England and Wales take a brief break from 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification when they face one another in a friendly on Thursday evening.
The neighbours will lock horns for the fourth time over the past decade, with England winning the last three meetings which included duels at Euro 2016 and the 2022 World Cup. Wales will be hoping to achieve their first victory over the Three Lions since 1984, but will be significant underdogs travelling to Wembley Stadium.
England are beginning to find their feet under Thomas Tuchel after an unconvincing start to his reign, with their 5–0 demolition of Serbia in September underscoring their potential under the German coach. However, they did lose their last friendly back in June, beaten 3–1 by Senegal on home soil.
Wales have impressed under Craig Bellamy and will be eager to keep the good times rolling. They have won three of their last five competitive fixtures and look well-placed to qualify for the upcoming World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Here’s how supporters can tune into the action on Thursday.
