Profile
Under Thomas Tuchel, England qualified with a perfect European qualifying record and arrive among the genuine favourites to end 60 years of hurt since their solitary 1966 World Cup victory on home soil. Harry Kane is closing in on football's highest-scoring international records in a Bayern Munich career of extraordinary consistency. Jude Bellingham runs the Real Madrid midfield with a maturity and physical brilliance that makes him the best all-round midfielder of his generation. Bukayo Saka's Arsenal form has made him one of the world's best right-sided attackers. The squad depth across every position is arguably the strongest in England's football history, and Tuchel's experience of winning Champions Leagues and managing elite clubs across Europe gives England a coaching authority they have rarely possessed. Group L contains Croatia, Ghana and Panama — winnable matches — but England's tournament pedigree and those two recent final losses suggest they will push hard for the title itself this time.

Players to watch
Harry Kane
Forward · Bayern Munich
England's all-time leading scorer and one of the most complete forwards in the history of the game, Kane combines elite finishing, extraordinary hold-up play and a range of passing that creates as much as he scores. His Bayern Munich Premier League goals record, leadership on the pitch and composure in pressure moments define him as England's most important player.
Jude Bellingham
Midfielder · Real Madrid
Perhaps the best all-round midfielder of his generation, Bellingham won La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid with performances that left the football world breathless. His combination of physicality, technique, goalscoring ability from midfield, leadership and composure in the biggest Champions League moments make him one of the two or three best players at this tournament.
Bukayo Saka
Forward · Arsenal
Arsenal's most important player across consecutive Champions League campaigns, Saka has developed from a talented teenager into one of the world's best right-sided attackers. His combination of dribbling quality, creative intelligence, reliable goalscoring and relentless work rate without the ball make him the Premier League's most complete wide forward and England's most consistent performer.
