England have scored 11 goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Every single one came from a player who spent last season outside the Premier League. For a country that runs the richest domestic league in world football, that’s a stat worth sitting with for a moment.
Harry Kane leads the charge with 6 goals from his perch at Bayern Munich. Jude Bellingham has added 4 from Real Madrid. Marcus Rashford, now at Manchester United, chipped in 1. The Premier League has contributed exactly zero goals to England’s World Cup run.

Kane has been at Bayern Munich since 2023. His 6 World Cup goals have been the backbone of England’s path to the quarterfinals. Bellingham, who moved to Real Madrid, has 4. Rashford rounds out the trio with 1.
