What channel is England v Latvia on? TV details, live stream, team news, referee, VAR

England will aim to secure back-to-back wins under new head coach Thomas Tuchel this evening as they welcome Latvia to Wembley in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

The ex-Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund boss enjoyed a comfortable win against Albania in his first game in charge, with goals from Myles Lewis-Skelly and Harry Kane either side of the break helping them to a routine 2-0 win at Wembley.

The first time the two nations have ever met in their history, Latvia head to the English capital buoyed by a victory of their own, after beating Andorra 1-0 at the Estadi Nacional in the opening game of their qualification campaign, though England remain huge favourites to win the game.

Ahead of the game, German boss Tuchel said he hopes fans can begin to see glimpses of how England would play under his management, telling the media: “I cannot tell you how long it takes. I'm very impatient myself so hopefully we'll see glimpses or maybe a full match tomorrow [against Latvia], who knows? The most important thing is everyone is open to adapting and everyone is excited and puts the effort in, then we'll trust the process.

“It was a very intense week because you want to squeeze everything into the eight or nine days you have the players. Then you have to accept reality that at some point it can also be too much, which is why we gave them a day to breathe yesterday. It's very, very intense - it feels like a training camp, a pre-season in club football and then we're back to observing and keeping contact with the players until June."

There were two debutants in England’s win over Albania on Friday, with Lewis-Skelly and Newcastle United defender Dan Burn both making their debuts at the back for the Three Lions, and Tuchel is expected to keep faith in both players for tonight’s World Cup qualifier. Burn’s club teammate Anthony Gordon is ruled out of the game though, after picking up a knock at the end of Friday’s game. He’s been sent back to Newcastle for further treatment.

As for Latvia, Dario Šits came off the bench at half-time and opened the scoring in their World Cup qualifying win against Andorra last week, and could come into the starting XI for the visit to London.
