England vs Spain 2026: Group A3 Preview and What Fans Wear

Updated 24 September 2026 · by the Jersey Pro Center team

England host Spain at Wembley on Saturday 26 September 2026 in the opening matchday of League A Group A3. Here are the fixture facts, the full group schedule, and the shirts both sets of supporters wear to it.

What is happening at Wembley on 26 September 2026?

England host Spain at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday 26 September 2026, and the match opens League A Group A3 of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. Kick-off is 19:45 BST, which is 20:45 CEST and 14:45 ET. England and Spain have not met since Spain won the UEFA EURO 2024 final 2-1 in Berlin on 14 July 2024.

Spain come to London as the reigning world champions. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final at New York New Jersey, with Ferran Torres scoring in the 106th minute and Unai Simón keeping a seventh clean sheet of the tournament. Spain also hold the UEFA EURO 2024 title, so they arrive holding both major trophies at once. England's own World Cup run ended in the semi-finals.

The fixture is one of two Group A3 matches on 26 September 2026. Czechia host Croatia at Fortuna Arena in Prague in the other, and both kick off at 20:45 CEST. All fixtures on this page were verified against UEFA.com and englandfootball.com on 24 September 2026. Nothing below is a prediction: it is the published schedule, the group table as it starts, and the shirts supporters actually wear to it.

When is England vs Spain and what time is kick-off?

England vs Spain is on Saturday 26 September 2026 at 19:45 BST at Wembley Stadium in London, in Matchday 1 of League A Group A3 in the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. Wembley Stadium holds 90,000 spectators, and it is England's home ground for the fixture.

England play four Nations League matches in the extended September-October window, from 26 September to 6 October 2026. Spain play three in the same window, plus a home match against Czechia on 6 October 2026.

Which teams are in Nations League Group A3 with England and Spain?

Group A3 contains England, Spain, Croatia and Czechia. It is one of four League A groups, and each of the four teams plays six matches, one at home and one away against each opponent.

Two teams from each League A group reach the quarter-finals on 25-30 March 2027. The third-placed team goes to a promotion-relegation play-off, and the fourth-placed team is relegated to League B.

Which other matches are in Nations League Group A3?

Group A3 plays all six of its matchdays between 26 September 2026 and 15 November 2026, with England and Spain meeting at Wembley in Matchday 1 and again in Spain in Matchday 6.

Croatia vs England on 3 October 2026 is the only Group A3 fixture that does not kick off at 20:45 CEST. It starts at 18:00 CEST at the request of the host broadcaster, which changes the pre-match routine for anyone travelling from the United Kingdom.

What do England fans wear to Wembley?

England supporters wear the England national-team shirt, and the two 2026/27 shirts in stock are the white home shirt and the red away shirt. Both are supporter-cut fan versions with the printing already applied.

Our entire England 2026/27 range carries the same print: GUEHI 6 on the back. That covers the white home shirt, the red away shirt, the close-fitting authentic away shirt and the heritage short-sleeve shirt. If the print on the listing photograph reads GUEHI 6, that is the print that arrives, because the product pages have no field for typing in a different name.

Two practical points for a 26 September 2026 kick-off. The adult England run starts at XS and goes to 4XL, so the full supporter size range is on the shelf rather than a single middle size. And the 2026/27 England home shirt is currently listed in the womens, kids, mini-kit and baby-kit versions, while the adult mens equivalents on the England shelf are the red away shirt, the authentic away shirt and the white heritage short-sleeve shirt.

What do Spain fans wear to Wembley?

Spain supporters wear the Spain national-team shirt. The 2026/27 Spain home shirt is red with navy shoulder and sleeve panels, and the 2026/27 away shirt is cream with burgundy and antique gold trim. Both are stocked as supporter-cut fan versions.

The Spain 2026/27 print across our range is RAUL 7, printed in golden yellow on the red home shirt and in burgundy on the cream away shirt. Alongside the two match shirts we hold the 2026/27 Spain home pre-match shirt in dark blue, and four training pieces in night indigo and bold aqua. Spain's away shirt is where the colour story changes most: it is the lightest shirt Spain have worn in the current cycle, which makes it the easier of the two to wear outside a stadium.

Which shirt should you buy for 26 September 2026?

Match the shirt to the fixture, then to the weather. London in late September runs mild, so a short-sleeve shirt worn over a plain base layer is the practical answer for a 19:45 BST kick-off.

1. Decide which team you are there for. England at Wembley means the white home shirt or the red away shirt. Spain in London means the red home shirt with navy shoulders or the cream away shirt.
2. Pick the print you can see on the photo. England carries GUEHI 6 and Spain carries RAUL 7 across the 2026/27 range. Nothing is printed after you order, so choose from the prints on the listings.
3. Check the cut before the size. Supporter cut runs relaxed and straight, so your normal size usually works. The close-fitting authentic cut reads smaller at the same letter size, so size up if you want room.
4. Add the layers you will actually need. A 19:45 BST kick-off finishes in cool evening air. The 2026/27 Spain pre-match shirt in dark blue and the England pre-match shirt in grey are the pieces built for exactly that.

If you are buying for two sports at once, our NFL jersey buying guide uses the same four-team format, and the nameplate and printing guide explains how the lettering on these shirts is built.

What are the do's and don'ts for a first Nations League matchday?

A Nations League matchday is an international fixture, so the shirt rules are different from a club matchday. These six lines cover the mistakes that cost people a shirt they cannot wear.

What happens after Matchday 1?

England's next Group A3 fixture is Czechia vs England at Fortuna Arena in Prague on 29 September 2026, kick-off 19:45 BST. Croatia vs England follows on 3 October 2026 in Rijeka at 18:00 CEST, then England vs Czechia at Wembley on 6 October 2026 closes the four-match window.

The group finishes in November 2026. England host Croatia on 12 November 2026 and travel to Spain on 15 November 2026, so the Wembley meeting on 26 September 2026 is the first of two England-Spain fixtures inside seven weeks. The 2026/27 UEFA Nations League league phase ends on 17 November 2026, with the League A quarter-finals on 25-30 March 2027 and the finals from 9 to 13 June 2027.
