16.

The United States had waited 32 years to stage another men’s World Cup, and another plain white jersey was unlikely to survive the occasion without complaints. Nike instead gave the co-host two very different interpretations of the same flag — stripes for supporters who want to be visible from the opposite side of the stadium and stars for everyone who would prefer to wear the shirt with jeans once the match is over. Development began in 2023 with direct input from players including Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Matt Turner and Ricardo Pepi, who were asked about everything from colour and fabric weight to how the kits should make them feel. Their answers included “sophisticated,” “luxurious” and “swag,” which sounds like a fairly demanding brief for a football jersey—but the contrast between the two design suggestions.

• Supplier: Nike
• Home Kit: Australia returns to its familiar sport-gold and mystic-green combination with a clean design inspired by the Socceroos’ 2006 World Cup jersey and Nike’s Total 90 era. Green covers the notched collar, side panels, Swoosh and crest, while matching gradient shorts add most of the movement to an otherwise restrained home uniform.
• Away Kit: The alternate shirt moves from coral across the shoulders into dark teal through the lower half of the body, creating a gradient inspired by an Australian sunrise. A lenticular federation crest changes appearance as the player moves, giving the considerably more experimental design another layer of movement.
• Qualification:
  • Won all six matches during the second round, scoring 22 goals and conceding none.
  • Recovered from a difficult start to the third round after Tony Popovic replaced Graham Arnold as head coach.
  • Finished second in Group C behind Japan to claim an automatic qualifying place.
  • Came from behind to defeat Saudi Arabia 2–1 in Jeddah, with Connor Metcalfe and Mitch Duke scoring the decisive goals.
• World Cup Record:
  • Appearances: Seven, including the 2026 tournament.
  • Made its World Cup debut in 1974 before waiting 32 years to return in 2006.
  • Best result: Round of 16 in 2006 and 2022.
  • The 2026 competition is Australia’s sixth consecutive World Cup appearance.

Twenty years after Australia returned to the World Cup wearing one of the most recognisable kits in Socceroos history, Nike has gone back to 2006 for inspiration. The home shirt keeps things comfortably familiar, while the coral-and-teal away kit appears to have caught an Australian sunrise halfway through changing colour. One looks back at the campaign that began Australia’s run of six consecutive appearances; the other suggests the team has no intention of spending the next 20 years living entirely on nostalgia.

• Supplier: PUMA
• Home Kit: Paraguay keeps its traditional red-and-white vertical stripes but gives the red sections a rough, speckled finish inspired by the country’s tierra colorada. Blue trim around the collar and sleeve cuffs completes the colours of the national flag, while the campaign title De la Tierra a la Piel—“From the Earth to the Skin”—connects the shirt to the dusty pitches where many Paraguayan players first learned the game.
• Away Kit: The alternate shirt moves in a completely different direction, covering a dark-navy base with abstract teal and bright-blue graphics inspired by Paraguay’s natural terrain. White branding and a monochrome federation crest provide some relief from the busy pattern, while a small star appears beneath the rear collar.
• Qualification:
  • Finished sixth in the CONMEBOL standings to claim South America’s final automatic qualifying place.
  • Gustavo Alfaro inherited a team that had collected only five points from its opening six matches.
  • Paraguay then went unbeaten through Alfaro’s first nine qualifiers, including victories over Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
  • A 0–0 draw with Ecuador secured qualification with one match remaining and ended a 16-year absence from the World Cup.
• World Cup Record:
  • Appearances: Nine, including the 2026 tournament.
  • Reached the Round of 16 in 1986, 1998 and 2002.
  • Quarter-finals in 2010.

• Supplier: Nike
• Home Kit: Türkiye moves away from the white home shirts of recent years and returns to a sport-red base covered by a darker tonal pattern inspired by Ebru, the traditional Turkish art of creating marbled designs on water. A subtle horizontal band runs across the chest, placing the white crescent and star at its centre, while “Türkiye” appears beneath the rear collar.
• Away Kit: The white alternate restores Türkiye’s most familiar football look, using a red chest band to frame the national flag. The same swirling Ebru pattern sits inside the band, while red side panels and matching details on the collar, shorts and socks connect it to the home kit.
• Qualification:
  • Finished second behind Spain in its European qualifying group to reach the UEFA play-offs.
  • The victory ended Türkiye’s 24-year absence from the World Cup.
• World Cup Record:
  • Three Appearances, including the 2026 tournament.
  • Made its World Cup debut in 1954 but exited during the group stage.
  • Third place in 2002.

