If you're looking for how to watch England vs Croatia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, all the details are here – and we've also put together a guide on how to watch all the World Cup matches for free.
The England vs Croatia match on 17 June at Dallas Stadium will be the second time the two teams have faced off in the FIFA World Cup. At Russia 2018 England got off to a strong start against their rivals but ended up losing after the interval while Croatia went to the final. Croatia also came third at Qatar 2022, so they're a serious side.
England haven't won a World Cup since 1966, but they are coming to this match with a 100% win record from UEFA Group K so they'll be getting a confidence boost from that. That means this is set to be a really exciting showdown.

Here are all the details you need about how to watch England vs Croatia in the World Cup 2026.
