England vs. Wales Showdown: Your Complete Viewing Guide for TV and Live Streaming
England and Wales will pause their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaigns for a friendly encounter this Thursday evening.
These neighboring nations will meet for the fourth occasion in the last ten years, with England claiming victory in their previous three encounters, including matches at Euro 2016 and the 2022 World Cup. Wales will be looking to secure their first triumph against the Three Lions since 1984, though they enter as heavy underdogs when visiting Wembley Stadium.
England are starting to establish their rhythm under Thomas Tuchel following a shaky beginning to his tenure, with their commanding 5–0 victory over Serbia in September highlighting their capabilities under the German manager. Nevertheless, they suffered defeat in their most recent friendly in June, falling 3–1 to Senegal at home.
Wales have shown promise under Craig Bellamy and will be keen to maintain their positive momentum. They have secured three wins from their last five competitive matches and appear well-positioned to earn qualification for the forthcoming World Cup across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Here's how fans can follow the action this Thursday.
