Real Madrid have confirmed their squad numbers for the 2026/27 season, giving supporters a clear picture of how the shirt list looks for the year ahead. The update was confirmed on 3 October 2026, closing off several numbers that had remained open since the summer window shut.
The confirmed Real Madrid squad numbers show continuity at the top of the squad. Thibaut Courtois keeps No.1, Vinícius Júnior keeps No.7, Kylian Mbappé keeps No.10 and Jude Bellingham keeps No.5. Alongside them sit the numbers handed to newer faces in the squad, including Yan Diomande and Ibrahima Konaté.
Existing squad numbers
Several of the club’s most familiar numbers stay exactly where fans expect them. Courtois continues in goal as No.1, a shirt he has worn since his arrival. Vinícius remains No.7 and Mbappé stays at No.10, the two leading the attack on paper as they have done since the Frenchman signed.
Bellingham keeps No.5 in midfield. Dean Huijsen wears No.4 at the back, and Denzel Dumfries is confirmed at No.24. Raúl Asencio has inherited No.2, the number Dani Carvajal wore before his departure from the club.
Who wears which number?
The full list answers the question supporters keep asking directly. Here is how the confirmed numbers break down across the squad:
- Thibaut Courtois, No.1
- Raúl Asencio, No.2
- Dean Huijsen, No.4
- Jude Bellingham, No.5
- Vinícius Júnior, No.7
- Endrick, No.9
- Kylian Mbappé, No.10
- Ibrahima Konaté, No.16
- Marc Cucurella, No.17
- Carlos Espí, No.19
- Bernardo Silva, No.20
- Denzel Dumfries, No.24
- Yan Diomande, No.25
- Thiago Pitarch, No.27
Konaté’s move to No.16 and Diomande’s switch to No.25 are the two clearest changes for anyone used to last season’s list. Pitarch, meanwhile, is included at No.27, confirming his place within the wider numbered squad for 2026/27.
