England is heading into the Euro tournament with high hopes, fueled by a talented young squad featuring stars like Mason Mount, Phil Foden, and captain Harry Kane. Playing their group matches at Wembley Stadium provides a significant home advantage, further boosting expectations for a deep run in the competition, especially with the semi-finals and final also set to be played on home soil. Gareth Southgate’s team is placed in Group B for this summer’s tournament, setting up clashes with Croatia, Scotland, and Czech Republic.
England’s Euro 2020 Group Stage Fixtures
The Euro campaign kicks off for England with a challenging rematch against Croatia. This opening fixture is particularly significant as Croatia was the team that ended England’s journey at the 2018 World Cup semi-final stage. Following this, the Three Lions will face Scotland in a highly anticipated home nations derby. The group stage concludes with a match against Czech Republic, rounding out England’s Group D schedule.
Here’s a detailed look at the England Euro Fixtures in the group stage:
- June 13, 15:00 CEST (Central European Summer Time): England vs Croatia, Wembley Stadium, London
- June 18, 21:00 CEST: England vs Scotland, Wembley Stadium, London
- June 22, 21:00 CEST: Czech Republic vs England, Wembley Stadium, London

Navigating the Knockout Stages
As one of the favorites, England is widely expected to advance from Group D. Winning the group, however, presents a potentially tougher path in the knockout rounds. The Group D winner is slated to face a team from the formidable ‘group of death’, which includes football powerhouses France, Portugal, Germany, and Hungary. Finishing second in Group D might offer a slightly less daunting round of 16 opponent, drawing a team from Group E, potentially Spain, Sweden, Poland, or Slovakia.
Even a third-place finish could see England progress to the knockout stage, where they would face a winner from Group C, Group B, or Group E. Crucially, should England advance to the semi-finals, they would return to Wembley Stadium in London, enjoying continued home support for the crucial final stages of Euro 2020.
