What channel is England v Japan international friendly on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch England v Japan in an international friendly, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
England host Japan at Wembley on Tuesday in their final warm-up match ahead of World Cup 2026.
The Three Lions squad will be back to full strength after Thomas Tuchel rested 11 of his regulars for Friday's game against Uruguay, which was an expectedly drab 1-1 draw.
Tuchel may well opt to use the midweek friendly as another chance to run the rule over some fringe players rather than give his first-choice XI a run-out.
Japan should pose England a very different test to Friday's physical visitors but are another side that head into this summer's tournament aiming to reach the knockout stages, having beaten Scotland on Saturday.
Though warm-up matches are more about minutes than momentum, both sides would love to head into World Cup 2026 on the back of a victory.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch England v Japan on TV and online.
