  • Sunday’s World Cup action comes courtesy of groups G and H.
  • First up in Atlanta at 5 pm BST on BBC One is Spain , considered pre-tournament favourites, who are looking to kickstart their World Cup campaign against Saudi Arabia after a disappointing goalless draw with Cape Verde . The reigning European champions are hoping to have star player Lamine Yamal back in their side.
  • The second game of the day sees Belgium , another European powerhouse, aiming to secure crucial points against Iran following an unconvincing 1-1 draw against Egypt . The action kicks off at 8pm BST from Los Angeles and will be broadcast on ITV.
  • Uruguay , whose opening World Cup fixture saw the South Americans draw 1-1 against Saudi Arabia, will be hoping to deliver a more dynamic performance against Cape Verde, who impressed with their defensive resolution in a goalless draw against Spain. That match starts at 11pm BST from Miami with all the action on BBC One.
  • New Zealand , whose attacking ingenuity surprised during their 2-2 draw with Iran, take on Egypt, complete with Mohamed Salah, in Vancouver. The last game of the day starts at 2am BST and will be shown on ITV.
