Spain vs England Preview

Spain vs England

Competition – Nations League

Stadium: Riyadh Air Metropolitano

Date: 15th November 2026

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

The Riyadh Air Metropolitano hosts a Group 3 decider on Sunday night, with Spain three points clear of England going into the final round. Spain have won all five of their Nations League games, including a 3-2 win in England in September. England have won all four of their games since. Kick-off is at 7:45pm GMT.

Spain have won all five Nations League games, scoring 14 and conceding five. Thursday’s 2-0 win in Czechia was the latest, and before that they won 2-1 in Croatia in October. Earlier in the run, they beat Czechia 3-1 and Croatia 4-1 at home, while the oldest result is the 3-2 win in England in September. Spain kept a clean sheet only on Thursday, conceding at least once in the other four games.

England have won four in a row since that defeat to Spain. Thursday’s 2-1 home win over Croatia was the latest, five weeks after a 3-0 home win over Czechia. Before that, they won 7-0 in Croatia and 2-0 in Czechia, while the oldest result is the 3-2 home defeat to Spain in September. That makes four wins and a defeat, with 16 goals scored and four conceded, and England kept clean sheets in three of the four wins.

Spain have won three of the last five meetings to England’s one, with one draw. The most recent was Spain’s 3-2 win in England in September, and before that they won 2-1 at the European Championship in July 2024. England’s only win in the sample came 3-2 in Spain in the Nations League in October 2018, a month after Spain had won 2-1 in England. The oldest meeting was a 2-2 friendly draw in England in 2016. Sunday’s game at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano gives England the chance to repeat that 2018 result.

Spain lead Group 3 on 15 points, three ahead of England on 12. A Spain win would take them to 18 points, while an England win would move them to 15, level with Spain on current standings.

In the UK, the match is live on ITV 1, with streaming on ITVX, and viewers in Scotland can watch on STV or STV Player. In Spain, it’s on TVE La 1 with streaming on RTVE Play, while US viewers can stream it on fuboTV or ViX.
