Bukayo Saka -- World Cup 2026

England • Arsenal

Bukayo Saka plays at MetLife Stadium on June 27 when England face Panama in Group L. The Arsenal winger has been one of the three best players in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons and is the player England most need to be at his best.

About Bukayo Saka

Saka turns 25 during the 2026 tournament and is at the absolute peak of his powers. His combination of pace, technical quality, and intelligence makes him the most dangerous English winger since the peak of Steven Gerrard-era international football. He creates chances, scores goals, and makes the right decision under pressure. He missed the crucial penalty in the Euro 2020 Final shootout at 19 and has since become one of the most important players in European football. What he does with the pressure of a World Cup on home soil will define his international legacy.

Bukayo Saka and New York

English and British expat bars in Hell's Kitchen, Midtown, and the East Village will be packed for every England match. For the June 27 MetLife game, expect thousands of visiting England fans from across North America alongside the New York British expat community.
