Interest in the cars driven by England’s World Cup stars has surged ahead of the tournament, with new data revealing a sharp increase in fans searching for the vehicles associated with some of the country’s biggest footballing names.

Our analysis of Google search data found that combined monthly searches relating to the cars and car collections of England's 2026 World Cup squad rose by 48% in the month the squad was announced.

Searches increased from 1,750 in April 2026 to 2,590 in May 2026, representing the highest monthly total recorded over the past year and putting it 40.8% above the monthly average.

Declan Rice tops the rankings

Among England's current stars, Declan Rice generated the highest level of interest, recording 590 monthly searches relating to his cars and car collection in May 2026.

Rice's search volume was nearly three times higher than second-placed Anthony Gordon, who recorded 210 monthly searches. Bukayo Saka and John Stones were joint third with 170 monthly searches each, while Marcus Rashford and Jordan Pickford completed the top six with 140 searches each.

  4. Marcus Rashford and Jordan Pickford – 140 monthly searches
  5. Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers – 110 monthly searches
  6. Nico O'Reilly and Dan Burn – 90 monthly searches

The surge in interest wasn't limited to England's established stars. Several players who have recently broken into the senior setup have seen significant increases in car-related searches over the past year.

Nico O'Reilly recorded the largest increase, with searches rising from 10 to 90 monthly searches. Morgan Rogers also saw significant growth, increasing from 40 to 110 monthly searches, while James Trafford, Elliot Anderson and Tino Livramento all recorded notable increases as they became increasingly involved in England's plans ahead of the World Cup.

Fastest-growing England players for car-related searches

  1. Nico O'Reilly – up from 10 to 90 monthly searches (+800%)
  2. Ollie Watkins – up from 30 to 110 monthly searches (+267%)
  3. Declan Rice – up from 170 to 590 monthly searches (+247%)
  4. Morgan Rogers – up from 40 to 110 monthly searches (+175%)
  5. Bukayo Saka – up from 90 to 170 monthly searches (+89%)

The cars capturing fans' attention

From rare electric SUVs to six-figure Rolls-Royces, many of England’s players have been associated with cars that are bound to get fans talking.

Declan Rice, England’s most searched player for car-related queries, has recently been reported driving a £40,000 Land Rover, while Anthony Gordon has attracted attention for being spotted in a rare £190,000 GMC Hummer EV, one of the more unusual vehicles linked with an England international.

Bukayo Saka has previously been linked with a Mercedes-AMG G63, a luxury SUV valued at up to £190,000, while John Stones has been associated with a Rolls-Royce Cullinan worth around £300,000.

Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, is believed to have one of the most extensive collections among England’s players, having been linked with high-end models including Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini and McLaren vehicles.

How long would it take England stars to earn their cars?

Based on his reported salary across a 38-game league season, Declan Rice would earn the equivalent value of his reported £40,000 Land Rover in just 11 minutes of league football.

Bukayo Saka would need around 64 minutes to earn the equivalent value of a £190,000 Mercedes-AMG G63, while Anthony Gordon would need approximately 83 minutes to cover the value of his reported £190,000 GMC Hummer EV.

John Stones' Rolls-Royce Cullinan, valued at around £300,000, remains one of the most expensive vehicles linked with England's squad, although based on his reported salary, he would still earn the equivalent value in around 79 minutes of league football.

Marcus Rashford's collection also offers another striking comparison, with his reported salary meaning he could earn the equivalent value of some of the high-end vehicles linked to him in less than 90 minutes of league football, depending on the model used.

Ben Welham, motoring expert, said: “Footballers’ cars have always fascinated fans because they offer a glimpse into life away from the pitch. When a player is seen arriving at training in a Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini or rare SUV, it naturally gets people talking.

“What’s particularly interesting is that this curiosity isn’t limited to England’s biggest names. As emerging players become more familiar to fans, searches around what they drive also start to grow, which shows how quickly interest can build around a player’s wider lifestyle.

“As excitement builds around England this summer, people want to know more about the players themselves, and their cars are a big part of that curiosity.”
