I went to the mall this past weekend, and like I always do, I checked out the LEGO store to see what is new, and what to my wondering eyes did appear – brand new LEGO sets celebrating the FIFA 2026 World Cup competition!
While I was delightfully surprised to find the sets, I have to say that I was a little disappointed that I did not have advanced notice about these sets. Being a loyal LEGO VIP card holder for many years, I thought that I should have been sent an email announcing these sets weeks ago.
Thanks to my forgiving nature and love of LEGO, I put these feelings aside and decided to enjoy the moment and get some of the great sets that are currently available – there are 11 sets in all, but I am just including my personal favorites here. You can look at all the sets that are available at LEGO.com.
My Favorite LEGO 2026 World Cup Sets
LEGO Editions FIFA 2026 World Cup Official Trophy (43020) $199.00
 |
| Official Trophy with hidden figure |
The size of this 2,842-piece set says it all – it's huge like the competition itself. Standing 14.5 inches tall and consisting of special molded golden bricks, it has the size and heft befitting the real thing. Oh, and there is special feature – a hidden 2026 World Cup mini-figure holding a small World Cup
I'd say this one is my favorite, and it is the essential one for your collection. Think about how great it will look on display surrounded by the other sets!
FYI - this set is only available for backorder now.

| Official Emblem Wall Art |
LEGO Editions FIFA 2026 World Cup Official Emblem (43032) $24.99
If you want the cup for a lesser price, this 298-piece set is a good option for you. It will display nicely on the wall above the other World Cup sets that you are displaying.
Lego Editions Soccer Ball (43019) $129.99

| Soccer Ball with micro stadium |
This 1,498-piece set is a collector's dream. It's based on size 5 soccer ball used in official games. Inside there is a micro stadium scene!
I'm definitely starting my 2026 World Cup display with this ball and the trophy in the middle of the table!
Lego Editions U.S. Soccer Team Jersey (43033) $24.99

For those of you who are rooting for the home team – I'm definitely watching all the U.S. Team matches – this is the set for you. Reasonably priced too!
This 167-piece set features the team jersey and two players. You can customize your design with any numbers – 0-99 – to make the set your own. Great for display on your wall next to your World Cup Emblem set!
Player Sets
