Right sleeve: the standard black or white tournament badge. The light or dark version depends on the kit.
Left sleeve: the rotating round patch, starting with Unite for Peace in the group stage, then Football Unites the World and Unite for Education through the knockouts.
Austria, known as das Team, dress in their traditional red shirts and white shorts — a combination that dates back generations and makes them one of the more recognisable sides in European football. Still chasing a first World Cup title, Austria wear the standard black or white 2026 right-sleeve badge, with the darker version suiting the vivid red home kit and the lighter version pairing with the white away strip. Austria are drawn in Group J.
The left sleeve carries the rotating round patch that shifts as the tournament advances — opening with "Unite for Peace" during the group stage before cycling through the knockout-round designs. The badge on the shirt therefore depends on which match you are collecting, and the table below maps each design to its stage. These are aftermarket reproduction patches for the 2026 World Cup.
