England's squad numbers for the 2026 World Cup have officially been revealed.
Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions commence their quest for World Cup glory on the 17th June against Croatia in Dallas and the allocated squad numbers give a subtle hint to what the German's starting XI might look like in a fortnight's time.
As expected, Jordan Pickford will don England's number one shirt for a third consecutive World Cup, while Harry Kane retains his number nine jersey.
The usual suspects of Declan Rice (No. 4), John Stones (No. 5), Marc Guehi (No. 6) and Bukayo Saka (No. 7) have all retained the same numbers from Euro 2024.
There has been intrigue concerning Jude Bellingham's starting berth in the England XI, but the Real Madrid star has been allocated the No. 10 shirt. Bellingham's main rival for his starting position, Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers, will wear the No. 17 shirt.
Reece James maintains his preferred No. 24 shirt which he's kept since breaking through into the first team at Chelsea, and the right-back is the only player outside the numbers from 1-11 who is expected to start the opening fixture of the tournament.
Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson will make his first appearance at a major tournament wearing the iconic number eight shirt, which has previously been worn by the likes of Frank Lampard and Paul Gascoigne.
Marcus Rashford will retake the No. 11 shirt from Anthony Gordon with Barcelona's latest recruit set to wear No. 18 at the World Cup.
