Vinicius Junior Shirt Number at Real Madrid (2026-27): What Number Does He Wear?

What shirt number does Vinicius Junior wear at Real Madrid?

Vinicius Junior wears the No. 7 shirt at Real Madrid for the 2026-27 season. The Brazilian winger has worn No. 7 at the Santiago Bernabeu since the 2022-23 campaign, taking over one of the most storied numbers in club football. The Vinicius Junior jersey with No. 7 on the back is among Real Madrid’s best-selling shirts worldwide.

Why is Vinicius Junior’s number a talking point right now?

Because of his Brazil number, not his club one. Vinicius Junior publicly handed the Brazil national team’s iconic No. 10 to Neymar, stating plainly that “the 10 belongs to Neymar.” Reporting (SI, World Soccer Talk, beIN Sports) indicates Vini is expected to wear No. 7 for Brazil as well, mirroring his Real Madrid number. This has yet to be officially confirmed, so treat the Brazil No. 7 as strongly reported rather than locked in. His Real Madrid No. 7, by contrast, is settled and confirmed.

Has Vinicius Junior always worn number 7?

No. When Vinicius Junior joined Real Madrid in 2018, he wore the No. 28 as a teenager breaking into the first team. He later switched to No. 20 before claiming the No. 7 shirt ahead of the 2022-23 season, the number he has held ever since and carries into 2026-27.

What position does Vinicius Junior play?

Vinicius Junior plays primarily as a left winger and forward for Real Madrid. He is known for his explosive pace, dribbling and direct running at defenders, and was the matchwinner in Real Madrid’s 2023-24 Champions League final. The No. 7 shirt suits his profile as an attacking talisman in the mold of the club’s famous wide forwards.
