Harry Kane Considers Dual NFL and MLS Career Path
England soccer star Harry Kane is contemplating a future where he could play in both the NFL as a kicker and in Major League Soccer.
Minot Bismarck Dickinson, ND, September 23, 2026 —
England and Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane is reportedly considering a unique and ambitious career path that could see him competing in two major professional sports leagues: the National Football League (NFL) and Major League Soccer (MLS).
The prospect involves Kane potentially transitioning to play as a kicker in the NFL, a sport fundamentally different from the soccer he has dominated for years. Simultaneously, he is contemplating a continued or renewed presence in Major League Soccer.
Details regarding the specific timeline or the motivations behind Kane’s contemplation of this dual-sport future have not been provided. It remains unclear which NFL or MLS teams, if any, have been involved in discussions or if this is a personal aspiration being explored.
Kane, a prominent figure in international soccer, has achieved significant accolades throughout his career, establishing himself as one of the sport’s elite goal scorers. His potential move into a kicking role in American football would represent a significant pivot, requiring a distinct skillset and adaptation to a new sporting environment.
The NFL features a critical kicking position, responsible for field goals and extra points, which demands precision, power, and composure under pressure. Major League Soccer, on the other hand, is the top-tier professional soccer league in the United States and Canada, where Kane has been a familiar name in global football discussions.
This potential career trajectory, should it come to fruition, would mark an extraordinary crossover in professional sports. The exact feasibility and the next steps in Kane’s contemplation are subjects of ongoing interest.
