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.Algeria (away)Algeria 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.Argentina (away)Defenders 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.Austria (away)Austria 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.Belgium (away)Belgium'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.Brazil (home)Does 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?Canada (home)Canada'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.Colombia (home)For 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.
Croatia (home)The 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.Curacao (away)With a population of roughly 156,115 people, the Caribbean island nation of Curacao became the smallest nation ever to qualify for a World Cup 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.Czech Republic (away)Czech 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.DR Congo (home)The 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.Ecuador (home)Moises 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.

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.France (home)France 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.Germany (home)Germany's 2026 home shirt is the last that will be made by native brand Adidas.
