While England’s players prepare to chase football glory across the United States this summer, their partners have a different kind of journey in mind and it looks every bit as well planned.
England’s wives and girlfriends have organized their own five-star American adventure for the World Cup.
The plans arranged by a specialist travel planner will take them through Kansas City, New York and Boston.
It is less a trip to a football tournament and more a carefully curated tour of some of America’s greatest cities with a few matches thrown in along the way.
Several of the WAGS have formed strong friendships through previous tournaments.
Jordan Pickford’s wife Megan, Bukayo Saka’s girlfriend Tolami Benson and Chelsea captain Reece James’s partner Mia McClenaghan are also expected to make the trip.
The accommodation matches the occasion.
Premium hotels have been arranged across the schedule, including the Four Seasons and the Waldorf Astoria in New York, where England are set to play group stage matches.
Vacation rental properties in Kansas City, where Harry Kane and the squad will be based, will allow the WAGS to meet players during official family days.

It is a tradition that goes back decades in international football, the partners of the stars carving out their own experience on the sidelines of the biggest tournaments in the world.
In 2026, with three countries and sixteen cities to explore, England’s WAGS have arguably the most exciting backdrop any World Cup has ever offered.
The players are chasing the trophy. The WAGS are chasing America. And from the look of that journey, they might just have the better summer.
