England vs Croatia is set to take place on 17 June at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with both sides meeting in Group I of the 2026 World Cup.

England enters the tournament among the favourites, with a certain weight of expectation that has followed the Three Lions into every major tournament of late. Croatia, never to be underestimated, will be determined to cause problems from the off.

This is a fixture with history. The two sides have met in memorable knockout stages before, and with both capable of controlling the tempo and creating chances, this Group J clash is a fixture not to be missed. The Road to World Cup 2026 England is the only home nation to have lifted the World Cup trophy, claiming the title on home soil in 1966. Alf Ramsey's side defeated West Germany 4-2 at Wembley in front of more than 96,000 supporters, with Bobby Moore lifting the trophy.

Croatia came in third place at France 98, which stood as one of their finest hours until 2018 when they reached the World Cup Final in Russia, falling just short against France in a 4-2 defeat.

England vs Croatia: Match History

England and Croatia have played against each other at the World Cup just once, and it was a night that still stings for England fans. Meeting in the 2018 semi-final in Moscow, England took an early lead through a Kieran Trippier free-kick, only for Ivan Perišić to equalise before Mario Mandžukić scored the winner in extra time.
