"England will face Croatia, Ghana and Panama in Group L of the 2026 World Cup. The draw was eventually made in Washington DC, US on Friday evening, with the Three Lions marked as a Pot 1 team and thus earning top spot in their group. Croatia, who faced England in the 2018 World Cup semi-finals, will once again go up against their European partners and hope they can come out on top again."
"England marked their return to the World Cup in stunning fashion, delivering a flawless campaign under new head coach Thomas Tuchel. The Three Lions won all eight of the European qualifiers, scoring 22 times and conceding no goals, a huge warning to rivals who will be competing for the crown next summer. Tuchel's side will face Croatia in their opener, before taking on, Ghana and then finally Panama."
England will face Croatia, Ghana and Panama in Group L of the 2026 World Cup. The draw took place in Washington DC, with England placed in Pot 1 and given top spot in the group. Croatia returns as Group L opposition after meeting England in the 2018 World Cup semi-finals. Panama came from Pot 3 and Ghana completed the group. England won all eight European qualifiers, scoring 22 goals and conceding none under new head coach Thomas Tuchel. England can only face one of Spain or Argentina because of FIFA ranking rules, and they avoided Scotland due to the one-European-team-per-group rule. Match order is Croatia, Ghana, then Panama. The tournament runs from 11 June to 19 July 2026.
