Both fixtures will complement England’s 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign and will be broadcast live on ITV in the UK.

Head coach Tuchel said: “The games against Senegal and Wales will present good challenges for us against two very different opponents. 

“Facing a strong African team in a passionate city with rich football heritage and then a derby match at the iconic Wembley; two big occasions that can only help us on the road to the World Cup.

“While I know Wembley is our home, I also understand the importance of taking the team around the country when we are able to and the opportunity to experience playing at a famous old English stadium such as the City Ground is one we can all look forward to.”