Group E brings together four teams at very different points in their World Cup stories, and their shirts tell the world a different story from each nation. Germany closes more than seven decades with adidas by wearing designs loaded with references to its past, while Côte d’Ivoire celebrates its return after 12 years through traditional textiles and tropical colour. Ecuador comes in with its yellow home kit to play things safe before dressing the away shirt in navy and gold. Lastly, you have Curaçao, the smallest nation ever to qualify, arriving for its debut with Caribbean waves on the home jersey and the colourful streets of Willemstad splashed across the away. Four countries, three continents.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: Germany’s traditional white shirt is crossed by a black, red and gold diamond pattern inspired by several of the country’s most recognisable tournament jerseys, particularly those worn in 1990, 1994 and 2014. Black trim finishes the collar and cuffs, four championship stars sit above the DFB crest and a small “adidas Germany – Seit 1954” label marks the beginning of the partnership.
• Away Kit: Germany wears navy at a World Cup for the first time, combining the dark base with white branding, mint details and repeating geometric chevrons. The colours reference blue training tops worn across several decades, while the retro Trefoil and another “Seit 1954” sign-off make sure nobody forgets that this is adidas’ final tournament with the team.
• Qualification:
  • Lost 2–0 to Slovakia in its opening European qualifier, immediately making a short campaign more complicated than expected.
  • Recovered by winning its remaining five matches and finishing first in Group A.
  • Scored 16 goals and conceded only three across its six qualifiers.
• World Cup Record:
  • Appearances: 21, including the 2026 tournament.
  • Championships: Four — 1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014.
  • Finished runner-up in 1966, 1982, 1986 and 2002.
  • Entered 2026 after consecutive group-stage eliminations in 2018 and 2022.

Germany and adidas have been together since 1954, collecting four World Cups and producing enough famous shirts to keep the retro-reissue business occupied indefinitely. That partnership ends after 2026 when Nike takes over, so the final tournament collection understandably spends plenty of time looking through the archive. The home jersey gathers familiar diamonds, chevrons and national colours into one last white shirt, while the away kit borrows from decades of training wear and restores the Trefoil for the farewell.

There is plenty of history here, but the team wearing it has more immediate business to handle. Germany failed to escape the group stage at each of the last two World Cups, meaning a beautifully nostalgic shirt will only remain beautifully nostalgic if the football improves. adidas has completed its part of the goodbye; Germany now needs to make sure it lasts longer than three matches

• Supplier: PUMA
• Home Kit: Côte d’Ivoire’s unmistakable orange returns with a tonal pattern inspired by traditional Ivorian textiles, green side panels and three stars above the crest marking the country’s Africa Cup of Nations titles.
• Away Kit: The white away jersey is considerably more adventurous, mixing mint-green palms with pale-orange botanical and sunburst graphics for a design that brings the warmth of the Ivorian landscape onto the shirt.
• Qualification:
  • Finished top of CAF Group F, one point ahead of Gabon.
  • Completed the campaign unbeaten with eight victories and two draws.
  • Scored 25 goals without conceding once—about as convincing as qualification campaigns get.
• World Cup Record: Four appearances, 2006, 2010, 2014 and now 2026.

• Supplier: Marathon Sports
• Home Kit: Ecuador keeps its familiar yellow base but sharpens it with a navy V-neck collar, red accents and patterned side panels. A subtle linear texture prevents the front from looking completely plain, while “Soñar, Trascender y Hacer Historia”—Dream, Transcend and Make History—appears beneath the rear collar.
• Away Kit: The away jersey takes the smarter route with a deep-navy base, structured polo collar and copper-gold detailing across the crest, Marathon logo and trim. Additional texture appears along the side panels, although from the front it could almost pass for something intended for dinner after the match.
• Qualification:
  • Finished second in the CONMEBOL standings, behind world champions Argentina.
  • Collected 29 points despite beginning the campaign with a three-point deduction.
  • Lost only two of its 18 qualifiers—fewer defeats than any other South American team.
  • Conceded just five goals across the entire campaign and qualified with two matches remaining.
• World Cup Record: Five appearances — 2002, 2006, 2014, 2022 and now 2026.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: The Blue Wave finally receives a World Cup shirt worthy of its nickname. A vivid-blue base is joined by yellow trim and lighter circular waves across the sleeves, connecting the design to the Caribbean Sea surrounding the island.
• Away Kit: Curaçao’s away jersey turns the colourful streets of Willemstad into one of the tournament’s most distinctive designs. Its pastel-yellow base is crossed by pink, turquoise and orange stripes inspired by the historic buildings of Punda and Otrobanda, with blue detailing completing a shirt that would be difficult to confuse with anyone else’s.
• Qualification:
  • Finished first in the final-round Group B, one point ahead of Jamaica.
  • Secured qualification with a tense 0–0 draw away to Jamaica on the final matchday.
  • Became the fifth Caribbean nation to qualify for a men’s World Cup.
• World Cup Record: First Appearance

