The “Big Three” Still Rule
Despite the growing presence of independent manufacturers, Adidas, Nike and Puma remain the undisputed leaders at the FIFA 2026 World Cup, supplying 37 of the tournament’s 48 participating teams, more than 75 per cent of the field.

However, the expanded format has also created greater opportunities for smaller brands. A total of 11 teams are wearing kits produced by independent manufacturers, up from just six at the 2022 World Cup, underlining the increasing diversity of football’s global kit market.
