Funko Pop FIFA World Cup 2026 England: The UK Collector's Guide
Quick answer for the time poor collector
- Funko's FIFA World Cup 2026 range is officially licensed and includes England squad figures plus the three tournament mascots.
- England's headline Pops are Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham, with more squad players in the wave.
- The mascots each got a Pop too: Maple the moose (Canada), Zayu the jaguar (Mexico) and Clutch the bald eagle (USA).
- The tournament kicks off on 11 June 2026 across the USA, Canada and Mexico, so demand is peaking right now.
- Buy early. Funko football waves rarely get a second print run, and prices climb once the games start.
England fans only get a proper Funko football moment every couple of years, and the FIFA World Cup 2026 wave is the biggest one yet. Funko's World Cup 2026 line is officially licensed, and it pairs an England squad selection with Pops of all three tournament mascots. We watched the Euro 2024 squad sell through in roughly ten weeks. With this tournament running across three host nations and the squad coverage wider, the same story looks likely.
This guide is for UK buyers who want the figures lined up before the group stage, without paying scalper money in July. Straight advice, no hype.

What is in the Funko World Cup 2026 wave?
The range splits into two halves: player Pops and tournament mascots. England gets one of the deepest player rosters of any nation, which is what makes it the obvious target for UK collectors.
England player Pops
The headline three are the ones most people will want first. Harry Kane, the captain and record goalscorer. Bukayo Saka, already one of the fastest movers across the wider football line. And Jude Bellingham, the figure we expect to lead UK demand. The wave runs deeper than those three, with squad players and a goalkeeper included, so completists have a proper set to chase.
One note on accuracy. Funko's exact roster and numbering shift as a tournament approaches, so check the live listing before you assume a specific player made the cut.
Tournament mascot Pops
The 2026 mascots are a trio for the first time, one per host nation. Maple the moose represents Canada and lines up in goal. Zayu the jaguar represents Mexico up front. Clutch the bald eagle represents the USA in midfield. Clutch is the early standout for collectors, partly on design, partly because USA themed Pops tend to perform well on the secondary market.
How this wave compares to Euro 2024
Two honest differences. First, the coverage is wider. A three nation World Cup gives Funko more reason to go deep on the squad than a Euros did. Second, the mascots are a real category this time. The single 2022 mascot, La'eeb, sold modestly. A trio tied to three host countries has far more pull, and Clutch in particular is moving on hype alone.
Buyer tips: how to actually collect this wave
1. Pre-order, don't chase
Funko football waves rarely get a reprint. Once the tournament starts, prices on resale platforms tend to climb after any standout moment on the pitch. Lock the figures in early and stop refreshing eBay.
2. Decide your scope before you start
Three sensible scopes. Buy the captain only. Buy the handful of players you actually want on display. Or go for the full England set. Pick one before you start, because mid collection regret is what drives most overspending.
3. Watch for retailer exclusives
Funko usually drops kit variant exclusives through specific retailers for tournament waves. Away kits and goal celebration variants tend to appear closer to the knockout rounds. If you are a completist, keep a little budget back.
4. Display them properly
Football Pops look best grouped by team, in a formation, on one shelf. Honest take: if you are not buying for resale, take them out of the box. They display better, and the boxes do not protect from UV anyway.
5. Authenticate before buying second hand
Buying off platform, check the foot stamp, the box code and the vinyl finish. Counterfeits in the football line have improved, and they are now the main reason buyers come back asking for refunds elsewhere. We only ship stock that has been checked in house, which is why our prices sit at retail rather than dropping to levels that should make you suspicious.

Funko's World Cup 2026 figures are rolling out across UK retailers around the tournament, which kicks off on 11 June 2026. Some retailer exclusives tend to appear in waves through the knockout rounds.

Standard football Pops usually carry a UK RRP in the region of £15. Retailer exclusives and limited variants run higher, and sold out figures climb on resale once the games begin.
Q: Which England player Funko Pop will sell out first?
Going on past waves and current buzz, Bellingham and Saka tend to lead, with Kane close behind. We would not bank on any of the three staying at RRP once the group stage is done.
