England's men's national team will play two final World Cup warm-up matches in Florida this June. They will face New Zealand on June 6, with the game expected in Tampa, before taking on Costa Rica four days later on June 10. These fixtures will allow manager Thomas Tuchel's squad to acclimatise to American conditions ahead of the tournament.
Following the Florida games, England will travel to their World Cup base in Kansas City, Missouri. The Football Association identified Kansas City as their preferred location in January 2025, citing its central position to mitigate travel distances during the competition. The team will utilise the state-of-the-art Swope Soccer Village as their training facility.
New Zealand has qualified for the World Cup, while Costa Rica has not. England's opening group match is on June 17 against Croatia in Arlington, Texas.
