And with all eyes on the biggest event in sport, the kits that the players wear will also be in focus. We rank the national jerseys of the participating teams at the 2026 Fifa World Cup from best to worst. The away kit takes it up a notch.
The swirling patterns are a unique artistic style from the area around Buenos Aires. One of the best in the competition, on the pitch and in a sartorial sense. The traditional and unmistakable blue and white stripes stand out.
However, the Americans missed a trick by not bringing back the much-loved '94 star-spangled away kit. The current deep blue kit has subtle star prints and is a solid alternative. The United States home kit is an ode to the classic 1994 World Cup jersey.
The wavy stripes have been recreated with a bit more flair. Nice striped collar as well. Their other kit is a simple white iteration with a striped collar and sleeve.
Brilliant home jersey with Aztec-inspired design dominating the entire kit. Goes perfectly with the white shorts. Brilliant use of bright colours, with the red stripes across the kit complementing the fluorescent yellow.
The choice of turquoise for the secondary jersey plus the wave pattern make it a very cool kit. Colombia always delivers. The 'V' design creates a nice pattern in the middle.
The away kit is equally eye-catching, although the shade of blue is not normally associated with Germany. Paying homage to the 1990 design pattern, the German flag sits beautifully on the torso. They have blended it well to merge with the centre of the kit.
The same checks are replicated in the blue away kit where the pattern seamlessly merges into the design. The red and white checks were always going to be there. The lemon tone plus a dash of colour through the stripes make it stand out.
A superb kit to mark Curacao's tournament debut. One of the most pleasing colour choices for a World Cup jersey.

A proper collar is a nice touch. Their all-white away kit has just a hint of the tricolour on the sleeve. Classy without being spectacular.
Diagonal patterns on the deep blue home kit with white shorts look stylish. The main blue kit has multiple tiny concentric patterns, giving the effect of a sound wave. The away jersey is equally beautiful, with several colourful stripes on a white top with a simple collar.
Understated elegance in both their kits. The cross, upon close inspection, includes a Nordic knot. Their other kit, however, is all black, all business.
The two kits are chalk and cheese. The main jersey is as in-your-face as a kit can get, with the Norwegian flag placed across the right shoulder. The away jersey is one of the best white iterations in the tournament.
A dash of orange across the midriff is simple and effective. The Dutch jersey could only ever be one thing – bright orange. They have stuck to it forever, so can’t hold it against them.
The deep blue away kit is much more eye catching. Overall, a solid duo. The home jersey is a bit plain, canary yellow as you'd expect although it does look good with the paler blue shorts.
But it is the away kit that stands out. Striking blue ripple vertical patterns with yellow highlights make it remarkable. The Swedish kit is all class.
The home is classic yellow with blue accents. But it is the away kit that is a sight to behold. Bold blue patterns that make a statement.
The home jersey is a simple all-blue outfit with a black and white collar. A beautiful red and blue kit with bright yellow and red stripes on the shoulders.
Works well. The white kit has subtle patterns on it and the collar has a red and yellow colour scheme.

Unlike any other from the region. The white away kit is simple with a hint of gold accents. Overall, a really clean effort.
The Saudi kit is one of the best from the Middle East. The green kit with geometric designs has distinct purple patterns – quite futuristic. The yellow home jersey, however, falls somewhere between Australia and Brazil.
Geometric pattern breaks the monotony. The green striped away is outstanding. The Bafana Bafana away jersey is uniquely South African and the shoulder stripes add to its charm.
Looks clean but not vastly dissimilar to some of their previous jerseys. Clean all round though. The Three Lions have gone minimalist.
There is a subtle lion motif on the white kit, while the other iteration is ‘Speed Red’ with blue accents. The yellow jersey is just as beautiful, especially with the Ghanaian star in black right in the centre of it. Intricate design across the jersey make it lively.
Outstanding white kit with a kaleidoscope of colourful strings. The white kit has green stripes and faded pattern on the front. Overall, nicely done.
A really pleasant green jersey with vertical stripes on the torso and dark sleeves. Their away kit has a lot going on. Blue waves crashing into each other create quite the impact.
The main red (or is it dark pink?) kit has a wave pattern horizontally along the jersey. It creates a nice effect. The blue accents on the sleeve and collar sit perfectly together.
The home, blue kit has Saltire-inspired design. The away kit is a pleasant coral pink kit with blue stripes. Their other black kit really stands out, with stylised maple designs splashed across.
Vastly different design choices, and both grab the attention. The Canadians have gone daring red with a maple leaf design. Simple yet effective.
