FIFA confirms 2026 World Cup jersey colors

FIFA has confirmed the jersey colors that all 48 teams will wear throughout the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. The announcement comes just eight days before the tournament begins.

According to FIFA, national teams that have previously won the World Cup will don their traditional kits for their respective opening matches. For instance, Argentina will play in their classic sky-blue and white striped jerseys against Algeria, while Brazil will wear their iconic yellow jersey with blue shorts against Morocco. England will be in white versus Croatia, France in navy blue and white against Senegal, Germany in white with black, red, and yellow accents against Curaçao, Spain in red and blue against Cape Verde, and Uruguay, the first-ever World Cup champion, will wear their characteristic sky blue against Saudi Arabia.

The host nations will also feature their signature colors. Mexico will debut in their classic green jersey against South Africa, Canada will wear red against Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the United States will sport a uniform inspired by their flag's red and white stripes against Paraguay.

FIFA's primary directive is for teams to play in their main kits. However, if there's a risk of color confusion, the organization will apply specific criteria to ensure adequate visual distinction. This evaluation includes the kits of both teams, their goalkeepers, and the referees' attire. Whenever possible, one team will wear dark colors and the other light colors to aid player identification for individuals with color blindness.

Additionally, all jerseys during the tournament will feature the official tournament emblem on the right sleeve and a FIFA social campaign badge on the left. The "Unidos por la paz" (United for Peace) campaign will be displayed during the group stage, "Unidos por la educación" (United for Education) during the round of 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals, and "El fútbol une el mundo" (Football Unites the World) during the round of 32, the third-place match, and the final.
