England captain Harry Kane is set to make history by becoming the country's most-capped men's footballer when the Three Lions face Croatia in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

The 33-year-old Bayern Munich striker is expected to earn his 126th international appearance at Wembley Stadium, moving ahead of former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who has held the record with 125 appearances since 1990.

Kane equalled Shilton's record during England's 3-0 victory over Czechia in October, marking the occasion with two goals and an assist.

His expected achievement comes after an outstanding year in which he won the Ballon d'Or in October, becoming the first English player in 25 years to receive the prestigious award.

Kane is also England's all-time leading goalscorer, with 91 goals in 125 appearances. He has continued to impress since joining German giants Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023.

At Bayern, he has scored 156 goals and helped the club win Bundesliga titles in 2025 and 2026.England teammate Jarell Quansah has praised Kane's professionalism, leadership and commitment to the national team.

Speaking about the striker, Quansah described him as an ultimate professional and a true great captain, highlighting how he leads by example both on and off the pitch.

Kane made his England debut in March 2015 against Lithuania, scoring just 79 seconds after coming on as a substitute.

Despite his individual achievements, the England captain remains determined to win a major international trophy with his country.

England have suffered painful defeats in the European Championship finals in 2021 and 2024.

Breaking the appearance record would add another remarkable achievement to Kane's career as he continues to build his legacy in international football.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CR77Va6DR/
