Bonetti earned seven [[Cap (football)|caps]] for [[England national football team|England]], kept out of the team by [[Gordon Banks]]. He was a member of England's successful [[1966 FIFA World Cup]] squad, but did not make an appearance.<ref name=bbc/>

Bonetti's England career is largely remembered for one match – the [[1970 FIFA World Cup]] quarter-final against [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] in Mexico. He was thrust into the starting line-up as a late replacement for Banks, who was suffering from severe [[food poisoning]]. During the match England relinquished a 2–0 second-half lead and lost 3–2 after extra time. Bonetti received a large amount of blame from the public for the loss, and never played for England again.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Burnton |first1=Simon |title=World Cup stunning moments: Gordon Banks is stricken |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/jun/09/world-cup-stunning-moments-gordon-banks-england-1970 |access-date=12 April 2020 |newspaper=The Guardian |date=25 May 2018}}</ref>
