The full broadcast schedule for the 2022 World Cup has now been confirmed, with England’s opener against Iran kicking off on the BBC at 1pm GMT on November 21.
The Three Lions’ second group stage game against the United States will be aired on ITV at 7pm four days later, before the concluding fixture is shown on the BBC on November 29, also at 7pm.
Gareth Southgate’s side will face one of Scotland, Ukraine or Wales, depending on the outcome of the World Cup play-off qualifiers set to take place in June.
Should the 2018 semi-finalists progress beyond the group stage, their last-16 and quarter-final encounters will be shown on ITV before a potential semi-final clash airs on the BBC.
