The Premier League will pause next week as England return to international duty in the final break before the World Cup. Thomas Tuchel has just two fixtures remaining to evaluate his players before naming his squad for Canada, Mexico and the USA in June.

The Three Lions secured their World Cup place with a perfect eight-victory qualifying campaign that saw them finish top of the group and arrange another meeting with Croatia in their tournament opener. But beforehand, England are scheduled to play two friendly fixtures at Wembley Stadium as part of the 2026 Send Off Series, where they will welcome Uruguay on March 27 and Japan on March 31.

Tickets for both matches went on general sale in December and February respectively and numerous general admission choices or more exclusive VIP and hospitality packages remain available. Prices begin at £35 per person at the Wembley Stadium website for a 'Category 4 - Licensed Standing' ticket, with 'Category 1' tickets providing superior views and seating from £80.

VIP and hospitality packages for both fixtures are obtainable from £75 at Seat Unique, which delivers 'premium' seating on Level Two with padded seats and an excellent view of the pitch. This Taphouse ticket is described as offering 'the ultimate luxury matchday experience' and also grants access to Wembley 2.5 hours before kick-off, plus premium dining, an M&S Foodhall and comfortable seating within the bar area.

England supporters wanting to splash out can reserve a table in the exclusive Bobby Moore Lounge - featuring premium seating on the halfway line beside the dugout - from £349 per person. This cost also covers a four-course gourmet meal, inclusive bar, live entertainment and unlimited Laurent Perrier Champagne.

Comparable benefits are provided with the more luxurious Bobby Moore Suite, a VIP experience with Level 1 seats behind the dugouts from £395 per person. However, tickets are selling quickly and only limited availability remains for selected Bobby Moore packages.

It's also worth highlighting that prices can fluctuate from fixture to fixture. For those intending to watch from home, both England vs Uruguay and England vs Japan will broadcast live on ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player.

The previous occasion England met Uruguay came in the 2014 World Cup, when two goals from then-Liverpool striker Luis Suarez effectively confirmed England's elimination in the group stage. Wayne Rooney's first goal of the tournament wasn't sufficient to prevent their second consecutive defeat as Roy Hodgson's side ultimately departed early.

England have only encountered Japan three times, with the most recent meeting coming in 2010 as their final warm-up fixture before travelling to South Africa for the 2010 World Cup. England claimed a 2-1 victory thanks to two Japan own goals.

England have two further matches scheduled for June, when they take on New Zealand and Costa Rica in South Florida as part of a pre-World Cup training camp. Ticket details for both fixtures are yet to be announced, but supporters can register their interest with The FA here.
