England are scheduled to begin their Nations League A3 campaign against Spain at Wembley Stadium on 26 September. Kick-off is set for 7.45pm BST.

The fixture is the sides’ first meeting since the Euro 2024 final, according to the Yahoo Sports preview. UK viewers can watch on ITV1 or stream the match on ITVX.

England have several injury-related absences. The preview says Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Tino Livramento, Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo have withdrawn, while Reece James and John Stones were unavailable for selection. Morgan Gibbs-White and James Garner have been called up as replacements.

Spain are also missing players: Pedro Porro and Joan Garcia are unavailable, and Marcos Llorente has retired from international football. The preview’s predicted line-ups are not confirmed team selections.

Croatia and the Czech Republic are also in the group. The top two teams are due to advance to the Nations League quarter-finals.
