The opening game of the World Cup between England and Iran will be shown on the BBC.

The opening day of the tournament is on Monday, November 21st.

The final group game of the Three Lions will be shown on the BBC.

The second group game between Iran and either Wales, Scotland or Ukraine will be shown by the BBC.

The second group stage match between England and the United States will be shown live on ITV.

The play-off between Scotland and Ukraine was postponed because of Russia's invasion of the country. Wales will play the winner of that tie for a place at the World Cup.

The first and second picks of the last 16 and first pick of the quarter-finals will be shown on the UK channels.

The group stage matches between Spain and Germany, Brazil and Serbia, Argentina and Poland, and France and Belgium will all be shown by the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Fans will be able to watch 11 hours of live football on both channels, with the first two rounds of matches kicking off at 10:00, 13:00, and 16:00.

"We are very excited about our selection of matches," said Philip Bernie, head of TV Sport.

We have two England group games - their opening game with Iran then the intriguing match against either Wales, Scotland or Ukraine - as well as the big games involving Brazil, Argentina, France and Belgium, and the first pick of the semi-finals.

The World Cup will be a huge event to wrap up a major sporting year on the BBC.

The World Cup is now in focus and we are delighted to be able to bring viewers coverage of some of the marquee games of the tournament across the ITV channels and our new free streaming service.

We have picks for the round of 16 and the quarter-finals. The ITV Sport team is looking forward to showing the very best of the first winter World Cup.
