Spain's men's national football team will face England at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid on 15 November 2026, the final match of Group 3 in the UEFA Nations League. Both sides are semifinalists from the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, and the result could decide which team reaches the competition's fourth Final Four.
