Wikipedia

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is an ongoing international football tournament being held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States, from June 11 to July 19, 2026. The 48 national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad of up to 26 players, including three goalkeepers. Only players in these squads will be eligible to take part in the tournament.

A provisional release list of between 35 and 55 players per national team had to be submitted to FIFA by May 11, 2026, one month prior to the opening match of the tournament. The release lists were not made public by FIFA. From the preliminary squad, the final list of at least 23 and at most 26 players (at least three of whom shall be goalkeepers) per national team had to be submitted to FIFA by June 1, ten days prior to the opening match of the tournament. The squad lists were published by FIFA the following day. In the event that a player on the submitted squad list suffers from an injury or illness prior to his team's first match of the tournament, that player could be replaced at any time up to 24 hours before their first match. The team doctor and the FIFA General Medical Officer have to both confirm that the injury or illness is severe enough to prevent the player from participating in the tournament. Replacement players are limited to the preliminary list.

The position listed for each player is per the official squad list published by FIFA. The age listed for each player is as of June 11, 2026, the first day of the tournament. The numbers of caps and goals listed for each player do not include any matches played after the start of the tournament. The club listed is the club for which the player last played a competitive match prior to the tournament. The nationality for each club reflects the national association (not the league) to which the club is affiliated. A flag is included for coaches who are of a different nationality to their team.
