Croatia and England meet twice in the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League as part of a tough League A, Group A3 schedule that also includes Spain and Czechia. The first meeting in Rijeka on October 3 will be played entirely behind closed doors, following a UEFA sanction imposed on Croatia after crowd trouble in last season's quarter-final against France, so no public tickets are available for that fixture.
GOAL has everything you need to know about securing your Croatia vs England tickets for the Wembley fixture right now, including prices, availability and the best places to buy.
When is Croatia vs England UEFA Nations League A kick-off?
Croatia vs England kicks off at 18:00 local time on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at Stadion Rujevica in Rijeka. Official broadcast information for this fixture is not currently available.
Where to buy Croatia vs England tickets?
There are no public tickets available for the October 3 fixture in Rijeka, as it is being played without fans present as part of Croatia's UEFA sanction. Anyone hoping to see these two sides in action this campaign should look instead to the November 12 fixture at Wembley Stadium.
Tickets for the Wembley leg are first made available through the official England Football ticketing portal, with priority typically given to England Supporters Travel Club members and FA-affiliated season ticket holders before any remaining allocation goes to general sale.
A few things worth knowing about buying tickets for this pairing:
- October 3 fixture (Rijeka) – played behind closed doors with no public tickets, official or secondary
- Official general sale (Wembley) – opens after member priority windows close, typically closer to matchday
- Guaranteed transfers – every Ticombo purchase is sourced from a range of verified sellers
- Secondary market – Ticombo is your way to go if the listings on the official site are sold out
Given the profile of this fixture, early booking for the Wembley leg is recommended once general sale opens.
How much are Croatia vs England tickets?
There is no official or secondary pricing for the October 3 fixture in Rijeka, since it is closed to the public entirely.
Official pricing for the Wembley leg is set through the England Football ticketing portal, with the full range from standard to premium seating available at face value while allocation lasts, with official prices for previous England Nations League fixtures at Wembley starting from around £40.
Ticombo is your way to go if the listings on the official site are sold out, with secondary market prices for a fixture of this profile typically starting from around £45 to £60 for upper tier seating once listings become available.
As with any high-demand international fixture, prices can shift as matchday approaches, so locking in your seat sooner rather than later is generally the safer option if you are working to a specific budget.