The Netherlands turns its famous colour up to an almost radioactive shade of orange, Japan moves from a hazy blue horizon to one of the tournament’s finest striped away kits, and Sweden dives enthusiastically into 1970s pop culture without officially asking ABBA to reunite. Tunisia provides the finishing touch with eagle feathers stretched across its shoulders, giving the Eagles of Carthage a literal interpretation of their nickname. Between three former World Cup finalists, Japan’s most promising generation and Tunisia’s perfect qualifying defence, this is not an especially comfortable group—but everyone should look good while making one another miserable.

• Supplier: Nike
• Home Kit: Nike has not reinvented Dutch orange so much as turned up its saturation until it becomes impossible to ignore. Described by the KNVB as the brightest Oranje shirt ever produced, the vivid orange base is paired with black trim and an innovative lenticular crest that appears to change as the player moves.
• Away Kit: The away jersey revives the Netherlands’ historic all-white look, interrupted by a horizontal orange gradient across the chest. Its oversized central crest, clean geometry and “microscopic gradient” concept lean into the country’s reputation for precise, experimental design.
• Qualification:
  • Finished top of UEFA qualifying Group G.
  • Completed the campaign unbeaten with six victories and two draws.
  • Scored 27 goals while conceding only four.
  • Confirmed qualification with a 4–0 victory over Lithuania.
• World Cup Record:
  • 12 Appearances including 2026
  • Runners-up in 1974, 1978 and 2010.
  • Reached the quarter-finals at Qatar 2022.
  • Overall record before 2026: 55 matches, 30 wins, 14 draws and 11 defeats.

Few countries have contributed more to World Cup history without actually winning the trophy, leaving the Netherlands with three runner-up medals and enough near-misses to make optimism feel mildly dangerous. Ronald Koeman’s side nevertheless arrives unbeaten in qualifying and wearing a home shirt so bright that the KNVB introduced it by firing an orange laser into the sky from its campus in Zeist. Subtle it is not, but subtlety has never filled an entire stand with orange—or made it look as though someone adjusted the stadium’s colour settings by mistake. The white away kit shows considerably more restraint, translating Dutch experimentation into a clean design that should remain wearable long after the tournament ends.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: Japan’s traditional Samurai Blue is covered with abstract ash-blue lines inspired by the hazy point where the sky meets the sea. White adidas branding, red collar detailing and a Japanese flag beneath the rear neckline complete a shirt built around the country’s horizon.
• Away Kit: The off-white away jersey features 12 fading vertical stripes in different colours. Eleven represent the players on the pitch, while the central red stripe represents the supporters—the heart of the team—and recalls the rising sun of Japan’s flag. A black Trefoil logo and monochrome crest give the design a welcome retro finish.
• Qualification:
  • Became the first country outside the three hosts to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
  • Secured its place with a 2–0 victory over Bahrain in March 2025.
  • Won all six matches in the second qualifying round, scoring 24 goals without conceding.
  • Qualified from the third round with three matches still remaining—the earliest confirmation in Japan’s history.
• World Cup Record:
  • 8 Appearances including 2026
  • Has qualified for every World Cup since making its debut in 1998.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: Sweden’s traditional yellow shirt receives a distinctly 1970s makeover through embossed floral patterns and vinyl-inspired graphics influenced by the country’s pop culture. Blue shoulder panels, white adidas stripes and “SVERIGE” written inside the collar complete a design that begins with football heritage and ends somewhere near an ABBA record sleeve.
• Away Kit: Three shades of blue form vertical stripes and large rippling graphics across the away jersey, drawing on the bold patterns of 1970s Swedish design. Pale-yellow trim and a retro Trefoil logo keep the shirt connected to the national colours without turning it into a simple reversal of the home kit.
• Qualification:
  • Failed to win any of its six group qualifiers and finished bottom of UEFA Group B.
  • Reached the play-offs through its UEFA Nations League ranking.
  • Defeated Ukraine 3–1 in the semi-final, with Viktor Gyökeres scoring a hat-trick.
  • Beat Poland 3–2 in the final after Gyökeres scored the decisive goal in the 88th minute.
• World Cup Record:
  • 13 Appearances including 2026
  • Runners-up as host nation in 1958.
  • Finished third in 1950 and 1994.
  • Reached the quarter-finals at its previous appearance in 2018.

