Where to Watch the World Cup
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is in full swing, and the focus is on football until 19th July
Until Sunday 19th July, across the USA, Canada and Mexico, 48 teams are competing in a total of 104 matches in the biggest World Cup ever. England will play Croatia on 17th June, followed by Ghana on 23rd and Panama on 27th, and local lads Jordan Pickford, John Stones, Elliot Anderson, Jordan Henderson and Dan Burn are in Tuchel's squad. While Pickford and Stones will be marking their third World Cup, Henderson will be making a Three Lions’ record-equalling fourth appearance in the finals, level with Sir Bobby Charlton.

Games will also be shown out in the beer garden if the weather allows.
