The 2026 French national team home jersey remains true to blue, enriched with metallic copper details and a polo collar, while the away jersey dares to sport an unprecedented mint green in Les Bleus' history. Both kits, unveiled by Nike on March 23, 2026, pay homage to the Statue of Liberty. The problem for many fans is navigating between leaks, official versions, and copies. You'll find details on both jerseys, their meaning, price, and how to avoid pitfalls when buying. Let's start with the home jersey.
What does the France 2026 home jersey look like?
The 2026 home jersey retains Les Bleus' iconic blue, in a deep "Game Royal" shade, enhanced with metallic copper on the crest and Nike Swoosh. The polo collar makes a return, white at the front and navy blue at the back, with a discreet red button placket reminiscent of the 2014 jersey.
The metallic copper is no coincidence. It evokes the original color of the Statue of Liberty before its oxidation, a common thread found on both World Cup jerseys.
A pattern woven into the fabric
Beyond the colors, Nike has integrated a tone-on-tone pattern that runs throughout the jersey, blending the FFF logo and graphic references to the Statue of Liberty's crown. The rendering is more textured and contemporary than previous outfits. For fans looking for a blue piece with a bold design, without paying the price of a licensed jersey, the limited edition France jerseys offer original creations designed and drawn in France.
The green away jersey: a historic first
The 2026 away jersey marks a departure: for the first time in its history, the French team will play in green. Named "Liberté," it features a mint green, or verdigris, base with copper-colored logos and details, and tricolor touches on the cuffs.
This green is not a whim. It reproduces the patina of the oxidized copper of the Statue of Liberty, a monument gifted by France to the United States in 1886. With the 2026 World Cup taking place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, Nike has made this Franco-American link the central concept of the collection.
The home jersey, classic and elegant, is unanimously acclaimed. The green away jersey, however, divides opinions: some applaud the boldness, while others regret the departure from traditional tricolor codes. This is often the sign of a jersey that leaves a lasting impression and becomes a collector's item.

Price, release date and first matches
Both jerseys were unveiled on March 23, 2026, and immediately went on sale at the official FFF store and partner websites. As for pricing, the official replica will cost around 110 euros, with Nike having raised the price of its replicas this season.
On the field, Les Bleus debuted the away jersey on March 26 against Brazil, then the home jersey on March 29 against Colombia. For the final phase, the blue home kit will be worn during the first World Cup match against Senegal.

See France jerseys →Official, replica or custom creation: what to choose?
Three families of jerseys coexist, and the confusion is costly. The official licensed jersey, sold by the FFF and Nike, the replica offered by resellers, and pure, illegal counterfeit, which copies the crest and Swoosh without authorization.
Counterfeiting is tempting due to its price, but it's a bad calculation: unreliable quality, poor finishes, risk of customs blockage. There's a healthier alternative to copies: the supporter jersey with an original design. A brand like Sawa Football designs its own models in the colors of France, without imitating the official jersey. You buy an exclusive piece, not a counterfeit.
Frequently asked questions
What color is the France 2026 jersey?
The 2026 home jersey is blue, in a deep Game Royal shade enhanced with metallic copper. The away jersey, meanwhile, is mint green, a first in the history of the French team, with copper logos and a concept inspired by the Statue of Liberty.
Why is France's away jersey green?
The mint green color represents the patina of the oxidized copper of the Statue of Liberty, gifted by France to the United States in 1886. Since the 2026 World Cup is being played in North America, Nike built the collection around this historical link between the two countries.
How much does the France 2026 national team jersey cost?
The official replica is priced around 110 euros, a price increase this season. Player versions or personalized ones are more expensive. Original unofficial creations are often available at more accessible prices.
When will France play in the 2026 jersey?
Les Bleus wore the away jersey on March 26, 2026, against Brazil and the home jersey on March 29 against Colombia. The blue home jersey will be the main kit for the 2026-2028 period and for the first World Cup match against Senegal.
How to spot a fake France jersey?
Be wary of a very low price, an untraceable seller, and crude finishes on the crest, Swoosh, or seams. For a safe purchase, go through the official store or a design brand that claims its own designs.
The 2026 jersey will remain one of Les Bleus' most striking, as much for its copper blue as for that green that leaves no one indifferent. The real question is not so much the design as what you want to wear: the official kit to cheer on the team, or an exclusive creation that speaks of France in your own way. In both cases, shun counterfeits and choose an item whose origin you know.
