It would take Gareth Southgate’s squad from Guildhall in the City of London, past St Paul’s, through Trafalgar Square before heading down The Mall to Buckingham Palace for a royal reception.
Prince William, who is president of the FA, could lead the royal reception, the Evening Standard reports.
And if it goes ahead it’s predicted that up to a million footie fans could line the parade route to welcome the team home.
The open top bus parade would kick off two days of celebrations on Monday with the team also lined up to meet prime minster Sir Keir Starmer at Downing Street.
Sir Keir is expected to travel to Berlin to watch the game on Sunday, where the England men’s team could win their first major trophy since 1966.
In 1966, the Queen presented the World Cup trophy to England captain Bobby Moore at Wembley stadium.
