A landmark appearance awaits
England captain Harry Kane is in line to win his 126th senior men’s international cap against Croatia at Wembley on Thursday 12 November 2026. The appearance would move him beyond goalkeeper Peter Shilton’s long-standing record of 125.
How Kane reached the milestone
Kane equalled the mark in England’s previous match against Czechia. The Bayern Munich striker has combined his scoring achievements with an extended career as England’s attacking leader and captain. England’s official football website published an interview ahead of the occasion.
A record still subject to selection
The 126th cap is expected, rather than already completed at the time of this report. It depends on Kane taking the field against Croatia. Supporters should check the official match record afterward for confirmation of the landmark.
