Nations League: Wembley blockbuster — England vs Spain
Wembley hosts the page‑turner between England and Spain; North Macedonia welcome Switzerland in Skopje and Slovenia play Scotland in Ljubljana.
Skopje, 26.09.2026 — The opening round of the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League brings a packed schedule this afternoon and evening, with ten fixtures across Leagues A, B and C. The headline match is a Wembley blockbuster: England meet Spain in London, while North Macedonia host Switzerland at the Arena in Skopje and Slovenia face Scotland in Ljubljana (kick-off 15:00).
The Wembley meeting is notable on paper because it pits the third-placed side and the tournament winners from the last World Cup 2026 against each other — England versus Spain — and is widely expected to be the round's standout game.
For North Macedonia supporters the focus will be on the Arena in Skopje, where the home team take on Switzerland in a Group B fixture. Also relevant to the same group is the Slovenia–Scotland match in Ljubljana, which kicks off at 15:00 local time.
