England and Nike have unveiled new home and away kits ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. On Friday (March 20), the FA shared the first images of the new strips to be worn this summer, and are now available exclusively at two retailers including the Official England Store.
Star players including Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Jordan Pickford feature in England’s official launch video, which showcases the traditional white home kit and red away kit, each featuring iconic depictions of lions and flags woven into the fabric. The England 2026 home shirt features navy detailing on the shoulders, cuffs and collar, complemented by a red stripe down the side.
The Nike Swoosh is placed on the right chest opposite the England emblem on the left, beneath a golden star commemorating the 1966 World Cup victory. The England 2026 away shirt returns to the classic red with white accents on the shoulders, combined with navy cuffs, collar, side and central badges.
The England 2026 goalkeeper shirt features a striking blue lion design with star graphics, central crest and Nike swoosh. The inside collar of each shirt features the phrase “Happy and Shining,” a nod to the national anthem “God Save the King.”
Each edition comes in two versions: Stadium and Match, also known as Replica and Authentic. The Stadium (Replica) Shirt is designed for a more relaxed fit and comfort, featuring moisture-wicking Dri-FIT technology and embroidered team and sponsor logos.
Match (Authentic) shirts are worn by players on the pitch and feature breathable Nike Aero-FIT technology, a tighter fit, and heat-sealed logos and crests. Prices for men’s and women’s kits start from £89.99 and children’s kits from £69.99.
Each kit will be available exclusively at Official England Stores and Nike within 48 hours of launch. It will then be widely available at retailers such as Fanatics and JD Sports.
This comes after manager Thomas Tuchel announced his squad for England’s next international break, when they host Uruguay (March 27) and Japan (March 31) at Wembley Stadium. England fans can still book VIP and hospitality tickets for friendly matches from £39 with Seat Unique.
The large squad of 35 also includes regular Three Lions players including Harry Kane, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Jordan Pickford. Manchester United’s Harry Maguire and Kobie Mainu secured their first call-ups under the new manager, while Leeds’ Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke also return.
Brighton reserve goalkeeper Jason Steele and Everton midfielder James Garner have received their first senior call-ups to the England camp.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ollie Watkins and Luke Shaw were not selected for the last two games, with other notable names not on the list. As is often the case, supporters are divided on England’s new kit, with many taking to social media to express their initial thoughts. Reacting to England’s unveiling video at the X, one said: “Best home kit I’ve ever seen.”
A fan wearing the away uniform said, “That red uniform is beautiful.”
But not everyone is convinced, as this supporter asked, “Who bought into the idea of wearing white home shorts?”
Regarding the goalie uniform, this commenter said, “That goalie uniform looks great.”
