Thomas Tuchel’s side have already secured qualification, having won seven games out of seven without conceding a goal.

Albania are guaranteed second spot in Group K, which gives them a play-off spot.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game...

Albania vs England is scheduled for a 5pm GMT kick-off on Sunday, November 16, 2025.

The match will take place at the Arena Kombetare in Tirana.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on ITV1, with coverage starting at 4pm GMT ahead of the 5pm kick-off.

Live stream: You can also stream the game live for free on ITVX’s website and app.

Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog, with expert analysis from Dom Smith and Simon Collings.

The Crystal Palace defender had joined up with the squad but he did not feature against Serbia on Thursday and was sent home on Friday.

Elsewhere, it is as you were for England, although we should expect some rotation from Tuchel, which could mean a start for Jude Bellingham.

There should be full confidence in the England camp of a comfortbale win here, even with the expected changes that Tuchel will make.

The Three Lions have the star power to rack up a big score, and perhaps better the 2-0 scoreline they tallied at Wembley in the reverse fixture.

Even if Kane is rested, expect goals from the visiting side.

England to win, 3-0.

Albania wins: 0

Albania to win: 17/2
