England’s men will kick off their Euro 2028 campaign at the Etihad Stadium, assuming they achieve the relative formality of qualification for a tournament staged across most of the United Kingdom and in the Republic of Ireland.

Manchester City’s home has not hosted an England men’s game since May 2016, when Turkey were beaten 2-1 in a friendly, but looks certain to welcome the national team for their first match on Saturday 10 June 2028. England are scheduled to play their final two group matches at Wembley but, should they win Group B, their last-16 tie would take place at Newcastle’s St James’ Park. Finishing second would mean starting the knockouts at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium.
