England head to the 2026 World Cup aiming to end a 60-year wait for a major tournament victory. The Three Lions came close under former manager Gareth Southgate, reaching the semi-finals in 2018 and finishing as runners-up in the last two European Championships.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel oversaw an excellent qualifying campaign, with England becoming the first European side to win eight qualifiers without conceding a goal. However, confidence was dented by two underwhelming performances in March friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
Tuchel has now selected his 26-man squad for the tournament. All statistics are accurate as of 9 June. The squad includes a mix of experienced players and emerging talent, with the manager hoping to end England's long trophy drought.