Sweden’s route to the World Cup makes considerably more sense if you begin reading from the play-offs. The Blågult finished last in their qualifying group without winning a match, changed managers, and were rescued by their Nations League ranking before Viktor Gyökeres scored four goals across two play-off victories. It is difficult to imagine a more chaotic route back after eight years away, but adidas has responded with a collection steeped in cheerful 1970s nostalgia. The yellow home shirt borrows from floral prints, vinyl records, and Sweden’s most famous musical era, while the rippling blue away design looks ready for either a World Cup match or a particularly stylish reunion tour.

• Supplier: Kappa
• Home Kit: Tunisia switches to a crisp white base with red branding and a feather graphic spreading across the shoulders and sleeves. The pattern takes inspiration from the Eagles of Carthage nickname, giving an otherwise restrained shirt a clear national identity.
• Away Kit: The away jersey uses the same feathered construction but reverses the colours, placing white graphics across a vibrant red base. It is essentially the home shirt’s louder sibling, which is perfectly acceptable when the original idea is this strong.
• Qualification:
  • Finished top of CAF qualifying Group H with 28 points.
  • Completed the campaign unbeaten with nine wins and one draw.
  • Scored 22 goals without conceding once across all 10 matches.
• World Cup Record:
  • 7 Appearances including 2026
  • Became the first African team to win a World Cup match when it defeated Mexico in 1978.

Group G may contain the tournament’s closest approximation to a travelling museum exhibition. Belgium turns Gothic stained glass and René Magritte’s surrealism into two wildly different shirts, while Egypt places pyramids, hieroglyphics and an ankh across its red-and-white PUMA collection. Iran uses the endangered Asiatic cheetah to carry a conservation message onto the world stage, and New Zealand finishes the tour with silver ferns, natural landscapes and the Four Winds of Aotearoa. Belgium is the only one of the four to have previously escaped a World Cup group, so there is plenty to prove once everyone finishes admiring the artwork.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: Belgium’s red home jersey borrows its graphic structure from the Gothic stained-glass windows found throughout the country. Small Red Devils and Red Flames symbols are repeated across the pattern, while black-and-yellow trim completes the colours of the Belgian flag.
• Away Kit: The light-blue, pink and white away shirt pays tribute to René Magritte and Belgium’s surrealist movement. Layered spheres, footballs and pitch markings create its dreamlike pattern, while “Ceci n’est pas un maillot”—This is not a jersey—appears inside the collar as a play on Magritte’s famous declaration that his painted pipe was not actually a pipe.
• Qualification:
  • Finished top of UEFA qualifying Group J.
  • Completed the campaign unbeaten with five wins and three draws.
  • Confirmed qualification on the final matchday with a 7–0 victory over Liechtenstein.
  • Extended its unbeaten run in World Cup qualifying, which dates back to 2009.
• World Cup Record:
  • 15 Appearances, including 2026.
  • Third place in 2018.
  • Reached the semi-finals in 1986 and 2018.
  • Eliminated during the group stage at Qatar 2022.

Belgium spent much of the previous decade being introduced as international football’s golden generation, only for its trophy cabinet to remain stubbornly unconvinced. Several familiar names—including Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Thibaut Courtois—return for another attempt, although the kits have moved well beyond the usual red shirt and artistic optimism. The home jersey turns Gothic architecture into football graphics, while the surrealist away kit might be the only shirt capable of prompting a debate about whether it technically exists. It does, of course, and adidas has produced one of the tournament’s most culturally specific collections while Belgium tries to prove that its remaining title ambitions are not equally imaginary.

• Supplier: PUMA
• Home Kit: Egypt’s red home jersey uses darker angular graphics inspired by pyramids, ancient hieroglyphics and the energy of modern Cairo. The shapes radiate outwards from a central ankh symbol, while black and gold detailing gives the shirt a suitably regal finish.
• Away Kit: The white away jersey takes a quieter approach, using tonal grey pyramid shapes and abstract graphics influenced by desert sands and shifting light. A black crew-neck collar and matching PUMA logos keep the pale design from disappearing completely.
• Qualification:
  • Finished top of CAF qualifying Group A with 26 points.
  • Completed the campaign unbeaten with eight wins and two draws.
  • Scored 20 goals while conceding only two.
• World Cup Record:
  • Four Appearances, including 2026.
  • Entered the 2026 tournament still searching for its first World Cup victory.

