BBC and ITV World Cup fixtures announced as England schedule and live channels confirmed

Two of England's group-stage matches at the World Cup in Qatar will be broadcast by the BBC, while ITV boast coverage of their clash with the United States.

As revealed during last Friday's draw, the Three Lions kick-off their hotly-anticipated campaign on the opening day - Monday, November 21 - against Iran at 1pm GMT. That game will be shown on the BBC before England face USA on ITV the following Friday, November 25, at 7pm. Gareth Southgate and co will then end the first phase of the controversial tournament on the BBC versus their as yet unconfirmed opponents - either Scotland, Wales or Ukraine - at 7pm on Tuesday, November 29.

Only in June will the pair of home nations, as well as Ukraine, have the chance to earn their place in the competition. Wales have already sealed their spot in the play-off final - which they will host in Cardiff - by beating Austria 2-1 last month. But Scotland and Ukraine's semi-final, due to also take place over the March international break, was postponed as a result of the war between the Ukraine and Russia.
