Interestingly, England's home matches haven't always been played at the national stadium. Since their first international in 1872, matches were held at various cricket grounds and football club stadiums all around the country. From 1924 to 1950s, the original Wembley Stadium in London was used mainly for matches against Scotland and then became the permanent home stadium during the 1950s. After Wembley closed in 2000 and was rebuilt (2002-2003), England played at various venues nationwide, with Old Trafford in Manchester becoming the primary venue by the 2006 World Cup qualification period, and St. James' Park in Newcastle used occasionally. Since 2007, the new Wembley Stadium has been England’s home stadium.

The main known stadiums used as home venues are:

Original Wembley Stadium (1924–2000)
New Wembley Stadium (from 2007 onward)
Old Trafford, Manchester (used extensively during 2000–2007)
St. James' Park, Newcastle (used occasionally in early 2000s)

Before Wembley, other cricket and football grounds were used countrywide, but exact venue names and counts are not comprehensively detailed in the provided sources.

Recently, England faced a setback as they fell to defeat against Senegal at a Premier League ground. Despite this, the team has an imperious record on home turf, especially during the modern era.
