Unfortunately, BBC will not air the first match of the tournament, but considering the fact that the match is between Russia and Saudi Arabia, doesn’t make it so important. But, on June 18th, BBC will air the match between England and Tunisia, live from Volgograd. On June 24th BBC will show the match between England and Panama, but the last, and maybe decisive match between England and Belgium (the two best teams in the group) on June 28th, will be aired by ITV.
Some other highlights on BBC during the group stage is for sure the match between Spain and Portugal on June 15th and Argentina versus Croatia on June 21st. Enjoy watching!
