England face 2026 World Cup winners Spain in their next Nations League match this evening, kicking off at 7:45pm BST.

The match will be broadcast by ITV, with a selection of pundits, commentators and presenters set to lead the Group C coverage.

The two sides last faced off in the 2024 European Championship final, which Spain won by a 2-1 scoreline in added time. Now, can Thomas Tuchel’s men get their revenge?
