"Co-hosts England may play two games away from Wembley at Euro 2028. BBC Sport has been told the Three Lions, who will have to qualify for the tournament, would play one of their three group matches at one of the other five English stadiums hosting games - Etihad Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Villa Park, Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium and St James' Park in Newcastle."
"Wembley will not host any last-16 games, meaning England would also face a match away from the national stadium if they reached the first knockout round. England are joint hosts alongside Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. And as first reported by the Times, Cardiff's Principality Stadium is set to host the opening game. The full schedule will be unveiled on 12 November at the official launch of Euro 2028 in London."
England could play up to two Euro 2028 matches away from Wembley, with one group fixture scheduled at another English host stadium such as Etihad Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Villa Park, Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium or St James' Park. Wembley will not stage any last-16 matches, so England would also play away if they advance to the first knockout round. England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland are joint hosts and must qualify, with two places reserved if any host fails to qualify. Dublin's Aviva Stadium and Glasgow's Hampden Park will also host games. Cardiff's Principality Stadium is set to host the opening game. Northern Ireland pulled out after Casement Park was removed due to funding issues. The Football Association and Uefa declined to comment.
