England arrived at the 2026 World Cup among the favourites and strengthened that status with an impressive opening 4-2 victory over Croatia in Dallas.
That win at AT&T Stadium added another American venue to a surprisingly long list of grounds where England have tasted success across the United States.
From New York to Los Angeles, Tampa to Orlando, the Three Lions have built up an impressive record on US soil over the years.
Now they head to Foxborough for a meeting with Ghana at Gillette Stadium – a match that could not only seal their place in the knockout stages, but also make the home of the New England Patriots the tenth US venue where England have won an international fixture.
FootballGroundGuide takes a look at every US stadium where England have won, and whether Boston could be next.

Wrigley Field, Los Angeles
England 8-1 USA (1959 Friendly)
Attendance: 13,000
One of England's biggest-ever away victories came at the baseball venue – not in Chicago, but in Los Angeles.

Wrigley Field was eventually demolished in 1969.
Downing Stadium, New York
England 10-0 USA (1964 Friendly)
Attendance: 5,062
England recorded their largest victory on American soil at Downing Stadium.
Roger Hunt scored four times, and Fred Pickering marked his international debut with a hat-trick in a one-sided contest. The match also carried extra significance for manager Alf Ramsey, who had been part of the England side famously beaten by the USA at the 1950 World Cup.
Downing Stadium closed in 2002 and was later demolished to make way for Icahn Stadium.
Olympic Stadium, Los Angeles
England 5-0 USA (1985 Friendly)

Attendance: 45,000
A year later, England returned to Olympic Stadium and defeated World Cup hosts Mexico in a warm-up match ahead of the tournament.

England 3-2 Colombia (2005 Friendly)

Soldier Field, Chicago
England 2-1 USA (2005 Friendly)
Attendance: 42,637
Just days before the Colombia match, England had defeated the USA at the iconic Soldier Field in Chicago.

Can Gillette Stadium become number ten?
England's next assignment comes against Ghana at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
Should the Three Lions claim victory, the home of the New England Patriots will become the tenth different venue in the United States where England have won an international match – another small piece of history as their 2026 World Cup journey continues.
