England vs Serbia Head-to-Head Record
The England vs Serbia matchup has become more familiar in recent European football because the two national teams met three times between June 2024 and November 2025.
The record is straightforward: England won all three matches, while Serbia did not score in any of them. The three results were 1-0, 5-0 and 2-0.
| Date | Competition | Match | Result |
| June 16, 2024 | UEFA Euro 2024 | Serbia vs England | Serbia 0-1 England |
| September 9, 2025 | FIFA World Cup qualifying | Serbia vs England | Serbia 0-5 England |
| November 13, 2025 | FIFA World Cup qualifying | England vs Serbia | England 2-0 Serbia |
That gives England 3 wins from 3, with an aggregate score of 8-0 across these meetings.
One important detail is that some historical head-to-head databases count only fixtures since Serbia became an independent football nation, while older records can involve Yugoslavia or Serbia and Montenegro. That is why totals can vary between databases depending on how historical matches are categorized. England’s official football site, for example, discusses earlier meetings involving Yugoslavia separately.
England vs Serbia: All Recent Results
Serbia 0-1 England — Euro 2024
The first recent meeting took place on June 16, 2024, during the UEFA European Championship in Germany.
England started its Euro 2024 campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory. Jude Bellingham scored in the 13th minute, heading in the only goal of the match. Serbia had opportunities later in the game, but England held on for the three points.
The match was played at the VELTINS-Arena in Gelsenkirchen and attracted an attendance of 48,953. England’s victory put the team top of Group C after the opening round of matches.
The result was especially notable because it was the first senior meeting between the two sides in the modern period. England eventually finished top of Group C, while Serbia finished fourth.
Serbia 0-5 England — World Cup Qualifying 2025
The next meeting was much more one-sided.
On September 9, 2025, England traveled to Belgrade for a FIFA World Cup 2026 European qualifier and won 5-0. Harry Kane opened the scoring before Noni Madueke, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guéhi and Marcus Rashford added further goals.
The victory was significant for England’s qualification campaign. The team controlled the match and extended its advantage after halftime. Serbia also had defender Nikola Milenković sent off in the second half.
England’s official match report described the result as a dominant performance in Belgrade. It also noted that, including meetings with Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro, England had won its previous five meetings against the opposition at that point.
For anyone searching Serbia vs England, this is the match that produced the largest scoreline in their recent senior head-to-head history: Serbia 0-5 England.
England 2-0 Serbia — World Cup Qualifying 2025
The teams met again two months later at Wembley Stadium on November 13, 2025.
England won 2-0, with Bukayo Saka scoring in the 28th minute and Eberechi Eze adding the second goal in the 90th minute.
England controlled much of the match statistically, recording 70% possession, 19 shots and six shots on target compared with Serbia’s seven shots and one on target.
The result completed a clean sweep of the two 2025 World Cup qualifying meetings. England had already won 5-0 in Belgrade, then followed it with a 2-0 victory at Wembley.
What Happened in the Euro 2024 Match?
The Euro 2024 meeting was considerably closer than the two 2025 qualifiers.
England scored early through Jude Bellingham and then had to manage Serbia’s pressure for long periods. Serbia pushed forward in the second half, while England defended its narrow lead. BBC Sport reported that goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made an important late save from DuÅ¡an Vlahović.
The final score was Serbia 0-1 England, making Bellingham’s 13th-minute header the difference between the teams.
Why the 2025 Matches Were Different
The two 2025 games had a very different feel from the Euro 2024 opener.
The September match in Belgrade ended 5-0, with England producing five goals and keeping a clean sheet. The November return at Wembley finished 2-0. Together, England scored seven goals without conceding in the two World Cup qualifiers.
The November match also showed a more controlled statistical performance. England had 19 total shots to Serbia’s seven and 70% possession. Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze provided the goals.
These results mean the three latest England-Serbia meetings tell two different stories: a tight European Championship opener followed by two more comfortable World Cup qualifying victories.

Are England and Serbia in the Same Group in 2026?
No. England and Serbia are not in the same group of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League.
England is in League A, Group A3, alongside Spain, Croatia and Czechia. Serbia is in League A, Group A2, alongside Germany, the Netherlands and Greece.
The 2026/27 Nations League league phase began in September 2026 and runs through November. UEFA’s published fixture list does not include an England-Serbia meeting during this league phase.
That means the latest completed England vs Serbia match remains the 2-0 England victory at Wembley on November 13, 2025.
