England face a rematch with their Euro 2024 final conquerors Spain in the 2026-27 Nations League.
The draw took place in Brussels on the day it was announced England head coach Thomas Tuchel had agreed a contract extension which takes in the Nations League and the European Championship on home soil in 2028.
Spain broke the hearts of England in the final of Euro 2024 in Germany, which turned out to be Gareth Southgate’s final match in charge. Tuchel’s men will also take on Croatia and the Czech Republic in Group A3.
