Iran are set to wear new home and away kits at the 2026 World Cup, according to Footy Headlines, the specialist kit-tracking publication that has a reliable record of breaking manufacturer and design news ahead of official announcements.

The site reports that the strips will be completely new designs rather than adaptations of existing matchday kit, though further details — including the manufacturer, colourways, and release date — had not been published at the time Footy Headlines filed its report.

Iran qualified for the 2026 tournament, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and will be one of the more watched sides in the expanded 48-team field. The team has a substantial diaspora support base spread across Europe and North America, which tends to amplify commercial interest in their kit cycles around major tournaments.

Kit announcements for the 2026 World Cup have been arriving in waves across the spring and early summer of 2025, with several nations unveiling strips well in advance of the tournament to maximise retail windows. Iran's announcement, when it comes, will follow that pattern.

Footy Headlines indicated further details would follow. Touchline will update this piece when the full design and release information becomes available.