Egypt possesses seven Africa Cup of Nations titles, one of football’s most recognisable players and a history stretching back to the second World Cup—yet success on the global stage has remained strangely elusive. The Pharaohs return after missing Qatar with Mohamed Salah joined by Omar Marmoush and a PUMA collection that naturally reaches for pyramids, hieroglyphics and the ankh. It would almost be suspicious if an Egyptian kit managed to avoid all three. The original shirts also placed seven gold stars above the crest to recognise the country’s continental titles, but FIFA required their removal during the World Cup and asked PUMA to replace the gold squad numbers with more legible white ones. Ancient power, modern ambition and a little tournament administration.

• Supplier: Majid
• Home Kit: Iran’s traditional white home shirt places a large grey Asiatic cheetah watermark across the lower-right side of the body, accompanied by a spotted pattern on the sleeves. Red branding and green, white and red cuff detailing complete a design intended to raise awareness of the critically endangered animal.
• Away Kit: The red away jersey repeats the same structure, using a darker tonal cheetah graphic that becomes more visible as light moves across the fabric. It is a straightforward colour reversal, although the conservation message gives it considerably more meaning than the average template.
• Qualification:
  • Finished top of AFC third-round Group A with 23 points.
  • Recorded seven wins, two draws and one defeat across 10 matches.
  • Secured qualification with two games remaining after drawing 2–2 with Uzbekistan.
• World Cup Record:
  • Seven Appearances, including 2026.
  • Has qualified for four consecutive tournaments.
  • 18 matches, three wins, four draws and 11 defeats.

• Supplier: PUMA
• Home Kit: Despite the All Whites nickname, New Zealand’s home shirt is predominantly black, covered with a tonal silver-fern pattern inspired by Aotearoa’s natural landscapes. White branding provides the contrast, while “Aotearoa” appears beneath the rear collar.
• Away Kit: The pale Silver Mist away jersey uses swirling graphics inspired by Ngā Hau e Whā, or the Four Winds. Its flowing lines represent air, breath and the easterly, westerly, southerly and northerly winds moving across New Zealand, with black side panels grounding the lighter design.
• Qualification:
  • Claimed the OFC’s first guaranteed World Cup place.
  • Completed qualification with five wins from five matches.
• World Cup Record:
  • Three Appearances, including 2026.
  • Entered 2026 still searching for its first World Cup victory.

Group H brings together four football nations operating at very different points in their history, with regaining European champions Spain, arriving with one of the tournament’s most gifted squads, while Uruguay carry the considerably heavier baggage of two World Cups, four stars and more than a century of expectations. Saudi Arabia already proved against Argentina in 2022 that dismissing the Green Falcons can ruin an afternoon, and Cabo Verde enter their first World Cup after finishing above Cameroon in qualification.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: Spain’s familiar red returns with fine yellow pinstripes inspired by the national flag and crest, supported by navy details and “ESPAÑA” across the back of the neck.
• Away Kit: An off-white jersey resembling the pages of an old book, covered in pyrite-toned illustrations inspired by Spain’s literary heritage and finished with burgundy and gold accents.
• Qualification:
  • Finished first in UEFA Group E
  • Five wins and one draw
  • Scored 21 goals and conceded two
  • Qualified after a 2–2 draw with Türkiye
• World Cup Record:
  • 17th appearance, including 13 consecutive tournaments
  • Champions in 2010
  • Fourth place in 1950
  • Round of 16 in 2022

Spain arrive as reigning European champions and one of the tournament favourites, although recent World Cup history provides a useful warning against assuming beautiful football automatically survives the knockout rounds. La Roja have not progressed beyond the last 16 since lifting the trophy in 2010, but an unbeaten qualifying campaign—five consecutive wins without conceding before Türkiye finally interrupted the routine—suggests Luis de la Fuente’s side are considerably better equipped this time. The kits follow a similar balance between tradition and reinvention: the home shirt makes subtle adjustments to Spain’s unmistakable red, while the away jersey turns centuries of literary culture into something resembling required reading with shorts.

