Late kickoff time: The highly anticipated World Cup round-of-16 clash between England and Mexico is scheduled to kick off at 1am BST on Monday, July 6.

Because of this late start time, the game is not expected to conclude until well after 3am.

The game is now certain to kick-off at 1am UK time after speculation emerged on Friday that it might be brought forward to 7pm in the UK.

Government licensing extension: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced a massive emergency licensing extension on Thursday to allow venues to support the national team.

This new directive specifically permits pubs and bars across England and Wales to remain open much later than usual for the upcoming knockout match.
