England will face New Zealand and Costa Rica on the eve of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Three Lions will play both nations during a preparation camp in south Florida.
Thomas Tuchel’s side will take on New Zealand on Saturday 6 June before facing Costa Rica on Wednesday 10 June, with both match venues to be confirmed in due course.
England will be based in Kansas City, Missouri for the duration of the tournament. Swope Soccer Village will be the Three Lions’ training base with Kansas City identified as the preferred location in January 2025 following an extensive search.
Swope Soccer Village is one of Sporting Kansas City’s training facilities and the current home of the club’s MLS NEXT Pro and MLS NEXT sides. The complex, located in the heart of Kansas City’s historic Swope Park, has previously hosted a variety of national and club sides having opened in 2007.
It will be England men’s third meeting with New Zealand with the previous two matches against the All Whites both coming in June 1991 in Auckland and Wellington respectively.
