England has revealed their home and away kits for the forthcoming FIFA World Cup. The words ‘Happy and Glorious’ feature on the collar of Nike’s latest kit partnership, while they will wear red in the newly-released away kit.
The Three Lions are looking to end their sixty years of hurt when they head to North America for the tournament, which kicks off on June 11. After a number of leaks in recent months, England supporters now have confirmation of what they will be wearing for the tournament.
Jordan Pickford, wearing the traditional blue strip with a 2026-twist, features alongside captain Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, both wearing the home kit. Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson models the red away strip alongside Marcus Rashford.

There is a navy detail on the shoulder seam, and the side inserts are red with a navy outline. While the away kit features the Three Lions badge in the middle. The professional-style kit, worn by the Three Lions stars, will debut Aero-Fit technology, replacing Nike’s old Dri-Fit ADV technology.
The kits will be released on Monday, March 23. But they are likely to debut in the forthcoming March international break, where they take on Uruguay and Japan.
In 2018, the Football Association (FA) extended its partnership with Nike, keeping the American brand as England’s kit provider until 2030. The deal was worth more than £400 million, and the latest kit could be one of the last kits manufactured by Nike with the European Championships to come in 2028, hosted across England and the United Kingdom, before the 2030 World Cup in Africa.
The introduction of the Aero-FIT technology is viewed as the pinnacle of cooling technology, enabling players to perform at their peak in extreme conditions.

The Three Lions will take on Croatia, Ghana and Panama in Group L, but they will have to contend with summer weather in Dallas, Boston and New York. But the seeding system has handed them an advantage as they cannot meet Spain or Argentina until the semi-finals or France in the final, should they all make it that far.
It has been a busy Friday at St George’s Park after Thomas Tuchel announced his 35-man squad for the forthcoming international friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
There was no room for Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, while James Garner and Jason Steele received their maiden call-ups and a return to the fold for Leeds United talisman Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Ollie Watkins and Alex Scott were among the notable absentees that were omitted from the expanded squad, but Chelsea duo Trevoh Chalobah and Reece James both missed out due to injury.
The German head coach said: “My general thoughts are March is like a bit of an odd one, like the June one.
“It is in a period where players are heavily involved in cup semi-finals, Champions League semi-finals and at the end of the season, they fight for not being relegated or making international or European places, fighting for championships and for titles, so it is a very stressful and very demanding period of time.
“We have obviously done our homework, we have qualified, so it leaves us with two friendlies which is a good thing. The opponents are very strong opponents, given the style of play and given the ranking. It has its demands, this window.
“We decided then to divide it in basically two camps almost, so we bring players in that we haven’t seen that haven’t played so much to open up the picture and to open up the competition for plane tickets to the US.
“Then from Friday/Saturday, a group of players will come into camp – ten or eleven players will come who get a rest before and we will then go with a new group of players and a new mix of players into the match against Japan.”
