The England football fixtures across September and October will see the Three Lions lock horns with three opponents across four fixtures as the 2026-27 Nations League gets underway.
Supporters will still be feeling the affects of the heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Argentina in the World Cup semi-final in July. Although Thomas Tuchel’s side claimed bronze by beating France 6-4 in an extraordinary third-place playoff, international football’s greatest prize eluded England once again.
However, the time for dwelling is over as Tuchel’s charges get to test themselves over a 12-day period against some rather notable rivals.
England Football Fixtures: Three Lions Face Spain, Czech Republic And Croatia
The next international break – which will run from September 21 – October 6 – pits England against Spain, the Czech Republic and Croatia. A full house at Wembley is expected for the visit of La Roja, who famously won the 2026 World Cup this summer.
Three days later, the Three Lions take on the Czech Republic in Prague before travelling to Rijeka where Thomas Tuchel’s side will play Croatia. The fourth and final fixture over the extended September break will see the Czech’s come to the home of football on October 6.

England Football Squad For September’s And October’s Nations League Fixtures
The England vs Spain odds are already live ahead of Saturday’s Group A3 opener but which players has Thomas Tuchel included in his squad for the September and October internationals? As usual, there were plenty of talking points with his inclusions and exclusions.
Perhaps the biggest eye-opener was not calling up Morgan Gibbs-White. However, the Nottingham Forest star has now joined the squad after Cole Palmer pulled out owing to ‘load management’ issues. Elsewhere, it’s expected that Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford will follow Palmer out of St George’s Park after suffering niggles against Fulham.
England football squad for September’s and October’s Nations League fixtures:
Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford, Jason Steele, James Trafford
Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarrad Branthwaite, Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Guehi, Lewis Hall, Ezri Konsa (Arsenal), Tino Livramento, Nico O’Reilly, Jarell Quansah
Midfielders: Elliot Anderson, Jude Bellingham, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Kobbie Mainoo, Declan Rice, Alex Scott
