Trippier was called up to the senior team for the first time in May 2017 for the 2018 World Cup qualifier against Scotland and the friendly match against France, making his debut against the latter on 13 June in a 3–2 defeat.

He was named in the 23-man England national team squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
On 11 July 2018, Trippier scored his first England goal, opening the scoring with a free-kick in a 2–1 extra-time loss to Croatia in Moscow.
He was injured in extra time with all substitutions played, so England played the final ten minutes with ten men.
He was widely praised as one of the best performers for the England team at the World Cup, particularly for his crosses and dead-ball delivery on set pieces, prompting comparison with David Beckham.
He was ranked the most creative player of the tournament, having created 24 chances in all games played.
