Belgium vs England live stream: how to watch World Cup third place play-off online
Live stream England vs Belgium – when and where
England vs Belgium in the third place play-off will take place at the Saint Petersburg Stadium on Saturday, July 14.
Kick-off is at at 5pm local time, which is 3pm BST, 10am ET, 7am PT, midnight AEST and 4pm in Belgium.
It’s the match that neither side wanted to be playing at the beginning of the week, but after semi-final disappointment, England and Belgium have the chance to leave the 2018 World Cup in Russia on a high with a third place finish. And we’ll tell you your World Cup live stream options so you can watch for free from anywhere.
Following their pedestrian group stage clash when both teams had already qualified for the next round, the two sides again meet in unusual circumstances and are likely to field much-changed teams once more. Belgium’s second string deserved their 1-0 win the first time out, with Adnan Januzaj’s cracking strike proving the difference, and will therefore enter this one as favorites.
But England should provide fired-up opposition as they bid to restore the feel-good factor they created back home during their run to the semi-finals. Sparingly-used players like Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Marcus Rashford and Jamie Vardy will have a point to prove and could be a handful for Belgium’s second string if given the nod.
To make sure you’re tuned in for the conclusion of the tournament – including, of course, the France vs Croatia World Cup final – you can catch up with our World Cup watching guide. For all the info specific to this third place play-off, keep scrolling down.
