Under the new leadership of head coach Thomas Tuchel, the England team will aim to secure their spot in the prestigious tournament.<\/p><p>The Three Lions will kick off their campaign with a high-profile double-header at Wembley Stadium. The next year&rsquo;s tournament will be hosted across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. With Thomas Tuchel taking charge of England for the first time, these opening fixtures will be crucial in setting the tone for England&rsquo;s campaign.<\/p><p>&#8203;<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/marcus-rashford-returns-as-thomas-tuchel-announces-first-england-squad-for-world-cup-qualifiers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Thomas Tuchel recently named his England squad <\/a>for the upcoming matches. Aston Villa forward Marcus Rashford has been included in the England squad after a year-long absence. Rashford, who last featured for England in a friendly against Brazil in March 2024, has earned his recall after impressive performances following his loan move from Manchester United to Aston Villa in January. Rashford is still waiting for his first goal at Aston Villa, but he has already contributed four assists. The 27-year-old has won 60 caps for England, scoring eight goals in the process.<\/p><p>There was also a surprise return for former Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson, who is currently at Ajax and last played for England in November 2023. The 34-year-old made headlines with his controversial transfer to Al Ettifaq at the start of last season but he returned to Europe after just six months, joining Ajax in January.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Upcoming Games for England National Football Team?<\/h2><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>England vs. Albania<\/strong><\/h4><p><strong>Date<\/strong>: Friday, March 21, 2025&#8203;<br><strong>Time<\/strong>: 15:45 PM ET&#8203;<br><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Wembley Stadium, London&#8203;<br><strong>Competition<\/strong>: 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier<\/p><p><strong>Also read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/fifa-considering-64-team-expansion-for-2030-world-cup-to-celebrate-centenary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>FIFA considering 64-team expansion for 2030 World Cup to mark 100-year anniversary<\/a><\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">England vs. Latvia<\/h4><p><strong>Date<\/strong>: Monday, March 24, 2025&#8203;<br><strong>Time<\/strong>: 15:45 PM ET&#8203;<br><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Wembley Stadium, London&#8203;<br><strong>Competition<\/strong>: 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier&#8203;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A week to go until our <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FIFAWorldCup?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@FIFAWorldCup<\/a> qualifier against Latvia takes place at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wembleystadium?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@WembleyStadium<\/a> &ndash; a match you can still buy tickets for &#128071;<\/p>&mdash; England (@England) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/England\/status\/1901572970491101516?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 17, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Andorra vs. England<\/h4><p><strong>Date<\/strong>: Saturday, June 7, 2025&#8203;<br><strong>Time<\/strong>: 12:00 PM ET&#8203;<br><strong>Venue<\/strong>: To Be Confirmed&#8203;<br><strong>Competition<\/strong>: 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">England vs. Senegal<\/h4><p><strong>Date<\/strong>: Tuesday, June 10, 2025&#8203;<br><strong>Time<\/strong>: 14:45 PM ET&#8203;<br><strong>Venue<\/strong>: City Ground, West Bridgford&#8203;<br><strong>Competition<\/strong>: International Friendly&#8203;<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">England vs. Andorra<\/h4><p><strong>Date<\/strong>: Saturday, September 6, 2025&#8203;<br><strong>Time<\/strong>: 12:00 PM ET&#8203;<br><strong>Venue<\/strong>: To Be Confirmed&#8203;<br><strong>Competition<\/strong>: 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier <\/p><p>With England looking to make a strong start on home soil, the Wembley crowd will play a vital role in supporting Tuchel&rsquo;s men as they aim to lay the foundation for a successful qualification campaign.
