Jude Bellingham has been named England men’s Player of the Year for the second consecutive time, following his standout performances during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Real Madrid midfielder expressed that receiving the award again was a “huge honour,” highlighting the recognition from fans as a significant personal achievement.

Bellingham played a pivotal role in England’s campaign, scoring seven goals and providing one assist over the course of eight matches. His goal tally set a new record for the most goals scored by an English player at a single World Cup tournament.

Reflecting on the award, Bellingham said it was “not something you think about when you’re playing for your country,” but acknowledged it as a meaningful addition to what he described as a “great summer” of representing England on the international stage.

His performances throughout the World Cup, held earlier this year, have solidified his status as a key figure in both the national team and at club level with Real Madrid. The accolade follows widespread acclaim for his technical skill, work rate, and impact in crucial matches throughout the tournament.
