England travel to Madrid on Sunday, November 15, needing a win over world champions Spain to finish top of their Nations League group. Kick-off at the Metropolitano Stadium is 7:45 p.m. GMT.
Both teams are already through to the quarter-finals. Anything other than an England victory leaves Thomas Tuchel's side second.
Kick-off time and how to watch
The match starts at 2:45 p.m. ET in the United States. In India it is 1:15 a.m. on Monday, November 16, and in Australia 6:45 a.m. AEDT the same day.
In the UK it is live and free on ITV1 and the ITVX streaming service, with STV showing it in Scotland. US viewers can watch on FS1, and in Australia the game is on beIN Sports 3.
What England need
England trail Spain by three points after five games each. A win would level them on points and put them top on goal difference, where they hold a +12 to +9 edge. A draw is enough for Spain.
Spain have won 12 matches in a row. Winning the group would likely give England an easier quarter-final opponent in March 2027, while the runner-up would face a group winner.
Spain won the reverse fixture 3-2 at Wembley in September, after England had come from behind to lead 2-1. Neither side has lost in the four group games since.
England team news
England beat Croatia 2-1 at Wembley on Thursday, with Morgan Rogers and Harry Kane scoring. The night also made Kane the country's all-time leading appearance maker.
Tuchel is expected to keep Kane, Jude Bellingham and Anthony Gordon in the side. Bellingham would have been suspended had he been booked against Croatia, but he avoided a yellow card.
Defenders Ezri Konsa and Djed Spence missed the Croatia game and will be available if they are back in full training on the eve of the match. Tuchel must also choose at right wing between Rogers and Liverpool teenager Rio Ngumoha, who is yet to start for England.
Jobe Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund, Jude's younger brother, is in a senior England squad for the first time.
Spain team news
Spain beat Czechia in Prague earlier this week without Lamine Yamal, who has a knee injury. Coach Luis de la Fuente expects him to be fit for England.
Mikel Oyarzabal missed that game through illness. Alex Baena and Marc Pubill scored in Prague.
