What TV channel is England vs Australia tonight? How to watch and kick off-time

A rivalry synonymous with cricket will be fought in the footballing arena when Australia travel to Wembley tomorrow night.

England have taken on the Aussies just seven times throughout the sport’s history, with a shock 3-1 loss in 2003 the only time they have tasted defeat. The most recent fixture was seven years ago when Manchester United duo Marcus Rashford and Wayne Rooney bagged in a 2-1 win.

This time around the Three Lions will treat Australia as a warm-up game ahead of a crucial Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy on Tuesday. Winning that could secure qualification for the Euros in Germany next summer providing other results go their way.
