England’s potential Euro 2028 fixtures, dates and potential route for tournament in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland

Euro 2028 takes place across England, Wales, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland at nine different stadiums; only two host nations will get automatic qualification; Spain are the defending champions after beating England in the final at Euro 2024; tournament starts June 9 to July 9

England's Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers are competing for the same spot, says Thomas Tuchel

 

With the schedule for Euro 2028 launched, we look at England’s potential fixtures, the dates and where they will be playing should they qualify for the tournament.

The Euro 2028 schedule has been confirmed, with Wales potentially playing in the opening game of the tournament at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff while England could play their first match at the Etihad Stadium.

The competition will start on June 9 and conclude in the final at Wembley on July 9 across nine stadiums in England, Wales, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland, with 51 matches in total involving 24 teams.

The four host nations will not be handed automatic qualification for Euro 2028 although they will play all group games in front of their own fans if they qualify directly, meaning Wales have the chance to play in the opening match.

But should they qualify, here’s England’s schedule and their potential route through the tournament…

How will host nations qualify?

All four countries will go through qualification, with two automatic places set aside for the best-ranked host nations who do not qualify on the pitch.

If at least two of England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland qualify, then all four nations will appear in the tournament.

Depending on the number of spots used by the host nations, the number of final tournament spots decided by play-offs may vary between two and four, in one of the three following scenarios:

Both reserved qualifying slots for the hosts used: Eight teams compete in two paths for two final tournament spots, with single-leg semi-finals and finals.

One reserved qualifying slot for the hosts used: 12 teams compete in three paths for three final tournament spots, with single-leg semi-finals and finals.

No reserved qualifying slot for the hosts used: Eight teams contest four home-and-away play-off ties, with the winners advancing to the final tournament.
