England vs Spain: Two European Giants Meet at Wembley in Nations League Opener



England and Spain meet at Wembley Stadium in a highly anticipated UEFA Nations League Group A3 clash on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The match brings together England and the reigning world and European champions Spain in one of the headline fixtures of the opening round.

For England, the game marks the team's first competitive match since the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Thomas Tuchel's side finished third at the tournament after beating France 6–4 in the bronze-medal match.

Spain arrive at Wembley after a remarkable run of form. Luis de la Fuente's team won the 2026 World Cup and also hold the European Championship title, making this a major early test for England.

England Facing Squad Problems

England have had several injury-related withdrawals ahead of the match. Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Tino Livramento were among the players unavailable, with Morgan Gibbs-White and James Garner called up as replacements.

Despite those absences, England still have major attacking options, including Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Morgan Rogers. England's official squad information lists Kane with 85 international goals heading into the September window.

Spain Bring World Champions to Wembley

Spain's squad includes several of the players who helped them establish themselves as one of international football's strongest teams. Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Rodri and Dani Olmo are among the names included in De la Fuente's Nations League squad.

The historical head-to-head record is relatively close. UEFA lists England with 13 wins, Spain with 11 and 4 draws from their previous meetings, with England scoring 46 goals compared with Spain's 34.

A Rematch With History

The fixture also brings back memories of the Euro 2024 final, when Spain defeated England 2–1. UEFA lists that final among the previous highlights of the rivalry.

With both teams beginning their 2026–27 Nations League campaigns, Wembley will provide the setting for another chapter between two of Europe's biggest national sides.

England vs Spain
Competition: UEFA Nations League, Group A3

 Trump’s $500 ACA Refund Checks Begin Going Out to Nearly 1 Million Americans The Trump administration is beginning to send $500 Affordable Care Act refund checks to more than 950,000 Americans, according to administration officials. The payments are part of a program announced by President Donald Trump earlier this month involving ACA coverage purchased through the federal HealthCare.gov marketplace. The administration says eligible recipients were charged higher premiums partly because insurers paid user fees to operate the federal ACA exchange. The White House argues that some of those fees exceeded the amount needed to operate the exchange and that the excess should be returned to consumers. Who can receive the $500 refund? The refunds are intended for certain people who purchased ACA marketplace coverage without receiving premium assistance. The program covers 30 states that use the federal exchange rather than their own state-based marketplace. The 30 states are Alabama...
