Our England teams were well represented in the PFA Awards for the 2025-26 season.

The winners of the PFA Awards for the 2025-26 season were revealed on Friday morning, with a number of England players from across our national teams honoured in various categories.

Three Lions midfielder Declan Rice was voted into the top six in the Men’s PFA Players’ Player of the Year, while the Lionesses were well represented in the Women's PFA Players’ Player of the Year with Jess Park, Lauren James and Alessio Russo all voted into the top six.

A number of our Young Lions were also included in the Men’s PFA Young Player of the Year top six, with World Cup squad members Nico O’Reilly and Kobbie Mainoo joined by Liverpool’s Rio Ngumoha and Arsenal’s Max Dowman.

And two more members of our current England women’s senior squad have been voted into the top six of the Women’s PFA Young Player of the Year, with Laura Blindkilde Brown and Freya Godfrey included.

Congratulations to all of the players who have been recognised!
