The Three Lions will play their final two games before the FIFA World Cup in Florida this June

The Three Lions will face New Zealand at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Saturday 6 June (4pm local/9pm BST kick-off).

Thomas Tuchel’s side will then welcome Costa Rica to the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando on Wednesday 10 June (4pm local/9pm BST kick-off).

Both fixtures will form a key part of England’s preparation camp in south Florida ahead of moving to the squad’s basecamp in Kansas City, Missouri for the duration of the tournament.

The Raymond James Stadium is home to the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers and hosted Super Bowl LV in 2021. It will stage England men’s third meeting with New Zealand, with the previous two matches with the All Whites both coming in June 1991.

The Three Lions have faced Costa Rica on two previous occasions with the most recent being at Leeds United’s Elland Road ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
