England v Tunisia World Cup 2018: what time is the Group G fixture live on TV?
England's first match of the World Cup in Russia is fast approaching – are you ready to dream? Check the TV coverage info, date and kick-off time here
England's opening match of the 2018 World Cup in Group G will be against Tunisia.
The ideal UK kick-off time means that there is set to be a huge TV audience for the opening game of Gareth Southgate's World Cup campaign.
And in a tournament that has already seen Germany lose and Brazil draw, Russia 2018 is already proving to be a World Cup of upsets.
That's both a blessing and a curse for Harry Kane and England. Little-fancied before the tournament, they could yet upset the odds with big hitters misfiring.
Then again, a victory is expected in this Monday's match against Tunisia, making England the ones vulnerable to an early upset.
Tougher opponents await in the form of Group G favourites Belgium, but for now, check out all the TV coverage details, kick-off times and more below.
