England confirm March friendlies

Last Updated : 12-Dec-2025 by Three Lions

England will face Uruguay and Japan at Wembley in March in their final two matches before Thomas Tuchel names his squad for the 2026 World Cup in North America.

Having eased through their qualifying group with little in the way of meaningful tests, Tuchel is keen to see his side in action against quality opposition.

"We wanted to play two teams ranked in the top 20 in the world, but also to test ourselves against opponents from outside of Europe," said the England manager.

His side will play two further warm-up matches in America prior to their group stages games against Croatia, Ghana and Panama.

ITV will screen the Croatia and Panama matches with the Ghana clash on the BBC after the terrestrial broadcasters made their picks earlier this week.

Watching at home on the box looks increasingly likely to be the sensible option for England supporters after a pricing structure for the tournament was announced that the Football Supporters' Association have described as 'scandalous'.
