The following tables show the England national football team's all-time international record. The statistics are composed of FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Football Championship, UEFA Nations League and British Home Championship (1883–1984) matches, as well as numerous international friendly tournaments and matches.[note 1]

Friendly match between England and Germany at Wembley Stadium in 2007.

England played the world's first international fixture against Scotland on 30 November 1872, which ended in a 0–0 draw. England and Scotland have since contested 116 official matches: England have won 49, Scotland have won 41 and 26 have been drawn.

England have contested matches against more than 80 other national teams. England are unbeaten against 54 of them, having earned a perfect winning percentage against 30 of these teams. England have never beaten five teams that they have played at least once: Algeria, Ghana, Honduras, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. England have played all of these teams only once, with the exception of Saudi Arabia (two matches), and all of their meetings have been draws.

England have a negative record (more losses than wins) against only four countries: Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands and Uruguay. England have never lost to an African or Asian country.[note 2]

Notes

  1. [N 1]
    The list does not include matches contested at the Olympic Games. This is because England is a constituent country of the United Kingdom, and is not a member of the International Olympic Committee. Therefore, the national team does not compete in the Olympics. Instead, see the Great Britain Olympic football team.
  2. [N 2]
    Matches v Australia, (No. 543 – 31 May 1980), (Match No. 579 – 12 June 1983), (Match No. 580 – 15th June 1983), (Match No. 581 – 19 June 1983), (Match No. 673 – 1st June 1991) and (Match No. 799 – 12 February 2003) Australia was a member of the Oceania Football Confederation and joined the Asia Football Confederation in 2006 and (Match No. 954 – Friday, 27th May 2016) was the first time England played Australia as an AFC member.
  3. [N 3]
    12 games of the British Home Championship doubled as qualification games for the World Cup and European championship: Each game is counted in both applicable lines, but only counts once towards the subtotal.
  4. [N 4]
    Matches 277 (v Argentina, 17 May 1953) and 709 (v Republic of Ireland, 15 Feb 1995) were abandoned, hence the number of matches played is greater than the total of wins/draws/losses.
  5. [N 5]
    Kevin Keegan and Howard Wilkinson managed one qualifying match each: Eriksson managed the remainder of qualification and the finals campaign.
  6. [N 6]
    Sam Allardyce managed one qualifying match: Gareth Southgate managed the remainder of the qualification and the finals campaign.
  7. [N 7]
    England were defeated by France in a two-legged elimination round. Ramsey took over from Winterbottom between the two legs.
  8. [N 8]
    Although England did not qualify for the finals, they reached the last eight of the competition. Only the last four teams progressed to the finals.
  9. [N 9]
    The third-place play-off had been abolished at Euro 1984, and any team losing in the semi-finals would be placed in third place even if they did not get a bronze medal.[citation needed]
  10. [N 10]
    Hoddle managed the first three qualifiers, while Keegan managed the remainder of qualification and the finals campaign.
  11. [N 11]
    Capello managed the qualification campaign. He resigned before the tournament and was replaced by Hodgson.
  12. [N 12]
    Ireland (IFA) results are from 1882 to 1950, the point at which the team ceased selecting players from outside of Northern Ireland. England's last match against this team was Match 251, on 14 November 1949. Results against Northern Ireland start from this point onward. However, the Northern Irish team continued to play under the Ireland name for a number of years (until 1954 in FIFA competitions and into the 1970s for Home Internationals).
  13. [N 13]
    Membership currently suspended in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
