England national under-20 football team, also known as England Under-20s or England U20(s) or England Men's Elite Squad, represents England in association football at an under-20 age level and is controlled by the Football Association, the governing body for football in England.

England were champions of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, after defeating Venezuela in the final of the 2017 tournament.[1]

From October 2023, the squad was rebranded as the England Men's Elite League Squad to reflect their participation in the Under 20 Elite League.[2]

On 23 August 2024, Paul Nevin was appointed head coach of the age group on an interim basis after Ben Futcher temporarily moved up to take charge of the England U21s.[3]
