England will face Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia in their Euro 2024 group next summer while Scotland will kick off the tournament against holders Germany on June 14.
Gareth Southgate's side face a replay of their Euro 2020 semi-final against the Danes in Group C, having won 2-1 after extra-time in July 2021 before eventually losing to Italy in the final.
England's first game on June 16 sees them travel to Gelsenkirchen to take on Serbia, who finished second in qualifying Group G behind Hungary, and who they have not faced since their split with Montenegro in 2006.
They then take on Denmark four days later in Frankfurt before rounding off their group on June 25 in Cologne against Slovenia, who they previously beat in a must-win final group game at World Cup 2010 to reach the knockout stages.
Scotland face a tough test against the hosts, with perennial qualifiers Switzerland and Hungary, who reached the knock-out stages in 2016, also in Group A.
The Tartan Army have history kicking off tournaments, having been drawn to face Brazil in the opening game of World Cup 1998, a game they narrowly lost 2-1 to a second-half Tom Boyd own goal.
Wales, should they qualify, will face another difficult prospect with the Netherlands, Austria and France awaiting in Group D for the Path A play-off winner.
