England take on Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals on Saturday evening, with a place in the semi-finals at stake. The match kicks off at 10pm BST at Miami Stadium, which has a capacity of approximately 65,000. ITV will broadcast the game live in the UK, with coverage starting at 8.45pm.
TV Channel and Pundits
The quarter-final will be shown live on ITV, following the BBC's coverage of England's last-16 victory over Mexico. ITV's top lineup will handle the match, with presenter Mark Pougatch joined by pundits Roy Keane, Gary Neville and Ian Wright. Lead commentator Sam Matterface will be accompanied by Lee Dixon.
UK Broadcasting Rights
As is customary for major tournaments, UK broadcasting rights are split between the BBC and ITV. The BBC covered England's group matches against Ghana and DR Congo, as well as the Mexico round-of-16 tie, while ITV broadcast the Croatia and Panama fixtures.
Viewing Figures
England's dramatic victory over Mexico attracted a peak of 9.1 million viewers, with an average audience of 7.8 million across BBC One and iPlayer. With the Norway game kicking off at a more convenient time, the live audience could 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. For radio coverage, BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT will provide full live commentary from Miami, with build-up throughout the day.
BBC Post-Match Coverage
Although the BBC is not broadcasting the live feed, it will offer an instant post-match reaction programme on iPlayer and the BBC Football YouTube channel immediately after the final whistle.
Semi-Final Selection
The BBC will have first pick 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.
