England Face Croatia at Wembley as Final International Break of 2026 Begins

England host Croatia at Wembley on Thursday night in the pick of the final international window of 2026, with the Nations League group phase reaching its decisive stage.

The two sides meet in Group A3 on Thursday, November 12, kicking off at 7.45pm, before England travel to Madrid to face Spain on Sunday — the last two matches of their group campaign.

Thomas Tuchel has handed first senior call-ups to Jobe Bellingham and Josh King for the two games, while Harry Kane is in line to become England’s most-capped man.

A group full of heavyweights

England, Croatia and Spain sit together in one of the strongest Nations League groups, alongside the Czech Republic — and the September defeat to Spain is one England will be keen to avenge in Madrid.

Elsewhere in the window

Italy against France is the other headline tie on Thursday, while Spain have already secured their place in the quarter-finals and will be looking to finish the group strongly.
