Harry Kane says 2026 World Cup is England’s best chance to win

England captain Harry Kane, who finished the 2025‑26 season with Bayern Munich scoring 61‑66 goals, told ITV that the 2026 FIFA World Cup represents his best opportunity to lift a major trophy for his country. He noted that England have not won the tournament since 1966 and emphasized the squad’s depth, pointing to the form of teammates such as Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice.

Kane, now 32 and entering his third World Cup, said the team’s collective experience and recent club successes give them a realistic shot at ending the 60‑year drought. While acknowledging the risk of injuries, he expressed confidence that other players will step up when needed and that the expanded 48‑team tournament format could work in England’s favour.
