What PUMA football boots are players wearing at the 2026 tournament?

1 MIN READ

Three lines, three jobs: the FUTURE 9 for control, the ULTRA 6 for speed, and the KING 20 for touch — all featured in PUMA's Showtime pack for the tournament.

What PUMA boots are players wearing at the 2026 tournament?

PUMA athletes at the 2026 tournament are wearing three boot lines — the FUTURE 9, the ULTRA 6, and the KING 20 — each built for a different style of play.

The real draw is who's wearing what. Below: the PUMA stars at the tournament and the boots on their feet — all from the brand's Showtime pack — followed by how the three lines compare and how to choose your own.

Which players wear PUMA boots at the 2026 tournament?

PUMA's tournament boot athletes include Neymar Jr., Kai Havertz, Memphis Depay, Cody Gakpo, Morgan Rogers, Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic.

Boots are a personal choice, so you'll spot PUMA on feet across many of the competing nations this summer. Most of these players lace up a Showtime-pack FUTURE 9 or ULTRA 6, and Pulisic has his own KidSuper-designed ULTRA 6 player edition celebrating the USA as co-host.

Which PUMA boot should I choose?

For pure speed, the ULTRA 6 is the natural pick; if you live on the ball, the FUTURE 9 leans into control; and for a soft, traditional touch, it's hard to beat the KING 20.


Speed $240/230€ ULTRA 6 Ultimate

PUMA ULTRA 6

PUMA's lightest, most aggressive boot. The engineered mesh upper keeps weight down while the SPEEDSYSTEM outsole and FastTrax studs snap you into acceleration — best for players whose game is built on getting there first. View the ULTRA 6 →


Creativity $245/240€ FUTURE 9 Ultimate

PUMA FUTURE 9

The adaptable control boot. FUZIONFIT wraps the foot for a locked-in fit, and the GripControl Pro surface gives a textured, dependable touch in any condition — made for players who live on the ball. View the FUTURE 9 →


Touch $220/220€ KING 20 Ultimate

PUMA KING 20

The heritage line, carried forward. Soft TOTALTOUCH+ upper delivers the comfort and classic leather-like feel PUMA has been known for across generations — a great fit for players who prize touch and comfort. View the KING 20 →


What's the difference between PUMA FUTURE, ULTRA, and KING?

The FUTURE is the creativity boot, the ULTRA is the speed boot, and the KING is the heritage touch boot — three distinct designs rather than tiers of the same one.

What is the PUMA Showtime pack?

The Showtime pack is PUMA's boot collection for the 2026 tournament, applied across the FUTURE 9, ULTRA 6, and KING 20.

It brings bold, tropical-inspired colourways and PUMA's signature mismatched left-and-right design to all three boot lines — a deliberate nod to the brand's iconic 2014 Tricks pack. It's the collection to look for if you want the boots as they appear during this summer's tournament.
