Premier League players at the 2026 World Cup

Over 100 players from all 20 clubs in the Premier League will be represented in this summer's 2026 World Cup.

The latest edition of the "greatest show on Earth" will feature 48 teams, meaning an even greater number of players will be representing their nations compared to previous tournaments.

39 of the 48 competing nations have a Premier League player in their squad, and unsurprisingly England have the largest cohort of Premier League players with 22 of their 26-strong travelling party plying their trade in the English top-flight.

The Netherlands boast the second-most amount of Premier League players with 15 individuals in Ronald Koeman's squad, ahead of Scotland who have nine featuring in Steve Clarke's group.

Manchester City have more players going to the World Cup than any other Premier League club with 17 players representing 12 different nations, followed by Arsenal who have 15 players featuring for nine nations following Jurrien Timber's withdrawal from the Netherlands squad.

Premier League newcomers Hull City and Ipswich Town have the fewest. Goalkeeper Ivor Pandur is the Tigers' sole representative as he features in Croatia's squad, while the Tractor Boys will be cheering on George Hirst as he hopes to lead the line for Scotland.

Here's a full list of Premier League players at the World Cup.
