England vs New Zealand Lineups, Score, Live Streaming, How and Where to Watch on TV
England will step up their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with an international friendly against New Zealand tonight.
The Three Lions are currently based in West Palm Beach in South Florida as they continue their training camp ahead of the tournament. England also have additional friendlies lined up against Miami United and Costa Rica before playing their first World Cup match.
Recent results have been mixed for the side. England have won just one of their last four friendly matches, with that victory coming in a convincing 3-0 win over Wales in October.
They also suffered a historic 1-0 defeat to Japan, marking the first time an Asian nation has beaten England in a senior men's international match.
Thomas Tuchel's squad has been drawn in Group L for the World Cup alongside Croatia, Ghana, and Panama. The former Chelsea boss will be aiming to build momentum with these crucial warm-ups before the tournament begins.
Meanwhile, New Zealand arrive looking to bounce back from a disappointing result in their previous outing, where they suffered a 4-0 defeat to Haiti.
The All Whites' previous World Cup appearances came in 1982 and 2010, with the team exiting during the group stage on both occasions. They will now aim to make a greater impact this summer.
The Oceania side have been placed in Group G alongside Iran, Egypt and Belgium, giving them a challenging path to the knockout rounds.
