With 50 days until the World Cup kicks off, BBC Sport highlights some of the best kits that will be on show at this summer’s tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
With an expanded 48-team line-up and 104 matches across 16 host cities, there will be more nations than ever hoping to stand out.
Vote for your favourite kits at the bottom of the page.
Image source, @lesverts.fafAlgeria are a dream in green.
The Desert Foxes will return to the World Cup for the first time since 2014, when they were beaten by winners Germany in the last 16.
Image source, @afaseleccionDefenders will be left bamboozled when Lionel Messi twists and turns past them in this swirl patterned away strip.
The holders topped South American qualifying, finishing nine points ahead of second-placed Ecuador.
Image source, @oefb_1904Austria have qualified for their first World Cup since 1998. Ralf Rangnick’s team will bring a touch of cosmopolitan sophistication to this summer’s tournament in a marbled away shirt that’s been designed as a nod to the country’s cafe culture.
Image source, @belgianreddevilsBelgium’s away shirt for the 2026 World Cup is inspired by Belgian surrealist artist, Rene Magritte.
Like Magritte’s artwork, the Red Devils’ qualifying campaign for the tournament certainly subverted expectations at times, with 6-0 wins over Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan sandwiched between draws against North Macedonia and Kazakhstan.
Image source, @brasilDoes anything say World Cup more than the bold yellow and green of the Selecao?
Brazil finished fifth in the Conmebol qualifying table, losing six of 18 matches, but who would rule out the five-time champions lifting the trophy again?
Image source, @canmntCanada’s home shirt draws inspiration from the country’s national symbol, the maple leaf.
The co-hosts have appeared at two previous World Cup tournaments, but have never made it beyond the group stages.
Image source, @fcfseleccioncolFor fans of a certain vintage, the sight of Los Cafeteros playing in three stripes will evoke memories of a hirsute Carlos Valderrama captaining his team at Italia ’90.
In-form winger Luis Diaz will carry much of his nation’s hopes at this summer’s tournament.
Image source, @hns_cffThe red and white checkerboard of Croatia’s home kit is another classic design that evokes tournaments past.
Despite being a relatively small nation, with a population of just over four million, the Kockasti have a strong record in the World Cup, finishing as runners-up in 2018, as well as twice finishing third – in 1998 and 2002.
Image source, @thebluewaveffkWith a population of roughly 156,115 people, the Caribbean island nation of Curacao became the smallest nation ever to qualify for a World Cup, external when they booked their place for this year’s tournament as Concacaf representatives under Dutch manager Dick Advocaat – who has since resigned.
Plenty of fans will advocate for the beauty of this shirt.
Image source, @ceskarepreCzech out this jersey, with its crystal-inspired design.
The Czech Republic secured their place at a first World Cup tournament in 20 years when they beat Denmark via a penalty shootout in the play-offs last month.
Image source, fecofadrcThe Democratic Republic of Congo qualified for their first World Cup in 52 years by beating Jamaica in their intercontinental play-off final, with an extra-time goal from Axel Tuanzebe sealing the win.
The Leopards’ 2025-26 home kit features a dramatic print motif.
Image source, @marathon_ecuadorMoises Caicedo and the rest of the Ecuador team will be hoping to make an impression at this summer’s tournament.
This year’s edition will be the fifth time the South American nation has played at a World Cup. Their best showing so far was at Germany 2006, when they made it to the last 16.
Image source, @egyptntEgypt’s home kit is adorned with geometric patterns that evoke the nation’s historic roots.
The Pharaohs have won a record seven Africa Cup of Nations titles but have only appeared at three previous World Cup tournaments, in 1934, 1990 and 2018.
Image source, @englandEngland are hoping to make a big noise at this year’s World Cup. Meanwhile, their home shirt is a rather muted affair.
Previous manager Gareth Southgate took the Three Lions to a World Cup semi-final in 2018, before reaching the quarter-finals in Qatar in 2022 (not to mention two consecutive Euros finals in 2021 and 2024).
Tuchel will be hoping this is the year England can go all the way and win a major tournament trophy.
Image source, @equipedefranceFrance are some outfit and no defender will be relishing seeing any of their forwards zig-zagging their way towards goal.
Les Bleus were runners-up in Qatar four years ago and are tipped as one of the favourites to win this year’s tournament.
Image source, @dfb_teamGermany’s 2026 home shirt is the last that will be made by native brand Adidas. Stylistically, it’s a very intentional mash-up of their 1990 and 2014 World Cup-winning kits.
Image source, @fif.ciThis kit manages to be loud and quiet all at the same time – with a mixture of repeated motifs emblazoned in soft green and orange hues.
Ivory Coast have played in three previous tournaments – 2006, 2010 and 2014 – but have failed to make it past the group stages.
