Jude Bellingham individual football honors

Overview

Jude Bellingham has been voted England’s men’s Player of the Year for the 2025-26 season via a fan vote on the official national team app. This marks his second consecutive year winning the award, as he secured the title over Harry Kane.

The recognition follows a standout performance during the 2026 World Cup, where Bellingham scored seven goals to help lead England to a third-place finish. All seven of his goals were scored during the tournament, including two goals each in victories against Mexico and Norway, making him England’s top scorer of the competition. For his efforts, he was awarded the World Cup Bronze Boot, trailing only Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi in the scoring charts.

England manager Thomas Tuchel praised the 23-year-old midfielder, describing him as a player who “blossoms under pressure” and possesses a “relentless competitive spirit,” noting that he “lives up to his full potential.” Bellingham expressed that receiving the recognition from fans was a “great honor” following his successful summer.

While Bellingham took the top honors, captain Harry Kane was recognized as England’s top scorer for the seventh consecutive year, having netted 12 goals across all international matches. Despite this consistent scoring and remaining a candidate for the Ballon d'Or, Kane did not secure the Player of the Year title, which he last won in 2018.
