Spain face England today, Saturday, September 26, 2026, in a major UEFA Nations League League A Group A3 matchup at Wembley Stadium in London.
Kickoff is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET (7:45 p.m. BST).
The match begins Spain’s 2026–27 UEFA Nations League campaign, with England, Croatia and Czechia also competing in Group A3. Every point could prove important as the teams battle for qualification to the knockout stage.
Here is what happens if Spain win, draw or lose against England today.
What Happens If Spain Beat England?
If Spain defeat England, they will earn three points and begin their UEFA Nations League campaign with a 1-0-0 record.
A victory at Wembley would put Spain in a strong early position in Group A3. Depending on the result between Croatia and Czechia, Spain could finish Matchday 1 at the top of the group or level on three points with another team.
It would also give Spain another victory over England following their 2-1 win against the Three Lions in the UEFA Euro 2024 final.
Spain would still have five group-stage matches remaining, including the return fixture against England.
What Happens If Spain and England Tie?
If Spain and England draw, both countries will receive one point.
Spain would begin its Nations League campaign with a 0-1-0 record and one point, while England would also collect one point.
The Croatia vs. Czechia result would then play a major role in determining the early Group A3 standings.
A draw away at Wembley would keep Spain firmly in contention, with five matches remaining to secure a place in the quarterfinals.
What Happens If Spain Lose to England?
If Spain lose to England, Spain will receive zero points while England will collect all three.
Spain would begin its campaign 0-0-1 and could finish Matchday 1 three points behind one or more Group A3 opponents.
However, losing to England would not eliminate Spain from the UEFA Nations League or make qualification impossible.
Spain would still have five group-stage matches remaining to recover, including a home match against England later in the competition.
