Every country has named 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 provided 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 now 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 were announced throughout May and early June, with plenty of debate surrounding the final selection. Thomas Tuchel named his 26-man England group but left the likes of Cole Palmer and Phil Foden at home, while the squads for other big-hitters such as Brazil, Spain, France and Argentina also contained plenty of talking points.
Here are all the World Cup 2026 squads and every player who will be at this summer’s tournament:
Guillermo Ochoa joins Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the first players to be selected for a sixth World Cup, with the 40-year-old AEL Limassol goalkeeper chosen by Mexico coach Javier Aguirre but unlikely to get much playing time. Midfielder Edson Alvarez, who spent last season on loan at Fenerbahce from West Ham, will captain the side, with Fulham striker Raul Jimenez headlining the forward options and 17-year-old Tijuana wonderkid Gilberto Mora set to become the youngest player to represent Mexico at a World Cup.
Goalkeepers: Raul Rangel (Guadalajara), Guillermo Ochoa (AEL Limassol), Carlos Acevedo (Santos Laguna)
Defenders: Jorge Sanchez (PAOK), Israel Reyes (Club America), Cesar Montes (Lokomotiv Moscow), Johan Vasquez (Genoa), Jesus Gallardo (Toluca), Mateo Chavez (AZ)
