FULL WORLD CUP SCHEDULE: ALL 104 MATCHES AND THEIR UK AND US KICK-OFF TIMES

Hosted across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the world’s favourite footballing tournament will welcome a record 48 teams - including newcomers such as Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan and Uzbekistan.
Big-hitters such as Italy and Denmark have still to qualify, while Scotland and England could be joined by Ireland and one of Wales or Northern Ireland should they navigate those tricky qualifiers next year.
