While the focus for now is on these end of term friendlies, eyes will soon turn to what the new year holds for England.
They will look to qualify for the 2027 World Cup, to be held in Brazil, and have been drawn alongside Spain – who beat them in the 2023 final – in their preliminary group.
England will host world champions Spain at Wembley in April, with the return fixture in June. Only the group winners qualify automatically for the World Cup.
Alongside Spain, England have been drawn against Iceland and Ukraine.
