England's opening tournament opponents Croatia have confirmed their March friendlies and will warm-up for the World Cup with two matches on US soil.
Zlatko Dalic's side will take on Colombia in Orlando on 26 March and then Brazil in the same city five days later.
Having reached the final, at England's expense, in 2018 and then the semi-finals in Qatar, Croatia represent extremely tough opening opponents for England and, with Luka Modric still going strong, came through qualifying for 2026 in comfortable fashion with seven wins and a draw from their eight matches.
England's March schedule sees them in Wembley action against Uruguay and Japan, the final opportunities in an international environment for players to secure their places in Thomas Tuchel's final squad.
