Coverage for the England vs Croatia match begins at 8 pm, with ITV handling the broadcast. But who are the key figures bringing the game to viewers?

Mark Pougatch will serve as the main presenter for ITV’s coverage on the night.

Joining him in the studio will be former England stars Ian Wright and Gary Neville, both known for their deep passion for the national team and their insightful analysis. Their perspectives are expected to reflect their enduring support for the Three Lions.

Gary Neville, who earned 85 international caps for England, represented his country at five major tournaments – three European Championships and two World Cups. Ian Wright, meanwhile, made 33 appearances for the national side, scoring nine goals, though injuries prevented him from participating in any major tournament.

Adding his trademark straightforward perspective will be Roy Keane, who is set to provide a balanced counterpoint to Wright and Neville’s England-centric enthusiasm.

The trio are well accustomed to working together, whether on television for Sky Sports or on their widely followed football discussion show and podcast, The Overlap.

During the match, commentary duties will be led by Sam Matterface, ITV’s lead commentator, who is also known for his work with TNT Sports and talkSPORT. Matterface has become the familiar voice behind England’s major matches.

Alongside him in the commentary box will be former England and Arsenal defender Lee Dixon. The pair frequently team up for international fixtures, making them a well-established duo for fans of the national side.

Lee Dixon earned 22 caps for England during his career. Although he was part of the Euro 1992 squad, he did not feature in the tournament and subsequently missed four more major competitions after losing his spot in the lineup to, ironically, Gary Neville.
