The last-32 of the 2026 World Cup is delivering bucketloads of drama for fans to watch live on television.
Every single game in the competition is available to watch on free-to-air TV for UK viewers – including tonight’s clash between England and DR Congo.
Of course, you do have to factor in the time difference, with the kinder kick-off times including slots at 6pm BST and 8pm BST, while there are games throughout the night for UK viewers.
Here’s how you can watch every game at the 2026 World Cup on the BBC and ITV – and STV in Scotland.
