England take on Argentina in rugby's Nations Championship this weekend, just days after the two countries met in the FIFA World Cup semi-final. Argentina came out on top in that encounter, with tensions rising between the two nations in the following days. England's footballers are preparing for the third-place play-off against France on Saturday night, which has influenced the broadcast plans for the second Anglo-Argentine clash this week.
Kick-off time and venue
Argentina v England kicks off at 8:10pm BST on Saturday, July 18, at Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero.
TV channel and live streaming
Unlike Argentina's other evening kick-offs, this match will be shown live and free on ITV1. Coverage on ITV starts at 7:30pm. Los Pumas' previous matches against Scotland and Wales were broadcast on ITV4, with last week's Argentina v Wales game clashing with ITV1's coverage of England v Norway in the World Cup. The week before, both South Africa v England and Argentina v Scotland were on ITV4, as ITV1 aired Tipping Point before their World Cup coverage. However, with the BBC holding rights to the third-place play-off between England and France on Saturday night, ITV is free to move the rugby coverage to its flagship channel.
You can stream the match via ITV's app, ITVX. A valid TV licence and an account are required to watch.
Radio coverage
The match can be heard on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports. BBC Radio 5 Live is available on DAB radio, MW 693 kHz, 909 kHz and 990 kHz, or via most TV packages. Listeners can also tune in online through the BBC website or BBC Sounds app.