• Supplier: Capelli Sport
• Home Kit: A deep-blue jersey covered in a geometric pattern, framed by navy sleeves and side panels with red trim around the V-neck collar and cuffs.
• Away Kit: A white interpretation of the same design, using a subtle tonal pattern alongside blue branding and red-and-blue trim inspired by the national flag.
• Qualification:
  • Finished first in CAF Group D, four points ahead of Cameroon
  • Secured qualification with a 3–0 victory over Eswatini
• World Cup Record:
  • First appearance and the smallest country by land area ever to qualify

• Supplier: Nike
• Home Kit: Uruguay’s unmistakable sky blue is paired with navy piping and a traditional white polo collar, while the Estadio Centenario’s tower and the phrase “Uruguay Nomá” appear inside the neck.
• Away Kit: A dark obsidian jersey covered by electric-blue, armour-like wings across the chest and shoulders, with graphics influenced by the Estadio Centenario and the winged figure on the original World Cup trophy.
• Qualification:
  • Finished fourth in the CONMEBOL standings
  • Seven wins, seven draws and four defeats
  • Collected 28 points, level with Brazil, Paraguay and Colombia
• World Cup Record:
  • 15th appearance
  • Champions in 1930 and 1950
  • Hosted and won the inaugural World Cup
  • Fourth place in 1954, 1970 and 2010

The first world champions qualified for a fifth consecutive edition under Marcelo Bielsa, collecting memorable victories over Brazil and Argentina before a less convincing middle section turned their campaign into considerably harder work than expected. Nike’s first World Cup collection for La Celeste handles that history cleverly: the home shirt looks suitably traditional, while the darker “La Gloria” away design transforms the windows, sunrise and Art Deco architecture of Montevideo’s Estadio Centenario into something resembling ceremonial armour. The four stars remain above the crest as of Uruguay’s two World Cups and Olympic titles from 1924 and 1928—because when you helped establish international football’s History, modesty becomes optional.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: A deep-green jersey filled with geometric graphics inspired by the Kingdom’s decorated doorways, alongside purple details drawn from Saudi Arabia’s seasonal lavender fields and symbols including the falcon and palm tree.
• Away Kit: A pearlescent-white shirt carrying a bespoke woven pattern influenced by traditional Saudi clothing, finished with deep-green touches, royal-gold branding and the palm-tree-and-crossed-swords emblem across the back.
• Qualification:
  • Reached the fourth round after finishing third behind Japan and Australia
• World Cup Record:
  • Seventh appearance and Third consecutive qualification
  • Round of 16 in 1994
  • Defeated eventual champions Argentina at Qatar 2022

Group I combines one tournament favourite with three teams routed to North America as France arrives after contesting the previous two finals and possesses enough elite players to make their substitutes’ bench look mildly unfair, but none of their opponents should be treated as decorative scenery. Norway won all eight qualifiers, scored 37 goals and finally gave Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard a World Cup stage — Senegal reached a third consecutive tournament after completing African qualification unbeaten, and as for Iraq, they survived 21 matches to claim the 48th and final available place.

• Supplier: Nike
• Home Kit: A deep royal-blue jersey with tonal FFF graphics, metallic-copper branding and a white polo collar carrying subtle tricolour details. The copper references the Statue of Liberty’s original appearance before oxidation turned it green.
• Away Kit: The “Liberté” jersey introduces mint green to France’s uniform for the first time, recreating the statue’s present-day patina with copper branding, fine vertical texture and tricolour sleeve cuffs.
• Qualification:
  • Finished first in UEFA Group D
  • Five wins and one draw
  • Scored 16 goals and conceded four
  • Secured qualification by defeating Ukraine 4–0
• World Cup Record:
  • 17th appearance
  • Champions in 1998 and 2018
  • Runners-up in 2006 and 2022
  • Eighth consecutive qualification

France has reached the previous two World Cup finals, so anything short of another serious title challenge will likely be labelled a crisis—an entirely reasonable standard for a squad that can lose several world-class players and still find several more waiting in the wings. Les Bleus completed qualification unbeaten under Didier Deschamps, with Kylian Mbappé leading another generation expected to compete for the country’s third star. Nike has connected both shirts through France’s most famous gift to the United States—the home jersey uses metallic copper to represent the Statue of Liberty when it was new, while the mint-green away kit recreates the colour produced by more than a century of oxidation. It is part football uniform, part chemistry lesson, and a considerably more thoughtful host-country tribute than printing “USA” inside the collar.

