Competition:
Friendly
Period:
1872-present
Notes:
The very first friendly match took place between Scotland and England on 30th November 1872 at Hamilton Crescent in Partick. It ended in a disappointing 0-0 draw. England used to play roughly 5-6 friendly matches per year, but in an attempt to reduce the amount of meaningless friendlies, UEFA introduced the Nations League in 2018 and the amount of friendlies dropped from six in 2018 to zero in 2019. Since 2020 England have averaged two friendlies a year. This increases in tournament years and with qualifying competitions with an odd number of participants.
