LEGO's FIFA World Cup 2026 Sets Feature Football's Biggest Stars

Nine new FIFA-licensed sets arrive on 1st May, with LEGO putting four of football's biggest names front and centre. Lionel Messi (43011), Cristiano Ronaldo (43012), Kylian Mbappé (43013), and Vini Jr. (43014) each get their own "Football Highlights" build at £29.99, ranging from 490 to 500 pieces.

The sets appear to be display-focused builds rather than playsets, which makes sense given the price point and licensing. At roughly 6p per piece, that's standard LEGO pricing, though you're paying for the FIFA branding and player likenesses rather than innovative building techniques.

Alongside the player sets, there's the official FIFA World Cup 2026 Emblem (43015) and a Team USA Football Jersey (43016). The jersey set feels like an odd choice given the global nature of football, but with the tournament happening across the US, Canada, and Mexico, it's clearly targeting the home market.

These sit in LEGO's "Editions" line, which has handled sports partnerships before. They're aimed at collectors and fans rather than kids building and rebuilding, though at £30 each, parents might find them appealing as display pieces for football-obsessed children.

Pre-orders are live on LEGO's site and Amazon.
