4 published Int. Friendlies previews, newest first. Each one commits to a scoreline and a tip, and is graded once the match has been played.
England face Costa Rica at the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando on Wednesday in their last warm-up before the FIFA World Cup 2026. Thomas Tuchel is expected to field his closest approximation of a first-choice XI, with the Arsenal quartet back in contention.
Portugal host Nigeria at Leiria in their last 2026 FIFA World Cup warm-up before flying to North America. Roberto Martinez has a full squad available, while the Super Eagles arrive without Osimhen and Lookman but unbeaten in six.
Argentina take on Iceland at Jordan-Hare Stadium in their final friendly before defending the FIFA World Cup 2026 title. Messi is confirmed to play. Here are our tips, predicted lineups and where to watch.
Both sides use this final 2026 FIFA World Cup friendly at Toyota Field to sharpen their preparations, but the gulf in class between a Senegal squad loaded with Premier League talent and a Saudi side in managerial transition is hard to ignore.
This page lists every international friendly with a full preview, not a fixture from a domestic league season. Because these games sit outside a normal competition structure, there's no defending champion or automatic qualification to lean on, so each preview is built from squad news, form and head-to-head history for that specific pairing.
International Friendlies covers matches from countries and confederations across the world, played under the 2026 edition of the calendar. Friendlies are arranged individually between national sides rather than run as a league season, so there's no fixed number of teams competing at once. The competition's own overview page carries more on the matches involved, with a separate table and fixtures page for anyone tracking a specific side.
Each preview on this page follows the same shape: team news for both sides, a predicted line-up, a headline tip plus five further picks across other markets, a three-leg bet builder, and where to watch the match. A preview goes up roughly 22 hours before kick-off and is updated if the team news changes before then. The same page stays live through to full time, at which point it shows how the tips fared. Every preview carries a byline, and the full list of writers is on the authors page.
Every tip is graded hit or miss, with misses left on the record rather than removed. Results are worked out from a flat £10 stake per tip at the odds printed when the preview was published, and voided bets are excluded. A bet builder counts as a single bet at the combined price of its three legs. For the running numbers behind all of that, see the tip record, and for the full explanation of the grading process, how we predict sets it out in detail.
