THE WORLD CUP FINAL

Sat 19 Jul, 20:00 BSTMetLife Stadium, New JerseyBBC One

#2

England vs Croatia

Wed 17 Jun, 21:00 BSTAT&T Stadium, DallasITV1

England open their World Cup campaign against a familiar foe. Croatia have beaten England before — but this England squad is better prepared than ever.

#3

Two of the most technically gifted squads in world football meet in Group C. Late night UK viewing but absolutely worth staying up for.

A clash of African football royalty with European superpower. Mbappe vs Sadio Mane's successors — one of the most anticipated group stage matches.

Japan's tactical discipline against Dutch technical quality. The last two World Cups have shown Japan are no pushover for top European sides.

The first World Cup semi-final. By this stage four teams remain from 48 starters. The pressure, quality and drama is always extraordinary.

The 10 Most Anticipated World Cup 2026 Matches for UK Viewers

The FIFA World Cup 2026 presents an unprecedented 104 matches across 48 teams — more elite international football than any previous tournament in history. For UK fans accustomed to the traditional 32-team format, the expanded bracket means there are significantly more fixtures to follow, and the challenge becomes knowing which games to prioritise across six weeks of action between 11 June and 19 July.

England's opener against Croatia on 17 June at AT&T Stadium in Dallas carries significant historical weight as a rematch of Euro 2020's group opener, which England won 1–0. The World Cup Final on 19 July at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will be broadcast on BBC One from 20:00 BST and is already the single most anticipated television event of summer 2026 in the United Kingdom. An IPTV subscription from cheapiptvuk.online includes all 104 matches as standard — no extra packages, no PPV charges.
