England’s Euro 2020 campaign begins on June 13 against Croatia, followed by games against Scotland and the Czech Republic on June 18 and 22, respectively.

ENGLAND’S QUALIFICATION SQUAD FOR THE 2022 WORLD CUP
In UEFA’s FIFA World Cup qualification stage, England has been assigned to Group I. The drawing will take place in December 2020.
The Three Lions will face Poland, Hungary, Albania, Andorra, and San Marino, as well as Hungary, Albania, Andorra, and San Marino.
The team that finishes first in their group will automatically qualify for the World Cup, while the team that finishes second will have to go through the play-offs.
Each team in the group plays the other five teams twice, at home and away, resulting in a total of ten fixtures for England to complete.
WHERE WILL THE 2022 WORLD CUP BE HELD?
The 2022 World Cup will be the first of its kind to be contested in the winter, with games starting on November 21, 2022, and the final on December 18, 2022.
That means the tournament will start a year after the qualification group stage and eight months after the play-off stage, which will take place in March 2022.
Qatar will host the 2022 World Cup, which will be the first time FIFA’s flagship football event has been hosted in the Middle East since past editions in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Asia.
