So, when do England play next in the World Cup? June 2026. But the real answer is: they’re already playing in your head.
You’re imagining Southgate’s waistcoat (or whoever is coaching then). You’re hearing the roar of a stadium in Mexico. You’re planning a watch party that will end in tears or euphoria.
Until then, keep an eye on the qualifying draw. Watch Bellingham dominate in Spain. Marvel at a striker scoring a hat trick against Andorra. It’s all part of the adventure.
And remember: no one expects you to be calm about this. We’re all half-mad for the Three Lions. The wait is long, but the payoff is electric.
So set a reminder for March 2026. Prepare your lucky socks. And accept that you’ll be talking about a potential penalty shootout for the next 1,000 days. Welcome to the club.
