How far will England fans travel in the 2026-27 Nations League?

England's UEFA Nations League campaign didn't get off to the ideal start, as Spain came from behind to defeat the Three Lions at Wembley Stadium.

The match has only reinforced the narrative that England will always come up short against the very best teams in competitive matches, but Thomas Tuchel and his players still have time to change public perception.

One thing that you can always guarantee with the England national team, regardless of results, is their travelling support. Their first away trip since the World Cup is on Monday night, with the Three Lions facing Czechia in Prague.

With two more away matches to come, we take a look at how far England fans will travel during the current Nations League campaign.

UEFA Nations League: England fans' total travel distance

England's UEFA Nations League away fixtures are as follows:

• 29/09/26: Czechia vs England (Fortuna Arena, Prague)
• 03/10/26: Croatia vs England (Stadion HNK, Rijeka)
• 15/11/26: Spain vs England (Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid)

For an England fan from London attending every single match, the total travel time is roughly 4,470 miles. The breakdown is as follows:

• London → Prague → London: ~2,060 km (1,280 miles)
• London → Rijeka → London: ~2,640 km (1,640 miles)
• London → Madrid → London: ~2,520 km (1,565 miles)

Fortunately for England fans, direct flights run from London to all three of the above destinations, which makes travel logistics much easier. The longest flight is from London to Rijeka, which lasts around 2 hours 40 minutes.

How to reduce the total travel distance

The most obvious way to shorten the total travel distance is to avoid returning to London between the matches against Czechia and Croatia. With only four days between the two matches, many fans will travel from Rijeka to Prague without going home.

No direct flights connect the two cities, so supporters will have to get creative with their routes. Coach services run between the two cities, but the total travel time is around 11 hours, so hiring a car may be the best option unless you don't mind a connecting flight.

FGG says: Three enjoyable trips

Travelling England fans will be pleased with their Nations League draw, as all three cities are popular tourist spots. They are all also easily accessible from the United Kingdom, so the Three Lions can expect strong away support in each of their Nations League away matches.
