England beat Czechia 3-0 at Wembley in UEFA Nations League on October 6, 2026

England defeated Czechia 3-0 at Wembley Stadium in a UEFA Nations League Group A3 fixture on October 6, 2026, with Harry Kane scoring twice and an earlier own goal deciding the contest.
Under head coach Thomas Tuchel, England controlled possession and passing throughout the game, finishing with 67% possession and 93% passing accuracy; the team also arrived at Wembley having recorded emphatic wins in recent matches, including a 7-0 victory over Croatia and a 2-0 win in Prague. Czechia entered the competition as a promoted side to League A and found themselves in a challenging Group A3 draw featuring Spain, England and Croatia, a situation described as a severe test for newly recruited manager Santi Denia.
The scoring opened in the 26th minute when Vladimír Coufal turned the ball into his own net to give England an early advantage. Harry Kane then doubled the lead with a goal in the 39th minute and added a second on 56 minutes to complete the scoring for the Three Lions.
Jordan Pickford kept a clean sheet for England, protecting the advantage after the goals were scored. The clean sheet came despite previous concerns over England's defensive form, with the goalkeeper and backline preventing Czechia's forwards from converting chances on the night.
By starting the match, the 33-year-old Harry Kane earned his 125th international cap, a milestone that tied him with Peter Shilton for the most England appearances. Kane’s brace in this game contributed directly to England’s margin of victory and his personal appearance landmark.
Czechia remain without a win and without a point after their first three matches in the 2026-27 UEFA Nations League campaign. The result continued the difficulties for Santi Denia’s side in Group A3 after their promotion to League A.
The victory moves England to second place in the Group A3 table, while Czechia stay bottom of the group without a point.
