Spain will host England at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid on Sunday, 15 November 2026, in the sixth and final round of the Nations League group stage. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:45 GMT.
The match will be broadcast by La chaine L’Equipe in France, Ziggo Sport 3 in the Netherlands, beIN Sports across MENA and Australia, and Canal+ Sport in sub-Saharan Africa. Viewers in the United States can watch on Prime Video, fuboTV and ViX, while Amazon Prime Video holds the rights in the United Kingdom. Rai 1 will show the game in Italy, with VTM, VTM GO and DAZN available in Belgium.
A closely balanced rivalry
Sunday’s meeting will be the 30th between the two nations. According to Transfermarkt, Spain have won 12 of the previous 29 encounters, while England have recorded 14 victories. The remaining three matches ended in draws.
The figures underline how evenly matched the rivalry has been, with neither side holding a decisive historical advantage ahead of their latest contest in Madrid.
Spain arrive in strong form under Luis de la Fuente. The reigning world champions have not lost since March 2024 and have put together a run of 43 matches unbeaten in all competitions.
That sequence continued on Thursday in Prague, where Spain secured a 2-0 victory. Alex Baena opened the scoring from the penalty spot before Marc Pubill added a late second goal.
England seeking a response
England will travel to Madrid looking to respond to their 3-2 defeat by Spain at Wembley in September. The result remains particularly disappointing for the Three Lions because of Harry Kane’s missed penalty.
A victory would also give England their first win on Spanish soil since 2018.
The two teams therefore arrive with contrasting incentives: Spain are seeking to maintain an exceptional unbeaten record, while England are attempting to avenge their earlier defeat and end a long wait for success away to their opponents.
Prediction
Africafoot’s assessment is that the match could finish level. Spain’s unbeaten run of 43 games, together with their strength at home at the Metropolitano, makes them difficult to overcome. England, however, are expected to be highly motivated by the Wembley result and their record in Spain since 2018.
The prediction is for a tight and competitive encounter, with neither team expected to establish a clear advantage.
Africafoot prediction: Spain 1-1 England
