No fewer than 16 Arsenal players will be representing their respective countries at the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 this month. The tournament is being staged across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Every qualifying nation has now revealed their 26-man squad for the competition, putting an end to speculation over which players would and wouldn't be heading to the global showpiece.

The summer competition could have significant implications for Arsenal's pre-season preparations. The reigning league champions have only confirmed their fixture against Real Betis on August 5 before facing Manchester City in the Community Shield on August 16.

Mikel Arteta will be eager to have his players return in good health as they look to defend their Premier League crown next season. Here is the confirmed list of Arsenal stars heading off to North America.
