The Whoop 5.0 fitness tracker, relied upon by the England World Cup squad, is currently on sale for Amazon Prime Day at £189, reduced from £229. The device is also favored by elite athletes including Cristiano Ronaldo, Rory McIlroy, and Michael Phelps.
England Squad’s Secret Weapon
When England arrived in Florida to prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, sharp-eyed fans noticed several squad members wearing Whoop fitness trackers. Although Whoop is not an official sponsor of the England team or the Football Association, its widespread use appears to stem from the technology’s performance benefits rather than promotional deals. The wearable is also popular with LeBron James, Prince William, and Niall Horan.
Performance Tracking During the Tournament
England’s players are using the Whoop 5.0 model to receive detailed data on their fitness, sleep, and recovery throughout the 37-day tournament. The screen-free device can be worn even during matches, helping athletes optimize performance and rest between games. With a packed schedule and long-distance travel, managing recovery is a key factor in England’s campaign, which continues tonight against Ghana after their win over Croatia.
Whoop 5.0 Features and Prime Day Deal
The Whoop 5.0 is an upgrade over the 4.0 model, which former Standard Shopping editor Ellie Davis reviewed as “a hugely enlightening process.” She praised the 4.0 for monitoring sleep—calling it “a game-changer”—and for providing “science-based info on my body’s need for recovery and my high-stress triggers.” The 5.0 offers clearer insight into how bodies respond to training, stress, and rest by monitoring sleep, strain, recovery, and VO2 max.
The device operates through a membership model, but the Whoop 5.0 fitness tracker includes a 12-month membership with every purchase. The Amazon Prime Day price of £189 represents a £40 saving off the regular price of £229.
