Best Away Kits of the 2026/27 Nations League: 6 Shirts Worth Buying
Updated September 25, 2026 · 7 min read
1. When nations actually wear their away shirt
An away shirt exists for two reasons. The practical one: when both teams’ first colours are too close, the designated away shirt takes the pitch. In this season’s League A that is a real scenario — Portugal’s deep red against Denmark’s red in Group A4, and Spain’s red against Croatia’s red-and-white checks in Group A3 are exactly the kind of fixtures where alternates come out. The other reason is simpler: this year’s away designs are genuinely good, and several are better-looking than the shirts they back up.
Buying logic follows from that. If you already own your nation’s home shirt — or you are buying for a fan who does — the away shirt is the natural second purchase. If you are choosing one shirt only, start with our Nations League 2026/27 jersey guide, which compares home shirts across all four groups. And if you are unsure how the three cuts differ at all, the home vs away vs third kits guide breaks it down.
2. The six best away kits, ranked
All six are in stock now, in 2026/27 designs, with men’s, women’s and kids’ options on the biggest names. Ranked by how strongly we would recommend the design and the depth of stock behind it:
| Rank | Away kit | Colourway | Buy it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Germany | Deep navy — the darkest shirt of the League A cycle | The clearest break from a white home shirt; looks like a keeper kit in the best way |
| 2 | Croatia | Royal blue with red-white accents | The boldest colour Croatia have worn in years — and a change from the checkerboard |
| 3 | Portugal | Pale mint with tonal trim | The shirt Portugal turn to when both teams wear red — see Group A4 vs Denmark |
| 4 | Netherlands | Off-white with orange detailing | A quieter take on Oranje — legacy prints available, from Bergkamp 10 to Van Nistelrooy |
| 5 | France | Clean white with subtle accents | Minimalist look; fresh names like Doué 20 alongside the usual stars |
| 6 | Italy | Ice grey-blue | The value pick — blank backs from $35.99 |
A note on depth: Germany, Netherlands and Portugal away shirts exist in blank, printed, women’s and kids’ versions in our stock, which matters if you are buying for the whole family or want a specific name on the back. Italy’s away shirt is the value play — a blank back at $35.99 that you can customise with any name and number.

The away-shirt decision ends the same way as the home one: clean back or star on it. Player-printed away shirts run $39.90 — Brandt 17 for Germany, Gvardiol 4 for Croatia, Ronaldo 7 for Portugal, Bergkamp 10 for the Netherlands, Doué 20 for France. Blank backs start at $35.99 and leave the shirt open for your own printing. For how the constructions differ in fabric and fit, see our player edition vs fan version guide.
| Version | Price | Back of the shirt |
|---|---|---|
| Blank away shirt | From $35.99 | Clean — ready for your own name and number |
| Player away shirt | $39.90 | Pre-printed name and number, e.g. Brandt 17, Ronaldo 7 |
| Kids' away shirt | From $35.99 | Blank or printed, youth sizing |
Budget tip: two player-printed shirts cost $79.80, which clears the free-shipping line on orders of $57 or more. One printed shirt at $39.90 ships for a flat $7, or pair it with a kids’ shirt to reach the $57 free-shipping line.
4. Away shirts in women’s and kids’ sizes
The away range is deeper than most fans expect. In stock right now: Germany’s away shirt in women’s cuts with Kroos 8 or Wirtz 17 ($39.90), Italy’s away shirt in women’s and kids’ versions from $35.99, Netherlands’ away shirt for kids with Dumfries 22 or Xavi 7 ($37.80), and Croatia’s away shirt for kids with Gvardiol 4 ($37.80). Portugal’s away shirt also comes in a women’s R.Leao 17 and a kids’ mini-kit.
If you are buying for a child, the mini-kits are the easiest win: shirt and shorts, sized by age rather than chest. For exact numbers, measure first — our league-by-league size chart and soccer jersey sizing guide cover the youth-to-adult overlap in detail.
5. Fit and when to order
Away shirts share the home shirt’s block: national team soccer shirts cut slimmer than NFL jerseys, with no pads to build around. Take your measured size for the close on-pitch look, or size up once for a casual fit — the free size exchange covers a wrong call either way.
Timing: the league phase runs six matchdays from 24 September to 17 November 2026, and dispatch takes 7–15 business days. For the November matchdays, order by mid-October. The League A quarter-finals and promotion play-offs follow on 25–30 March 2027, with the finals 9–13 June 2027 — away shirts from the group stage tend to be the designs fans are still hunting by the knockouts, so the best stock depth is right now.

I already own the home shirt — which away shirt should I add?
Pick the away design from your group’s clash fixture, so you have the shirt your nation wears when colours collide: Portugal’s mint against Denmark, Croatia’s royal blue against Spain. If design matters more than fixture logic, Germany’s navy is the strongest looking of the cycle.
