The groups have been picked for the World Cup 2018 and the dates and times for all England's fixtures can now be revealed.

England will play Tunisia, Panama and Belgium in Group G before hopefully competing in the knock-out rounds.

All the games will be broadcast live on either the BBC or ITV with plenty of England fans dropping everything to watch the three lions play.

Most of the timings work out well for UK viewers with games taking place on weekday evenings or midday weekends - so the need to skip work should be minimal.

Perhaps the best use of 'holidays' could be the day after some of England's big evening games.

The only terrible scheduling news comes if Gareth Southgate's men reach the final on 15 July.

Huddersfield's England supporters will be devastated to learn most of them will be watching Little Mix at the John Smith's Stadium when the match is on.

Below is a full run down of dates and times (BST) when the games will kick off on UK TV. Courtesy of the Mirror.
