How many pairs of brothers have played for England?

Jude and Jobe Bellingham are set to join a large list of brothers that have both represented the England national team.

Perhaps most famously, Bobby and Jack Charlton appeared for England at two World Cups, appearing in every game in 1966 as England won the tournament.

Both brothers retired from the national team in 1970 after being knocked out by West Germany in the quarter finals of the World Cup.

Trevoh Chalobah joined that list after making his England debut in 2025, seven years after his brother Nathaniel made his only appearance for the Three Lions against Spain.

The last brothers to appear on the pitch at the same time for England were Gary and Phil Neville in 2007, in a 1-0 defeat to Spain in a friendly at Old Trafford.

If Jobe appears for England over this latest international break, he and Jude will become the 22nd set of brothers to have appeared for the Three Lions.
