England is being considered as a potential host for the UEFA Nations League finals next summer, serving as a preparatory event ahead of the UEFA European Championship in 2028. A strong performance by the England national team in their Group A3 matches—specifically finishing in the top two—would advance them to the quarter-finals scheduled for March 2024. A victory at that stage would secure England a place at the four-team Nations League final tournament in June.
UEFA mandates that the host nation must be one of the participating teams in the finals, and while the Football Association (FA) has expressed openness to hosting the event, no formal discussions with UEFA have taken place to date. England is set to co-host UEFA Euro 2028 alongside Wales, Scotland, and the Republic of Ireland, making the Nations League finals a potential opportunity to test venues and logistics ahead of the larger tournament.
The hosting of the finals would require two stadiums. Wembley Stadium, England’s primary football venue, currently has no scheduled events for June 2024, which could make it available to serve as one of the sites. However, there is no confirmed plan to restrict venues to London, with options across the country under consideration.
The proposal has generated interest among supporters, who view the Nations League finals as an appealing competitive event in the lead-up to Euro 2028. Final decisions on the tournament’s hosting arrangements will depend on England’s progression through the Nations League stages and subsequent negotiations with UEFA.
