Spain Host England in Nations League Group A3 Decider in Madrid

An England win would clinch the group title and both teams face late fitness checks that could shape March 2027 quarter-final paths.

Overview

  • The match is scheduled for Sunday, November 15, with kick-off at 2:45pm ET / 19:45 GMT at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid.
  • Both sides have already qualified for the Nations League quarter-finals and an England victory would secure the Group A3 title and a March 2027 quarter-final against a group runner-up.
  • Spain arrive as reigning World Cup champions in strong form, having won their last five matches, and coach Luis de la Fuente expects winger Lamine Yamal to be available after a recent knee issue.
  • England carry heavy attacking form and a +12 goal differential but face defensive absences with Marc Guéhi sidelined and Bukayo Saka unavailable while Ezri Konsa and Djed Spence are to be assessed.
  • The rematch follows a 3-2 Spain win at Wembley where Harry Kane missed a penalty, and the game will be shown live on ITV1 in the UK and on FS1 / FoxSports.com in the United States.
