England host the Czech Republic at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, in the fourth round of the Nations League group stage, with both sides under pressure for different reasons. Thomas Tuchel’s team are aiming to strengthen their position, while the visitors are fighting to stay in the group.
Kick-off is at 18:45 GMT in London. The match will be shown in France on L’Equipe; in the United States and Canada on Fox Sports and DAZN; in sub-Saharan Africa on New World TV and beIN SPORTS; and in the Middle East and North Africa on beIN SPORTS and DStv.
England hold the historical advantage
England have won five of their six previous meetings with the Czech Republic, drawing once and losing once. The most recent visit by the Reprezentace to Wembley ended in a commanding 5-0 victory for the Three Lions.
Their latest meeting came only a few days ago, when England recorded a 2-0 away win in the Nations League.
The recent head-to-head record is:
- 29 September 2026, Nations League: Czech Republic 0-2 England - 22 June 2021, Euro: Czech Republic 0-1 England - 11 October 2019, Euro qualifying: Czech Republic 2-1 England - 22 March 2019, Euro qualifying: England 5-0 Czech Republic - 20 August 2008, friendly: England 2-2 Czech Republic
contrasting form
England followed their defeat by Spain with a 7-0 victory over Croatia on Saturday, a result that set a new chapter in the team’s history. However, that loss means there is no room for complacency in Group 3, despite the side’s strong recent performance.
A victory would give England a third consecutive win without conceding. They will need to end an unconvincing run at Wembley, where they have failed to win in their last three matches, drawing one and losing two.
The Czech Republic arrive in a far more difficult position. They have been beaten in each of their first three group matches and have not won in six games, recording one draw and five defeats. Their record in League A is even more concerning, with seven successive losses.
England therefore start as clear favourites at home. They impressed in the 7-0 win against Croatia and controlled the previous encounter in the Czech Republic, winning 2-0. Tuchel’s side will also face a Czech defence that has been heavily reshaped and is missing several key players.
Africafoot’s prediction is a 3-0 England victory.
The bookmakers’ prices listed for the match make England strong favourites at 1.11 to win. A draw is priced at 8.50, while a Czech Republic victory is rated at 21.00.
