What channel is England v Croatia Euro 2020 match on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Check out how to watch England v Croatia at Euro 2020 live on TV, plus the latest team news, predictions and odds.
England embark on their Euro 2020 fixtures this weekend with a clash against Croatia to open up their tournament at Wembley on Sunday.
The Three Lions' last match in a major tournament finals was a defeat to Croatia in the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.
Since then, fresh impetus has been injected into Gareth Southgate's side with the likes of Mason Mount, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden all pushing for a start in the first team.
England will be wary of the awkward group in which they have been placed, with Croatia arguably the most stern competition for Southgate's men, though Czech Republic are tipped to go well and Scotland will be fired up to provide a threat.
Fans will be desperate to see England get off to a flying start on home soil and know they stand a good chance of winning the group should they pick up maximum points against Luka Modric's men.

Our prediction: England v Croatia
Only judge England based on their major tournament performances; everything else is essentially a warm-up, an experiment. This is where we see results – or not.
The Three Lions boast their most exciting squad in years and will feel at home inside Wembley. That should settle some of the nerves, at least.
Croatia still boast a handful of shrewd operators including Ante Rebic but Ivan Perisic is in decline, Luka Modric isn't getting any younger and Mandzukic has retired from the international scene.
If England are serious about going all the way in Euro 2020, they will see this as a win on a plate.
Our prediction: England 2-1 Croatia (17/2 at bet365)
