What does the England home shirt look like?

The home shirt is traditionally white, with navy and red accents and the three lions crest on the chest. England became world champions in 1966 and that history lives in every detail. Clean, timeless and instantly recognisable: this shirt works just as well with jeans as in the stands, and the fabric is light and breathable.

What is new about the England football kit for 2026?

For the 2026 World Cup the whole England range is new: a clean white home shirt with subtle accents, a deep red away shirt and matching scarves, caps and bundles. The fit is regular and the fabric light and breathable, made to stay comfortable for a full match. Want to see the new England kit in one place? You will find the complete range on our England page.

Why are England called the Three Lions?

The nickname Three Lions refers to the three lions on the crest of the English Football Association, a symbol that goes back to the royal arms of England. For England fans the crest matters as much as the shirt itself, and it is one of the most recognisable logos in world football.

What does the England away shirt look like?

The away shirt is red, and that is no coincidence: England won the 1966 World Cup final in red. That makes the England away shirt perhaps the most storied second shirt in the world, and for many fans even the first choice.

Which size England shirt should I pick?

The shirts have a regular fit, so your usual size is normally the right call. If you are between two sizes, check our size guide. It lists chest width and length per size, so you get it right first time and skip the hassle of exchanges.
