Jude Bellingham

Jude Bellingham anchors England’s creative midfield under new head coach Thomas Tuchel, who took over in early 2025 after Gareth Southgate’s post-Euro 2024 departure. Bellingham’s Real Madrid form (La Liga + UCL double in his debut season) translates directly to England — a No. 10 with a striker’s instinct.

England’s 2026 squad is one of the deepest in Europe by Premier League minutes. Tuchel’s challenge is forging an identity within 18 months. Friendlies in early 2026 are the leading indicator for tournament shape and Bellingham’s exact role — sometimes deeper midfield, sometimes inside-left attacker.

England fans travel in huge numbers. US-based supporters concentrate in NY/NJ and Boston (Gillette Stadium); Mexican-leg matches see English fan clusters in Mexico City. Expect strong demand for every England fixture, particularly any knockout match.
