Last Updated : 11-Feb-2026 by Three Lions

Thomas Tuchel's side will play New Zealand and Costa Rica in the USA in early June, England's final warm-up matches ahead of the start of the 2026 World Cup.

The games will take place in South Florida on Saturday 6th and Wednesday 10th respecitvely, the Costa Rica game coming on the eve of the tournament proper but one week before England's World Cup opener against Croatia.

That late start to the competition narrowed the potential opponents for the second warm-up with Costa Rica available having not qualified from their Concacaf group.

England's last matches on home soil are the March friendlies against Uruguay and Japan at Wembley.