Image source, @japanfootballassociationJapan will travel to the World Cup on the back of beating England in a friendly at Wembley last month.
The multi-colour stripes on their away shirt represent “colours beyond the horizon”.
Image source, @miseleccionmxThis shirt goes deep, with an Aztec-inspired motif. It’s also very reminiscent of the iconic kit that Mexico wore at France ’98.
The last time the South American country hosted a World Cup, back in 1986, they made it to the quarter-finals.
Image source, @onsoranjeThe Netherlands home shirt for the World Cup is minimal and understated, in as much as one can use terms like those to describe a bright orange jersey.
This great footballing nation has never won the game’s biggest trophy, despite reaching the final on three occasions – in 1974, 1978 and 2010.
Image source, @herrelandslagetThere’s Norway you could mistake this kit and it comes with a big plus…
The Scandinavian country make their return to the World Cup this summer after a 28-year absence. At France ’98 Norway beat Brazil 2-1 during the group stages before being eliminated by Italy in the last 16. This year’s squad boasts a few big stars, including Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland.
Image source, @selecciondepanamaThis shirt gets a tip of the hat.
Panama share Group L with England, Ghana and Croatia. Harry Kane will have fond memories of the last time the Three Lions played Los Canaleros, during the group stages at Russia ’18, when the England striker scored a hat-trick during a 6-1 rout.
Image source, @portugalPortugal will look wavy in this kit inspired by the Atlantic Ocean, which borders the country.
Roberto Martinez’s men had a mixed qualifying campaign, with a 9-1 thrashing of Armenia followed up by a 2-0 loss to the Republic of Ireland and a 2-2 draw with Hungary – ranked 59th and 40th in the world respectively by Fifa.
Image source, @qfaAfter hosting the 2022 World Cup, Qatar will be hoping to make a mark at this year’s competition in a simple, but effective, home shirt based around the national colours and pattern of the Middle East country’s national flag.
Image source, @saudintSaudi Arabia shocked the world when they beat eventual champions Argentina 2-1 at the 2022 World Cup and they’ve made headlines again recently by sacking head coach Herve Renard just two months before this year’s tournament.
The Middle East nation’s home kit is bolder than previous editions, with new purple and gold accents alongside the traditional green base.
Image source, @scotlandnationalteamScotland are back at the World Cup, after a 28-year hiatus. Steve Clarke’s men will be hoping to make it past the group stages for the first time in the nation’s history, but face a tough task in Group C, which they share with five-time winners Brazil and Africa Cup of Nations champions Morocco, as well as Haiti.
Their away kit comes in a bold coral colour, reminiscent of the Tartan Army’s 1999 away strip.
Image source, @bafanabafanaofficialSouth Africa’s away shirt gives a nod to the kits worn by Bafana Bafana in 2010, when they hosted the World Cup – becoming the first African nation to do so. They recorded a historic 2-1 win over France in that tournament.
Image source, @thekfaA blooming marvellous kit – South Korea’s away strip featured an energetic, floral design set against a violet base.
This year will mark South Korea’s 12th World Cup and their 11th consecutive appearance. They made it to the last 16 in Qatar and topped their group in Asian qualifiers.
Image source, @sefutbolSpain’s away kit includes a graphic pattern inspired by ancient Spanish manuscripts.
The European Champions will be hoping to write another chapter in their country’s rich footballing history. They enter this year’s competition as the favourites, having enjoyed a near-perfect qualification campaign.
Image source, @swemntSweden have a strong heritage in the World Cup, having finished runners-up in 1958 as well as finishing third in 1950 and 1994.
Their home shirt pays homage to the ’70s and features an embossed print inspired by daisies.
Image source, @swissnatimenSwitzerland teamed up with Swiss online personality Adrian Vogt for the launch of their new home kit. It’s inspired by the country’s futuristic-looking passports. Captain Granit Xhaka will be hoping for an easy journey through Group B, which they share with Canada, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Qatar.
Switzerland have played at 12 previous editions of the World Cup, reaching the quarter-finals in 1934, 1938 and 1954.
Image source, @millitakimlarTurkey’s home strip features a marbled pattern, inspired by the Turkish paper marbling art of Ebru.
This will be the nation’s first appearance at a World Cup finals since 2002, when they finished third.
Image source, @aufoficialTwo-time World Cup winners Uruguay will look classy when they turn up to this year’s competition in this simple home shirt.
Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani have both retired from international football, but Federico Valverde and company will be hoping to write their own history under manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Image source, @usmntAs co-hosts, the USA will be aiming to stand out at this year’s tournament – having previously only hosted the World Cup in 1994.
The team are managed by Mauricio Pochettino and share Group D with Paraguay, Australia and Turkey.
