2026 Germany World Cup roster: Complete 26-man team

Germany will be aiming to overcome two straight World Cup failures at this summer's tournament in North America.

After winning the 2014 World Cup, Die Mannschaft have been eliminated at the group stage in back-to-back tournaments.

Led by head coach Julian Nagelsmann, Germany will bring a strong roster to this summer's World Cup, which includes the returning Manuel Neuer. The 40-year-old goalkeeper retired from international duty in 2024 but has reversed his decision.

There was also room for Bayern Munich's teenage star Lennart Karl, as well as Arsenal's Kai Havertz and Bayern Munich attacker Jamal Musiala.

Here are the 26 players Germany will bring to the World Cup, where it has been drawn in Group E with Curaçao, Ivory Coast and Ecuador.
