If you're looking for details of how to watch Panama vs England in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, we've got everything you need to know right here – and if you're also looking for information on how to stream all the World Cup matches for free, check out our detailed guide to free streaming here here.
The Panama vs England match is taking place in the stadium formerly known as MetLife Stadium, renamed New York New Jersey Stadium. The two teams previously faced one another in the 2018 World Cup when England recorded their biggest ever win, scoring six goals to Panama's one, and this is the rematch.
This will be Panama's second time at the World Cup; they failed to qualify from 1978-2014 and in 2022. England have only failed to qualify on three occasions and generally do well in World Cups: England won the World Cup in 1966, and they came fourth in Italy 1990 and fourth in Russia 2018. Where England are currently ranked 4th in the official Men's World Ranking, Panama are 34th.
I'm writing this ahead of two England World Cup games: England vs Croatia on the 17th of June and England vs Ghana on the 23rd of June. England is expected to win both of those matches and if they do, they will be feeling very confident of World Cup history repeating when they face Panama once again.
The Panama vs England match will take place on Saturday 27 June (Sunday 28th for viewers in Australia) at 5pm ET / 10pm BST / 7am AEST. Here's how to watch Panama vs England wherever you are.
How to watch Panama vs England free around the world
In the UK, the BBC and ITV are sharing the coverage with some matches streaming on the BBC and others on ITV. This match is one of the ITV ones, so you can watch it via ITVX (STV Player in Scotland) and stream the match for free. In Ireland the free streaming is once again on the RTE Player, and if you're in Australia you can watch for free via SBS On Demand.
Free streams are usually geoblocked so that people from other countries can't access them. If you're away from home this World Cup for leisure or travel you can use a VPN app to make your computer appear as if it's in your home country so that you can still catch the match.
Free streams available in:
- UK: ITVX
- Australia: SBS On Demand

How to watch Panama vs England in the US
Sadly there aren't any free streams for US residents, but that doesn't mean you can't see Panama vs England without having to shell out for a streaming subscription. Just sign up for a free trial and enjoy the game, or many games if it's a longer trial.
Right now the longest World Cup-friendly free trial is the free 21 day trial offered by YouTube TV for its Sports Plan, which includes all the Fox World Cup matches plus NFL, ESPN, TNT and more. A normal YouTube TV sports subscription can be pretty pricey, but it's discounted here for three months after the free trial ends so you'll pay $54.99 a month.
If you're a Spanish speaker, Peacock is broadcasting all the World Cup matches via Telemundo in both Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision in an industry first: it's the first major sporting event to be streamed using both technologies. The Telemundo streams require a Peacock Premium subscription, which is $10.99 per month, or free with a Walmart Plus subscription. You can sign up for Walmart Plus via a special promotion that gives you 30 days for just $1.
Fubo is streaming complete Fox and FS1 World Cup English-language coverage to subscribers who have the Fubo Sports+News package. That package costs $55.99 a month but Fubo currently offers a five-day free trial.
One of the shortest free trials we've seen is the one offered by Fox's streaming service Fox One. It's streaming all the matches in 4K on a $19.99 per month plan but it's only offering three days free.
How to watch Panama vs England in the UK
The BBC and ITV are splitting the World Cup coverage between them, and Panama vs England is one of the ITV ones so it'll be streaming on ITVX. Kick-off is 10pm UK time.
As ever if you're in Scotland, you'll need STV Player rather than ITVX: it's the same stream and features the same commentary panel so you won't miss anything.
If you'll be on holiday or working outside the UK but still want to use your ITVX or STV Player app, we'd recommend using Norton VPN. That's a very simple, solid and effective way to avoid being blocked when you're away from home.
