World Cup 2026 Kits: England, Scotland and the Home Nations’ Shirts

New tournament, new kits — and the World Cup 2026 has brought a fresh wave of national team shirts, including a particularly significant moment for Scotland, who return to the World Cup for the first time in 28 years with brand new kit to match. Here’s a look at what England and Scotland are wearing this summer, and how the wider kit picture across the tournament shapes up.

England’s 2026 Kits

England’s home kit for 2026 sticks with the traditional all-white base that’s long been associated with the team, with Nike’s design described as reasserting that classic look while adding more modern detailing around the crest and shoulders. The kit uses Nike’s Dri-FIT technology, continuing the performance-focused approach seen in recent tournament kits.

Beyond the standard kit release, England’s 2026 campaign has also included a notable collaborative project: a Palace Skateboards x Nike pre-match shirt featuring a grayscale design with a stained-glass-style graphic referencing St. George, England’s patron saint. This kind of streetwear collaboration reflects how national team kit releases have increasingly become cultural events beyond just matchday wear.

Scotland’s Return: 2026 Kits

Scotland’s qualification for the 2026 World Cup — their first appearance in the tournament in 28 years — has been matched by significant interest in their new kit. adidas and the Scottish FA unveiled Scotland’s home shirt in November 2025, featuring a dark navy base with embossed Saltire (Scotland’s national flag) motifs throughout the design, paired with a centralised crest giving the shirt a slightly retro feel.

An away kit is expected to follow adidas’ typical World Cup rollout pattern, with early reports describing a striking coral-toned base paired with navy detailing — though full details typically aren’t confirmed until closer to release. Demand for Scotland’s kit has reportedly spiked significantly since qualification was confirmed, with retailers noting a sharp rise in interest for both adult and junior sizes.

How the Wider Kit Picture Looks

All 48 participating nations had released their World Cup 2026 kits by the end of May 2026, following a staggered rollout: adidas and Puma unveiled initial home kits for their partner federations in late 2025, with Nike and the remaining adidas and Puma away kits following in March and April 2026, and smaller nations’ kits arriving as late as May.

• Germany: adidas drew on design cues from Germany’s 1990 and 2014 World Cup-winning kits for what’s reported to be their final tournament as Germany’s kit supplier
• Argentina: The kit combines three different shades of blue associated with Argentina’s previous World Cup wins (1978, 1986, 2022) into a single fading design, with a nod to the Argentine Football Association’s founding year on the back of the neck
• France: Design elements reportedly reference the Statue of Liberty, tying into the tournament’s North American hosting
• Adidas Trefoil: For the first time in 36 years, adidas’ Trefoil logo appears on partner federations’ jerseys, alongside 1990s-inspired design cues across several kits

Notably, both Brazil and Mexico reportedly revised their initial kit designs following negative fan reaction to early leaks — Brazil’s leaked design had reportedly moved away from the team’s traditional yellow and green toward a red colourway, while Mexico’s first away kit leak prompted a redesign before official release.

Where to Find Official Kits

Official England and Scotland kits are typically available through the respective national team stores, major sportswear retailers, and official kit suppliers’ own sites and apps. Replica adult shirts for major nations have historically sat in a similar price range across tournaments, with junior and kids’ sizing usually available at a lower price point through official retailers.

Final Thoughts

Across the tournament more broadly, this kit cycle has shown just how much national team shirts have become cultural moments in their own right — from heritage-driven designs referencing past World Cup wins to high-profile streetwear collaborations and fan-driven design changes before kits even hit shelves.
