England will play Italy in the Heads Up International at Wembley next March

England will host Italy at Wembley Stadium early next year in The Heads Up International on Friday 27 March 2020 (8pm kick-off).

The fixture will be the first of four tests to help the Three Lions prepare for next summer’s UEFA EURO 2020.

The occasion has also been designated to the Heads Up campaign in support of our charitable partnership with HRH The Duke of Cambridge’s Heads Together mental health initiative.

It will be our 28th encounter with the four-time world champions and exactly two years to the day since the last meeting – a 1-1 draw at Wembley.

The Azzurri, UEFA EURO 1968 winners, have been placed in Group A at next summer’s finals and Roberto Mancini's men will play all three games against Turkey, Switzerland and Wales in Rome.

England had already booked a date with fellow finalists Denmark at Wembley on Tuesday 31 March (8pm).
