England know who they will face at the 2026 World Cup -- here's everything you need to know about how to buy tickets, and how to watch the games on TV.
When and where will England's games be?
England know their group stage opponents at the 2026 World Cup. But kickoff times and stadium locations won't be confirmed until Saturday Dec. 5.
For now, we can narrow down the locations of England's games.
They will play Croatia on June 17, with the game to be staged in either Toronto or Dallas.
They face Ghana on June 23 in Toronto or Boston. Then play on June 27 against Panama in either New York or Philadelphia.
The full schedule reveal is set for Saturday, with FIFA presenting a live broadcast from 5 p.m. GMT.
This "allocation process," per FIFA, "aims to ensure the best possible conditions for all teams and spectators" and enables fans "to watch their teams play live across different time zones."
In practice, that means FIFA will place group-stage matches in the most suitable location based on time zones, of which there are four across the 16 host cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Tickets for the FIFA World Cup 2026 are on sale now.

Phase 2 has also completed. The Early Ticket Draw released another million tickets via Fifa.com/tickets. More tickets will be made available.
The Random Selection Draw is Phase 3 and will open after the draw on Dec. 5. Fans can submit applications for specific matches. You must create an account on the FIFA website, and create a unique ID. This enables you to participate in a lottery.
If you are successful in the lottery, FIFA will email you and give you up to 72 hours to purchase a ticket.
Fans in the host nations of the United States, Canada and Mexico have a 72-hour priority window.
There is a sales window from Dec. 11 to Jan. 13 when fixed prices will be used for customers buying in the random selection draw.
FIFA have said they will not utilise 'dynamic pricing', where the price of a ticket can fluctuate based on demand.
A statement to Sky News confirmed: "FIFA can confirm ringfenced allocations are being set aside for specific fan categories, as has been the case at previous FIFA World Cups. These allocations will be set at a fixed price for the duration of the next ticket sales phase.
