Is England vs Ghana on TV? Channel, Kick-off Time, Predicted Line Ups & How to Watch & Bet on World Cup 2026 Matches
Mark Strijbosch
For Thomas Tuchel tonight, it’s a simple formula. A win against Ghana will send England through to the World Cup knock-out stages, round of 32, with a game to spare.
England opened Group L with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Croatia, with Harry Kane scoring twice alongside Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford. Ghana beat Panama 1-0 through Caleb Yirenkyi, but will need a sharper display to upset one of the tournament favourites.
The sides have met only once before, drawing 1-1 in a 2011 friendly at Wembley. England are unbeaten in eight World Cup matches against African opposition, while Ghana are aiming to reach the knockouts for the first time since their run to the 2010 quarter-finals.

England vs Ghana team news
Tuchel is still sweating over Declan Rice's fitness; however, he is expected to start. Bukayo Saka has trained freely after an Achilles issue and is available, though he may again begin among the substitutes to manage his minutes.
Thomas Partey should be available for Ghana after missing the Panama game. Goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi is a doubt after being forced off in that win.
