England's final two World Cup warm-up friendlies will likely take place in sweltering Florida heat after the Three Lions' schedule was finalised on Thursday.
Thomas Tuchel's men will take on New Zealand on June 6 in Tampa Bay before facing Costa Rica four days later in Orlando.
Both games will kick off at 1600 local time (2000GMT) as England aim to acclimatise for punishing conditions once the competition gets underway.
Tuchel's squad will then head to Kansas City, where they will be based at the Soccer Swope Village for the duration of the tournament.
The Missouri city was the English Football Association's preferred location, despite two of their group games and several potential knockout matches being on the east coast of the United States.
England begin their quest for a first major tournament win since 1966 against Croatia in Dallas on June 17.
The side ranked fourth in the world then face Ghana in Boston and Panama in New Jersey.
