England vs Serbia Results
Serbia 0-1 England Euro 2024
England opened its Euro 2024 campaign with a 1-0 victory over Serbia on June 16, 2024.
The match was played at the VELTINS-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Jude Bellingham scored the only goal in the 13th minute, heading in a cross from Bukayo Saka.
Serbia had opportunities after halftime and put England under pressure, but England held on to its narrow lead.
The result gave England three points in Group C and made Bellingham the match’s decisive scorer.
This game is important because it was the first senior competitive meeting between the two sides as independent England and Serbia in the modern period. England had previously faced teams representing Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro.
Serbia 0-5 England World Cup Qualifying
The next senior meeting was much more one-sided.
England traveled to Serbia on September 9, 2025, for a FIFA World Cup 2026 European qualifier in Group K. England won 5-0 at Stadion Rajko Mitić.
Harry Kane opened the scoring in the 33rd minute. Noni Madueke added another two minutes later, giving England a 2-0 halftime lead.
Ezri Konsa made it 3-0 in the second half, while Marc Guéhi scored England’s fourth. Marcus Rashford completed the 5-0 victory with a late penalty. Serbia also had Nikola Milenković sent off in the 72nd minute.
The five-goal margin became England’s biggest recent victory over Serbia.

England vs Serbia: 2025 World Cup Qualifiers
England and Serbia were drawn together in Group K for the European qualifying competition for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The group also included Albania, Latvia, and Andorra.
That setup created two England-Serbia matches in 2025.
The first was in Belgrade, where England won 5-0. The return fixture took place at Wembley, where England won 2-0.
Together, the two qualifying matches produced a 7-0 aggregate score in England’s favor.
These games were also different in character. The first featured five England goals and a red card for Serbia, while the second was more controlled, with England winning by two goals.
How England vs Serbia Has Changed Over Time
The modern England-Serbia record needs some historical context.
Serbia became an independent national football team after the dissolution of the Serbia and Montenegro state. Earlier England meetings therefore involved Yugoslavia or Serbia and Montenegro, rather than the modern Serbian national team.
England Football’s official records include meetings with Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro, and independent Serbia when discussing the broader historical sequence.
This is why different websites can display different head-to-head totals. Some databases count only matches between modern England and modern Serbia, while others include earlier meetings under predecessor national teams.
For a straightforward modern comparison, the three recent senior fixtures are the clearest reference points.
Key Players in Recent England vs Serbia Matches
Several major England players have played important roles in these matches.
Jude Bellingham scored the only goal in England’s 1-0 Euro 2024 victory. His 13th-minute header settled that game.
Harry Kane scored in the 5-0 World Cup qualifying victory in Serbia. It was one of several England goals in a dominant away performance.
Bukayo Saka scored the opening goal in England’s 2-0 victory at Wembley in November 2025.
Eberechi Eze completed the scoring in that Wembley match with a goal in the 90th minute.
These players illustrate how different England lineups have contributed to the team’s recent results against Serbia.
England vs Serbia Match Stats
The three recent results tell a clear statistical story.
| Match | England Goals | Serbia Goals | Result |
| Euro 2024 | 1 | 0 | England win |
| WC Qualifying, Sept. 2025 | 5 | 0 | England win |
| WC Qualifying, Nov. 2025 | 2 | 0 | England win |

The November 2025 meeting also provides useful performance data. UEFA recorded 63% possession for England, compared with 37% for Serbia. England attempted 19 shots, including six on target, while Serbia attempted seven, with one on target.
That match therefore ended 2-0, but England’s advantage was visible in several underlying match statistics.
Is England vs Serbia a Rivalry?
England vs Serbia can be described as a developing international matchup rather than a traditional rivalry with a long history of repeated high-stakes meetings between the modern teams.

There has also been significant fan interest surrounding the fixtures. Ahead of the Euro 2024 match, there were reports of clashes involving supporters in Gelsenkirchen, although the football itself ended with a 1-0 England victory.
On the field, however, the recent record is straightforward: England won each of the three senior meetings held in 2024 and 2025.
