England’s Euro 2020 campaign gets underway this month as Gareth Southgate and his squad look to go a step further than their World Cup exploits in 2018.
England reached the semi-finals in the summer of 2018 before being dumped out to Croatia and will face some familiar faces once again in their quest for European glory over the coming weeks.
Southgate named his 26-man England squad on June 1 having previously named a 33-man squad.
Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has already withdrawn through injury and Southgate will be hoping those who make his final selection will not pick up any knocks ahead of the tournament.
If England are to win the tournament they’ll have to sucessfully navigate their way through seven matches, including the final taking place at Wembley on Sunday, July 11.
But before that it’s about getting some early wins on the board in the group stages and building momentum ahead of the knockout phase.
Which teams are in England’s Euro 2020 group?
England are in Group D alongside Croatia, Czech Republic and Scotland.
The Three Lions need to finish in the top two of their group to reach the knockout rounds.
When are England’s Euro 2020 fixtures?
All three of England’s group fixtures takes place at Wembley and consist of two evening kick-offs and one afternoon start.
England get their campaign underway on Sunday, June 13 against 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia.
The Three Lions then turn their attention to a highly-anticipated clash with rivals Scotland on Friday, June 18.
Hopefully progression to the knockout stages will have already been secured by the time their final group game comes along four days later against Czech Republic.
England vs Croatia: Sunday, June 13 (2pm)
England vs Scotland: Friday, June 18 (8pm)
Czech Republic vs England: Tuesday, June 22 (8pm)
