England v Croatia: a Thursday football night in Sol
England play Croatia at Wembley on Thursday 12 November. If you're living in Madrid, here for work or just visiting, you can watch it live in the centre of the city at O'Connell St, a couple of minutes from Puerta del Sol.
The match
- England v Croatia, UEFA Nations League, League A
- Thursday 12 November 2026, 20:45 Madrid time (19:45 in the UK)
- Wembley Stadium, London
Date and kick-off are as listed in the UEFA Nations League fixtures. Kick-off times can still move, so check again on the day.
Live on the screens at O'Connell St
From Monday to Thursday O'Connell St opens at 18:00 and stays open until 03:00, so there's plenty of time to finish work, get across town and have a pint before kick-off, and no hurry to leave once the final whistle goes.
It's a full Nations League evening: Spain play Czechia in Prague at the same time, 20:45 Madrid time. England supporters, Croatia supporters and Spain supporters can all watch their game in the same place in the centre. Puerta del Sol is the easiest spot in Madrid for a mixed group to find each other, and Calle de Espoz y Mina 7 is just round the corner.
Three days later: Spain v England in Madrid
England are back in action on Sunday 15 November, against Spain at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, 20:45. If you're in town for that one, Thursday is a good chance to get to know the area around Sol first. Both games, and the rest of the fixtures, are on What's On, and opening times for every day are on the location page.
