England will take on Erling Haaland's Norway in the World Cup quarter-final on Saturday evening, with a place in the semi-finals at stake. The match, held at Miami Stadium, kicks off at 10pm BST on July 11, 2026.
TV Channel and Broadcast Details
The quarter-final will be broadcast live on ITV in the UK. ITV's coverage begins at 8.45pm. This is ITV's turn after the BBC aired England's dramatic last-16 win over Mexico.
Presenter Mark Pougatch will lead the coverage, joined by pundits Roy Keane, Gary Neville, and Ian Wright. Lead commentator Sam Matterface will be alongside Lee Dixon for the match commentary.
UK Broadcasting Rights and Audience
Under the traditional terrestrial sharing agreement, the BBC and ITV split UK TV rights for major tournaments. The BBC showed England's group games against Ghana and DR Congo, as well as the Mexico match, while ITV aired the Croatia and Panama fixtures.
England's win over Mexico drew a peak of 9.1 million viewers on the BBC, with an average of 7.8 million across BBC One and iPlayer. With the Norway game at a more convenient hour, the live audience could potentially double that figure.
Streaming and Radio Coverage
The match will be available on the ITVX platform for UK viewers with a valid TV licence. The ITVX app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT will provide full live commentary from Miami, with build-up throughout the day.
Semi-Final Selection
The BBC will have first selection of the semi-finals and will choose England if Thomas Tuchel's side advances. That fixture would be the second semi-final on Wednesday, July 15 in Atlanta.
