Witness England as they make their final preparations for the 2026 World Cup, this is your chance to see the world's elite, including Kane, Saka, Bellingham, and Rice live in action!
England is coming to Tampa and Orlando!
Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, and Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando will host the England men's national team for two international friendlies as part of the Three Lions’ preparations for the FIFA World Cup in Summer 2026.
The two matches will be among the first occasions the Three Lions have competed on U.S. soil in more than 20 years, underscoring the significance of the match as anticipation builds toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co‑hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The Three Lions will face New Zealand at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Saturday 6 June (4pm local/9pm BST kick-off). Thomas Tuchel’s side will then welcome Costa Rica to the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando on Wednesday 10 June (4pm local/9pm BST kick-off).
Both fixtures will form a key part of England’s preparation camp in south Florida ahead of moving to the squad’s basecamp in Kansas City, Missouri for the duration of the tournament. Drawn into Group L, England will face Croatia, Ghana and Panama during the group stage of the tournament.
The Raymond James Stadium is home to the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers and hosted Super Bowl LV in 2021. It will stage England men’s third meeting with New Zealand, with the previous two matches with the All Whites both coming in June 1991.
The Inter&Co Stadium is home to both MLS side Orlando City and Orlando Pride of the NWSL. The venue has previously hosted major football events including World Cup qualifiers, the SheBelieves Cup and the 2019 MLS All-Star Game. The Three Lions have faced Costa Rica on two previous occasions with the most recent being at Leeds United’s Elland Road ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
