FIFA World Cup 2026 – France v England (BBC 1/HD/UHD | 9:30pm to 12:15am | Saturday 18th July 2026)
France v England (Kick-off 10.00pm). Coverage of the third-place play-off, which takes place at Miami Stadium in the USA. This is a match likely to feature several squad players, as the managers give those who have patiently waited their turn the chance to end the tournament on a high. France were expected to reach the final, but were soundly beaten by Spain in the semi-finals, and this represents Didier Deschamps’ final match in charge of Les Bleus. England blew a glorious chance to reach a second World Cup final, but let slip a 1-0 lead against Argentina, after Anthony Gordon’s opener had put them on their way against the defending champions.
