How much do England players get paid for playing at the World Cup?

England are bidding to end 60 years of heartache at this summer's World Cup in North America. The Three Lions have made it through to the quarter-final stage, where they'll face Norway in Miami, Florida, on Saturday night. Thomas Tuchel's squad boasts an array of multi-million-pound talent drawn from the Premier League , Bundesliga and La Liga, with some of the most recognisable names in world football among their ranks. The likes of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice all command enormous contracts at Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Arsenal respectively — yet their earnings for representing their country are comparatively modest. Each player receives around £2,000 per match when pulling on the England shirt — a figure that reflects the greater emphasis placed on national pride and prestige over financial reward. Since 2007, all players have agreed to donate their match fees to the England Football Foundation, which distributes the money to a range of worthwhile charitable causes throughout the country. Should England go all the way and lift the trophy, however, each player could potentially pocket upwards of £500,000 in bonus payments. A comparable sum was on offer at the 2022 tournament, though that figure already represented more than double the £215,000 bonus that was reportedly dangled before the squad ahead of Russia 2018. Players are also expected to boost their commercial earnings should they advance and perform well in the United States. Tuchel himself stands to receive a substantial, multi-million-pound bonus should England claim their first World Cup since 1966. Despite a slow start to the tournament, England's 3-2 win over Mexico in the previous round has widely been praised as one of their finest World Cup results. Goals from Jude Bellingham (two) and Harry Kane gave them victory in Mexico City. Jordan Henderson, though, will miss the rest of the tournament after breaking his wrist in the post-match celebrations. The Scandinavians will be no pushovers in the quarters, though, with the likes of Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard in their ranks. England will be favourites to progress, however, with a place in the last four up for grabs.
