England and Australia face off at Wembley Stadium for a rare friendly match this Friday, October 13 at 7:45pm (local time). In total, the Three Lions have played the Socceroos on seven occasions, winning four times and drawing twice, but only two of those fixtures have come on english soil (one at Sunderland in 2016 and the other at West Ham’s Upton Park in 2003).
The english team is warming up for next summer’s Euros after producing a convincing victory in a friendly away to Scotland last time out and is the big favourite ahead of the match, but Australia is an opponent to be considered after reaching the knockouts at the last World Cup and preparing to return to Qatar for the Asian Cup in January.

England vs Australia Match Facts
- England and Australia will face each other at Wembley Stadium for the first time on October 13, 2023. The Three Lions have a strong record against the Socceroos, winning four of their seven previous encounters and drawing two.
- England are unbeaten in their last 17 games in all competitions at Wembley (W13 D4) since a 1-0 defeat to Denmark in October 2020. This is their best unbeaten run there since going 24 without defeat between September 1984 and May 1990.
- Australia have won one of their last five games in all competitions (D1 L3), after having won four of their five games before this run (L1). They have shipped nine goals in these five games, as many as in their previous ten combined.
- England have scored 19 goals in six games in 2023 (3.2 per game), only three fewer than they scored in 13 games in 2022 (22). It is currently only the second year in the last 60 years that England are averaging three or more goals per game, along with 2019 (38 goals in ten games, 3.8 per game).
- Harry Kane has scored 22 goals in 31 England appearances at Wembley, just one behind the record for goals scored at the national stadium for the Three Lions, set by Bobby Charlton, who scored 23 times in 44 games there between 1958 and 1970.
- Lewis Dunk earned his second England cap against Scotland in September, four years and 301 days after his first cap against the USA in November 2018. This is the biggest gap between a player’s first two starts for England since Frank Lampard Sr. between October 1972 and May 1980 (7 years, 233 days). England have won every single game when a Brighton player has featured (9/9), the most games to have featured a player from a specific club with the Three Lions winning every game.
- Both Kane (Bayern Munich) and Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) scored in England’s last game against Scotland, but only one player has netted at Wembley this century while playing for a non-English team, with Jadon Sancho doing so in November 2020 against the Republic of Ireland while playing for Borussia Dortmund.
- This is the first meeting between England and Australia since May 2016, when England won 2-1 in a friendly at the Stadium of Light with goals from Marcus Rashford and Wayne Rooney.
