England, Italy, Portugal and Spain are the four countries to have secured places in the quarter-finals of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League.

England secured qualification on Thursday after defeating Croatia 2-1 at Wembley, with Harry Kane scoring the decisive goal from the penalty spot.

Morgan Rogers had given England the lead in the first half before Petar Sucic equalised for Croatia in the 59th minute. Kane later restored England’s advantage to seal the victory.

The win means England join Spain, Germany and Portugal in the last eight of the competition.

Portugal and Spain had secured their quarter-final places earlier in the group stage, while Germany and England have now joined them.

The quarter-finals will take place between March 25 and 30, 2027, while the Nations League semi-finals and final are scheduled for June 9 to 13, 2027.
