England will play a World Cup qualifier against Andorra at Villa Park on Saturday, 6 September – the first time the stadium will host a senior men’s international in 20 years.
England last played at Villa Park in 2005, a goalless draw against the Netherlands in a friendly.
The Andorra match will mark the second time this year that Thomas Tuchel’s England side will have played a home game away from Wembley Stadium with Nottingham Forest’s City Ground set to stage a June friendly against Senegal.

“We are excited to play at Villa Park, another stadium full of history,” Tuchel said of Premier League Aston Villa’s ground.
“I know from my own visits to the stadium this season that it is capable of creating an outstanding atmosphere and is located close to (England’s training ground) St. George’s Park which is a positive for our preparation.”
England are top of qualifying Group K on the road to the 2026 World Cup with wins over Albania and Latvia at Wembley. They next face bottom side Andorra on 7 June in Barcelona.
