The revamped 48-team tournament is set to take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico during the summer of 2026.

Fifty-four Uefa nations entered the draw, with six groups of four and six groups of five drawn.

England being plucked into Group K means that Tuchel’s men will be in a group of five.

All group winners will qualify automatically for the World Cup finals, while the 12 runners-up will join four teams from the Nations League in the play-offs.

England have been joined in Group K by Serbia, Albania, Latvia and Andorra.
