A final warm‑up before the world stage
The Three Lions will meet Costa Rica in a high‑stakes friendly at Inter&Co Stadium on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, kicking off at 3:50 p.m. Eastern Time.
The match marks the last opportunity for England’s manager to fine‑tune tactics before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the team will be placed in Group L alongside Croatia, Ghana and Panama.
England’s opening World Cup fixture is scheduled for Dallas, Texas, where they will take on Croatia in what promises to be a tightly contested opener.
Following the Dallas encounter, the English squad will travel to Foxborough, Massachusetts, to face Ghana on June 23, before concluding their group campaign in New Jersey against Panama on June 27.
All three group matches will be aired on FOX Sports 2, giving U.S. viewers a chance to follow the action live.
Beyond the on‑field drama, the fixtures also serve as a showcase for the growing popularity of soccer in the United States, with venues ranging from the iconic Dallas Cowboys’ home to the historic Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
