England has concluded its 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign with an epic 6-4 win over France to claim third place.
While their campaign had plenty of memorable moments, Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham led the Three Lions to the team’s fourth semifinal appearance but fell short of ultimately winning its first title since 1966.
The Three Lions will return to action in September during the next FIFA international window. Two games are England’s date – vs. Spain at Wembley Stadium in London (Sept. 26) and vs. the Czech Republic (Sept. 29) at Fortuna Arena in Prague.
Both those games are part of England’s 2026-27 UEFA Nations League campaign. England will also play two more games each in October (vs. Croatia and the Czech Republic) and November (vs. Croatia and Spain) as part of the Nations League.

WIth his World Cup campaign complete, Harry Kane will head home and report back to duty with his club, Bayern Munich. The German powerhouse club is the defending German Bundesliga champions, the German Cup (DFB Pokal) champions, and the German Super Cup champions.
Kane and Bayern have several friendly matches in late July and early August before kicking off its league season on August 28 against Stuttgart. The club will also compete in the Champions League once the league phase begins later in the fall. Bayern finished as semifinalists last season.
Last season, Kane had 61 goals across all competitions, with 36 coming in the Bundesliga. That made him the league’s top goalscorer for the third straight season. His total goals also gave him the European Golden Shoe on the season.
