Global spectacle! Around 350 million viewers expected for England vs Spain
Tonight's heavyweight clash at Wembley is attracting attention on a truly global scale.
Details: According to The Touchline, around 350 million people worldwide are expected to watch England face Spain. The national teams meet at Wembley on September 26 in the opening round of Group 3 in UEFA Nations League A.
UEFA lists the kick-off for 20:45 CET. England are back in League A after earning promotion, while Spain begin the new Nations League campaign as the reigning world and European champions.
The fixture is also a repeat of the UEFA Euro 2024 final. Spain won that meeting 2-1 in Berlin, meaning England now have an immediate opportunity to face the side that denied them the European title.
UEFA's head-to-head record shows just how much history there is between the teams: England have recorded 13 victories, Spain have won 11 times, and another four meetings ended in draws.
It is worth noting that the teams will meet twice during this Nations League phase. After tonight's game at Wembley, Spain are scheduled to host England in the return fixture on November 15.
