Track England’s Euro 2024 fixtures, as well as their potential route through the knockout stages of the tournament in Germany.
England will play either the Netherlands or the third-placed Group E team in the last 16, after securing top spot in Group C with a 0-0 draw against Slovenia.
The Dutch have progressed as one of the four best third-placed teams despite losing to Austria on Tuesday.
England’s opponents will be confirmed after Wednesday’s final group matches, so Gareth Southgate’s side will have a 24-hour wait to find out who they will play on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen in a 5pm kick-off, UK time.
Before the tournament, England were told they would play a third-placed team from Groups D, E or F – but the possible combinations of best-placed third-place teams in UEFA’s guidelines show there is no outcome whereby the Three Lions would play a team from Group F.
By winning Group C, England are now on what will be considered the more favourable side of the draw with Spain, Germany, Portugal and France on the other side.
England’s last-16 opponent as it stands
- Netherlands or Romania/Belgium/Slovakia/Ukraine
How likely is it that England will play Netherlands in the last 16?
As it stands, if the four teams currently occupying the best-placed third-placed positions remain the same, then England will face Netherlands in the last 16.
If only one of Czech Republic and Georgia win, or both win, then England would play the Group E third-placed team, which would be one of Belgium, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine.

Southgate believes the changes his side made had a positive effect on the team, with Cole Palmer and Kobbie Mainoo impressing off the bench against Slovenia
If Czech Republic beat Turkey and Georgia do not beat Portugal, and Turkey’s goal difference is higher than -3 then England would play the Group E third-placed team, which would be one of Belgium, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine.
If Czech Republic beat Turkey and Georgia do not beat Portugal and Turkey’s goal difference is lower than -3, then England will play the Netherlands in the last 16.
If Czech Republic and Georgia both fail to win, then England will play the Netherlands in the last 16.
If both of the final Group E games do not end in draws, and the third-place team has a worse negative goal difference than -3 – and then a Group F team qualifies as a third-placed team, then England will face the Netherlands in the last 16.
Who could England play in the quarter-finals?
If England win their last-16 tie, they would then face the winners of Saturday’s round-of-16 clash between Switzerland and Italy in Berlin on Saturday July 6.
Were England to reach the last four, they would then play in a semi-final on Wednesday July 10. They wouldn’t face Spain, Portugal, Germany or France in that semi-final were they to progress that far.
The final is on Sunday July 14.
