Here's what's on the agenda on Friday 5 June for the Three Lions and Lionesses

The hard work continues for England’s men’s and women’s senior teams on Saturday 6 June.

Thomas Tuchel’s squad remain focused on preparing for the FIFA World Cup 2026 at their warm-up camp in Florida, while Sarina Wiegman’s side have turned their attentions to an important Women's World Cup Qualifier against Ukraine.

You can find out below what’s happening in each camp today.

Three Lions

It’s matchday for the Three Lions as they face New Zealand in a friendly at the Raymond James Stadium (4pm local/9pm BST kick-off).

They’ll fly from their training base in West Palm Beach to Tampa in the morning, checking in at a hotel where they’ll have a pre-match meal before heading to the stadium around two hours before kick-off. 

Tuchel revealed he is planning to play a different team in each half at his pre-match press conference, so everyone should expect to get a run-out against the All Whites. 

They’ll return to West Palm Beach after the game, when the entire squad will be together for the first time as Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke are all set to arrive. The Arsenal quartet were allowed to join up later than the rest of the group following their involvement in the Champions League final.

Lionesses

It’s a recovery day for the Lionesses following their 4-0 defeat to Spain in a World Cup qualifier on Friday evening. 

They’ll take part in a lunchtime training and recovery session in Mallorca before returning to England later in the afternoon. 

Wiegman’s squad are heading to Liverpool to prepare for their final Group A3 match against Ukraine at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium on Tuesday 9 June (8pm BST kick-off), knowing they can seal their qualification for next summer's tournament in Brazil if they achieve a better result than Spain manage against Iceland that same evening.
