Birthplace, not citizenship. These lists group players by the country they were born in, which is what the public roster data records. A player born in one country may hold another nationality, may have grown up elsewhere, and may represent a different country internationally.
Four NBA players on 2026-27 rosters were born in England, and all four are forwards. They represent 4 different teams, with 2 of the 4 born in London and the remaining 2 born in Nottingham and Milton Keynes respectively.
England is one of 46 countries represented among the NBA's international-born players this season. The group ranges in height from 6'7" to 7'0", and in age from 23 to 29.
Think you'd know these players from their team, height, age and jersey number alone?

A Group Made Up Entirely of Forwards
Every player on this list plays forward, a coincidence that spans the full height range — OG Anunoby of the New York Knicks stands 6'7" wearing #8, while Boston Celtics forward Amari Williams checks in at 7'0" wearing #77. Jeremy Sochan (#4, Portland Trail Blazers, 6'8") and Tobi Lawal (#33, Dallas Mavericks, 6'8") sit between them. Sochan, born in Milton Keynes, is the youngest of the group at age 23; Anunoby, born in London, is the oldest at 29.
Colleges and Birthplaces Across England
The 4 players attended 4 different colleges: Baylor, Indiana, Kentucky, and Virginia Tech — each school represented by exactly one player. London is the most common birthplace, with Anunoby and Lawal both born there. Sochan was born in Milton Keynes and Williams in Nottingham.
England Among the NBA's International Birthplaces
The NBA draws international-born players from 46 countries in 2026-27, with 120 players born outside the United States. England's contribution of 4 players places it among the smaller but consistent sources of NBA talent on that global list.
