Dates, times and live TV coverage details for every match of the first knockout round at the World Cup in Russia – UPDATED
Unfortunately, the World Cup 2018 can’t last forever – and the 32 starting countries must be cut in half before the knockout rounds.
Only the winner and runner-up from each group will progress to the Round of 16. So, when are the first World Cup knockout matches on TV – and who will be playing?
The BBC and ITV will share coverage of the World Cup last 16 matches, with the broadcasters deciding between them which matches they will air once all the fixtures are confirmed.
ITV had the first two picks of the last 16 fixtures and they have unsurprisingly chosen to broadcast the England match. Check below for all the Last 16 World Cup fixtures, dates and kick-off times.