• Supplier: Nike
• Home Kit: A red jersey dominated by an oversized navy Scandinavian cross outlined in white, recreating the Norwegian flag across the body. Tonal ornamentation inside the cross references the medieval Urnes Stave Church.
• Away Kit: A complete black-out design with a monochrome crest and Swoosh, supported by Viking-inspired graphics and a bespoke rune-influenced typeface named “Taakeferd,” meaning “journey through the fog.”
• Qualification:
  • Finished first in UEFA Group I
  • Won all eight qualifiers
  • Scored 37 goals and conceded five
  • Confirmed qualification by defeating Italy 4–1 in Milan
• World Cup Record:
  • Fourth appearance
  • First appearance since 1998
  • Recorded a famous 2–1 victory over Brazil in 1998

The Vikings have spent 28 years watching the World Cup from home, even though they have had enough talented players to make their absence hard to understand. That wait ended strongly — Ståle Solbakken’s team won every qualifying game, beat Italy twice, and scored 37 goals, including an 11–1 win over Moldova that briefly made international football look like a beginner’s video game. Erling Haaland scored 16 goals in eight matches, while Martin Ødegaard provided the creativity behind a generation finally able to live up to its reputation. Nike has smartly made the return feel Norwegian, using the national flag in the home shirt’s design and giving the team an intimidating all-black alternative, with Viking symbols and runic letters.

• Supplier: PUMA
• Home Kit: A white jersey filled with softly coloured illustrations inspired by Dakar’s famous Car Rapide minibuses, incorporating lions, baobab trees and traditional Senegalese symbols with green, yellow and red details.
• Away Kit: A deep-green shirt built around a vibrant kaleidoscopic panel running vertically through the centre, using symmetrical geometry and national colours to represent rhythm, movement and the energy of Senegalese culture.
• Qualification:
  • Finished first in CAF Group B, two points ahead of DR Congo
  • Seven wins and three draws
  • Scored 22 goals and conceded three
  • Qualified by defeating Mauritania 4–0
• World Cup Record:
  • Fourth appearance
  • Third consecutive qualification
  • Quarter-finals in 2002

Senegal comes to the World Cup as an exciting underdog hoping to succeed —as the Lions of Teranga have moved past the group stage in two of their three past tournaments and qualified without losing under Pape Thiaw, allowing only three goals even though they needed a dramatic comeback win over DR Congo to lead the group. PUMA’s home shirt is much more eye-catching than its white base first shows, turning the colourful Car Rapide buses of Dakar into a moving mix of lions, baobab trees, and local designs. The green away jersey is simpler but still bold, with a central pattern that seems to move with the players—fitting for a team known for speed and strength.

• Supplier: JAKO
• Home Kit: A white jersey covered in a tonal arrangement of circular clusters and interlocking diamonds inspired by ancient mosaics from Uruk, completed by a V-neck and sleeve cuffs in the colours of the Iraqi flag.
• Away Kit: A green reversal of the home design, carrying the same Mesopotamian mosaic pattern, white graphics and flag-coloured trim.
• Qualification:
  • Finished third in the third round of AFC qualification
  • Placed second behind Saudi Arabia in the fourth-round group
  • Defeated the United Arab Emirates in the Asian play-off
  • Claimed the tournament’s final place by beating Bolivia in the inter-confederation play-off
• World Cup Record: First appearance since 1986 and Second Appearance in 2026

Group J includes the current world champions, two countries coming back after long breaks, and a newcomer joining for the first time. Argentina naturally gets most of the attention, arriving with three stars above their badge and uniforms made for another title win, but the other teams show much more variety than the group first seems to have. Austria return after 28 years wearing black sleeves for the first time and designs inspired by Viennese coffeehouses; Algeria end a 12-year break with uniforms inspired by Saharan sand dunes and desert oases, and Jordan appear in their first World Cup with kufiya diamond patterns, national eagles, and a black third shirt honouring the Black Iris. Argentina may be the favourites, but when it comes to the uniforms, Group J also belongs to the teams celebrating their return—or, in Jordan’s case, experiencing the World Cup for the first time.

• Supplier: adidas
• Home Kit: Argentina’s white-and-sky-blue stripes return with a gradient running through three different shades of blue, each representing one of the country’s World Cup victories in 1978, 1986 and 2022.
• Away Kit: A black jersey covered in curling blue-and-white foliage inspired by fileteado porteño, the elaborate decorative art once painted across Buenos Aires carts, buses and shopfronts.
• Qualification:
  • Finished first in the CONMEBOL standings
  • Twelve wins, two draws and four defeats
  • Scored 31 goals and conceded ten
  • Finished nine points clear of second-placed Ecuador

  • Champions in 1978, 1986 and 2022
  • Runners-up in 1930, 1990 and 2014
  • Appeared at every tournament since 1974

Argentina enter as defending champions, reigning Copa América winners and the strongest team from South American qualification, which seems a reasonable amount of pressure before Lionel Messi’s possible final World Cup is even mentioned. Lionel Scaloni’s side finished nine points clear at the top and produced its clearest statement by defeating Brazil 4–1 without Messi. adidas has treated the three stars as the collection’s organizing principle — each blue gradient on the home shirt represents a previous title, while the black away jersey turns Buenos Aires’ ornate fileteado porteño street art into curling football graphics. One celebrates the trophies already won — the other gives Argentina something suitably dramatic to wear while attempting the first successful title defence since Brazil in 1962.

