The October international break saw another wave of teams secure their spot at next summer’s World Cup in America, Mexico and Canada.
The undisputed star attraction was the much-fancied England national team. Thomas Tuchel’s side qualified with six wins from six. 18 goals scored. And, not a single goal conceded.
England reached the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, followed by the quarter-finals in 2022, and will go into the 2026 World Cup as one of the most hyped teams.
The Three Lions finish their World Cup qualifying campaign with matches against Serbia and Albania, with both of those sides still chasing a play-off spot.
For the rest of Europe – including all the biggest countries on the continent – the November international fixtures are their opportunity to secure a spot at the World Cup next summer.
Listed below are the five biggest fixtures in Europe and the bargain ticket options to see what could be fascinating & significant encounters.
France vs Ukraine, November 13, 2025
France go into their next World Cup qualifier knowing that a win over Ukraine secures Les Bleus a place at the World Cup. Having won the tournament in 2018 and after losing to Argentina in the 2022 final, France will be one of the favourites next summer.
The home support clearly fancy their chances of beating Ukraine, as you can get into the Parc des Princes for just £41. Meanwhile, VIP tickets can be secured for just £138.
This France vs Ukraine fixture looks like set to be one of the bargains of the international break with Kylian Mbappe and co. expected to breeze into football’s biggest tournament with a convincing win here.
Republic of Ireland vs Portugal, November 13, 2025
Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo will make it to another World Cup with victory at the Aviva Stadium over Republic of Ireland. The home side are not out of contention though and have plenty to play for here.
This World Cup qualifier is comfortably the most expensive of those featured here, with tickets starting from £174.
Intriguingly, the cheapest tickets for Republic of Ireland vs Portugal currently sit in the away end. We do not expect these tickets to get much cheaper since this is the next game for both sides.
Italy vs Norway, November 16, 2025
Norway have been one of the stand-out teams in European World Cup qualifying. Erling Haaland doesn’t just bang in the goals for Manchester City.
Despite winning six from six, Norway can still be pegged back mathematically. Most likely Norway will beat Estonia and then come into this one with Italy needing a cricket score to secure top spot in Group I.
As a result, this game has tickets available at the San Siro from just £23. It could be a dead rubber. It could also be winner-takes-all. We have 68 listings right now for what could be an epic game.
Germany vs Slovakia, November 17, 2025
Going into the penultimate games in Group A, Germany and Slovakia are level on points. After Germany play Luxembourg at home and Slovakia host Northern Ireland, the two sides meet at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig.
As it stands, you can bag a ticket for Germany vs Slovakia on SeatPick for just over £50. Once this game is confirmed as the group decider, we expect there to be significant price rises.
In September, Slovakia beat Germany 2-0 and the underdogs in Group A may well be eyeing a phenomenal upset next month.
Scotland vs Denmark, November 18, 2025
Group C is a two-horse race for the automatic World Cup spot, between Scotland and Denmark. Scotland head to Greece before playing host to Denmark at Hampden Park.
This is another World Cup qualifier that looks set to dramatically increase in price, should Scotland do their job in Greece. Denmark play host to Belarus, who have zero points so far, so you can be sure the Danes will secure the win before the final match in Scotland.
Hampden Park is certain to be full to the rafters for this one. Right now, SeatPick has 33 listings for Scotland vs Denmark with the starting price at £80.
