Delayed by the Coronavirus pandemic and coming at the end of a hectic season of domestic competition, the tournament still promises to be as enthralling as ever, not least because England go into it with a strong squad at their disposal.
Gareth Southgate has been able to call upon 26 players to make up his contingent this time around, and has selected talent from a wide range of Premier League, Championship, and continental clubs.
And that got us thinking about which areas of the country have produced the most England internationals in recent years.
