England men’s under-17s will face Israel, Faroe Islands and Estonia in round two of the UEFA U17 EURO 2026 championship in March, following the draw in Switzerland on Wednesday.

Liam Bramley’s Young Lions were drawn out in group one of League B for the fixtures, after missing out on a League A spot following their results in October’s first round games in Scotland. Unfortunately, this means England will not be able to qualify for next summer’s U17 EURO Finals in Estonia or the 2026 FIFA U17 World Cup in Qatar.

The Young Lions will host the games at St. George’s Park, and they will be staged between 25-31 March 2026 and you can see the full draw below.

Wednesday also saw the draw for the 2026-27 UEFA U17 EURO first round made, when next season’s MU17s squad will take on Montenegro, Poland and Ukraine in group nine.

These games will also be hosted in England, and will take place between 11- 17 November 2026 as nations start their qualification campaign for the 2027 U17 EURO Finals in Latvia.