World Cup Record: First World Cup Appearance

Group K has two famous teams and two teams that have long tried to qualify. Portugal comes with Cristiano Ronaldo possibly playing in his sixth World Cup, a new record, while Colombia returns after missing Qatar 2022 with another talented group led by Luis Díaz and James Rodríguez. On the other hand, DR Congo is back after 52 years away, and Uzbekistan is the first Central Asian country to make it to the tournament.

Portugal’s first World Cup collection from Puma after almost thirty years with Nike focuses directly on the country’s connection to the Atlantic. The home jersey keeps the sea theme, showing waves in similar shades across a deep red base with green edges, while the away kit drops any subtlety and covers white and lagoon green with a bold ocean design inspired by Nazaré. Portugal won qualifying Group F with an impressive 9–1 win over Armenia, but a late draw against Hungary and Cristiano Ronaldo’s sending off during a loss in Dublin made the journey much less smooth than the final standings show. Whether this tournament will be Ronaldo’s sixth and last World Cup will be a major story, but Puma has at least given this very talented team a first collection that can stand on its own

England enters Group L as the favourites, but almost every opponent brings an uncomfortable piece of World Cup history with them. Croatia famously ended England’s run in the 2018 semi-finals and have since reached another semi-final in Qatar, while Panama return for a rematch of the wonderfully chaotic 6–1 encounter that produced their first World Cup goal. Ghana complete the group with the athleticism, emerging talent and tournament pedigree to make them far more dangerous than their ranking might suggest.

Nike has brought England back to a familiar look with a traditional white home jersey and the red away shirt that fans usually want whenever the alternate colour changes. Both have subtle lions and stars woven into the fabric, but the home design stays classic with red and navy details around its unique collar, while the Speed Red away kit places the Three Lions badge and Swoosh in the centre below England’s single gold world-champions star. “Happy and Glorious” is written inside the collar, taken from the national anthem and giving the kind of hope every England shirt carries before the knockout rounds start. Thomas Tuchel’s team gained confidence by winning all eight qualifying games, scoring 22 goals and not allowing any—the first perfect defensive run of this length by any European country.

Some national shirts can be redesigned almost beyond recognition — Croatia’s only needs someone to decide how big the squares should be. For Nike’s last World Cup collection before the federation switches to Adidas, the home jersey brings back a tighter red-and-white checkerboard pattern that looks more like Croatia’s early international kits, while the away design uses the same style in deep royal and navy blue with small red details. Croatia qualified without losing after winning seven of eight matches, scoring 26 goals and finishing six points ahead of Czechia, keeping a World Cup record that is amazingly good for a country with fewer than four million people. Since their first appearance in 1998, they have won three medals from six tournaments—bronze in 1998, silver in 2018 and bronze again in 2022. Luka Modrić is expected to play in his fifth World Cup at 40, but anyone still calling Croatia a one-man team has clearly ignored the last ten years.

With every competing nation’s home and away shirts now revealed, the main World Cup kit calendar may be complete, but the releases are unlikely to stop entirely. Supporters can still expect restocks of popular sizes, additional player-name options, goalkeeper jerseys and the occasional limited-edition collection celebrating a host city, memorable match or unexpected tournament run. Some of the hardest-to-find shirts—particularly those produced by smaller brands—may disappear quickly once their initial production runs sell through, while FIFA’s individually numbered host-city jerseys were specifically created without second drops.

We will continue updating this guide if federations introduce replacement designs, commemorative details or new versions after the tournament, because football shirts have a habit of continuing their story long after the final whistle.

The best places to buy World Cup 2026 kits are the official FIFA Store, each manufacturer’s website, national federation stores and established football retailers such as Soccer.com, Fanatics and World Soccer Shop. Most major-team jerseys are offered in two versions: the authentic or Match shirt uses the lightweight materials, slim fit and performance technology worn by the players and generally costs between $150 and $175, while the official replica—sometimes called the Stadium or fan version—usually sits around $80 to $100 and provides a more relaxed fit for everyday wear. Replica does not mean fake in this case — it remains a fully licensed jersey, just without all the expensive on-pitch engineering. Kits from smaller suppliers may be harder to locate and could only appear through the federation or manufacturer, so check sizing, shipping costs and return policies before ordering—and be suspicious of any supposedly authentic player shirt being offered for the price of lunch.
