Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford all scored to get the Three Lions up and running in Group L, with coach Thomas Tuchel reportedly giving a stirring half-time message to inspire the win.

England have two more matches in their group before potential ties in the round-of-32, round-of-16, and then quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final if they make it that far.

Pubs have been given expanded licensing hours for showing Home Nations' games throughout the tournament, meaning you can cheer on England and Scotland (when you are in those countries at least) with a drink until the end of the game.

With the 2026 World Cup happening across the US, Mexico and Canada, it has led to some late starts and finishes already, but here are some of the best places to catch the action.
