ENGLAND are set to have to find a new home for their World Cup qualifier against Andorra, with Wembley likely unavailable.
The Three Lions learned their 2026 World Cup qualifying opponents during yesterday's draw in Zurich.
Thomas Tuchel will begin his England reign on March 21 with a Wembley assignment against Albania.
England will then host Latvia three days later, before travelling to Andorra in June.
They are then scheduled to host Andorra on September 6, although they will likely have to do so away from Wembley.
That's because the national stadium is currently booked to host a series of Coldplay concerts around that night.
The British band have 10 Wembley shows scheduled between August 22 and September 8.
These include dates on September 4 and 7, creating a logistical nightmare if England were to play there in between.
The Three Lions have played some home matches away from Wembley in recent years.
In June they hosted a pre-Euro 2024 friendly against Bosnia & Herzegovina at Newcastle's St James' Park.

While in June 2023 they defeated North Macedonia 7-0 at Manchester United's Old Trafford.
Molineux and the Riverside have both also been used since 2021.
Three days after the home match vs Andorra, England will travel to Serbia.
The following month they will take on Latvia away from home, before concluding their campaign by hosting Serbia and travelling to Albania in November 2025.
Quizzed on yesterday's draw, Tuchel said: "I have huge respect for Serbia and Albania.
"They can always surprise they have a strong history of technical football, of emotional players and groups.
"They have two very famous ex-players as coaches so we should be very aware of that.
"Latvia… England never played them so this is a new experience for all of us.
"We are huge favourites and we have to qualify, this is where all the focus goes.
"There can’t be any other approach than take it seriously and with respect and make it happen before we can dream the dream."
