World Cup 2026 squads: Every player at this summer’s tournament

Countries have started naming their 26-man squads for World Cup 2026 in the United States, Canada and Mexico this summer.

With 48 teams involved in the tournament, which starts on 11 June, there will be more players than ever accomplishing their goal of appearing in football’s most famous competition.

Each country must provide Fifa with a final squad of between 23 and 26 players (at least three of whom must be goalkeepers) by the deadline of 2 June, and a subsequently injured player may only be replaced by someone from a previously-submitted 55-man preliminary squad, up to 24 hours before the team’s first World Cup match.

Squads are set to be name throughout May, with Thomas Tuchel slated to name his 26-man England group on Friday 22 May, while Bosnia and Herzegovina became the first nation to confirm their squad on 11 May.
