England face Croatia at Wembley Stadium on Thursday, 12 November 2026, in UEFA Nations League A Group 3, with kick-off at 7.45pm GMT. ITV1 is showing the match live in the UK, while ITVX offers an online stream for supporters watching on their phones, computers or compatible TVs.
How to Watch England vs Croatia Live Stream in the UK
ITV1 will broadcast England against Croatia live, with coverage starting at 7pm GMT. ITVX will stream the same programme online, with no paid sports subscription required. Kick-off follows at 7.45pm.
Some online bookmakers may add live streaming for eligible active customers closer to kick-off, so check your provider before the match begins. This option is strictly 18+. Geo-location restrictions and live-streaming terms apply.
ITVX is the most direct online route for UK supporters. Sign in with an ITV account, open the live ITV1 channel and select the England programme. Registration may be needed, but the match is part of ITV’s regular television coverage rather than a separate pay-per-view event.
Viewers in Scotland can follow the game on STV or stream it through STV Player. The broadcast begins 45 minutes before the first whistle, leaving plenty of time for the Wembley build-up.
TV Info: What Channel Is England vs Croatia On?
ITV1 is the main UK television channel, with STV carrying the match in Scotland. The programme starts at 7pm, ahead of the 7.45pm kick-off.
ITV1 is on Freeview channel 3 and channel 103 on Sky and Virgin TV in the usual regional arrangements. No additional football package is needed for the television broadcast, although a valid TV Licence is required to watch live in the UK.
Thursday’s fixture also falls on an evening featuring Italy against France and Czech Republic against Spain. Those matches have separate UK viewing arrangements, so England supporters should head directly to ITV1.
England vs Croatia Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Open ITVX on your phone or tablet, or visit its web player on a computer. Sign in and choose the live ITV1 channel once the Wembley programme begins.
On a compatible smart TV, the ITVX app offers another way to watch. Select the live television section rather than searching through older football programmes.
In Scotland, STV Player carries the equivalent broadcast. Check which service operates in your region before signing in, particularly if you’re using a TV that hasn’t opened ITVX or STV Player before.
Can You Cast England vs Croatia to a TV?
If ITVX supports AirPlay or Chromecast on your chosen phone and television, start the ITV1 stream and use the casting control to select your TV. Both devices should share the same Wi-Fi network.
Alternatively, use ITV1 directly on your television or open ITVX through a compatible smart-TV app. That avoids relying on a second screen during the match.
Watching England vs Croatia While Travelling
If you’re outside the UK, check which broadcaster shows England against Croatia where you are. ITVX and STV Player have location restrictions, so being able to use your account at home doesn’t guarantee the same viewing arrangements abroad.
Check local television schedules before kick-off rather than assuming the UK broadcast will travel with you.
Live Audio, Highlights and Match Replay
BBC Radio 5 Live has scheduled live commentary from Wembley at 7.45pm, with its pre-match programme beginning at 7pm. England supporters can also follow match updates through the England Football match centre.
For video highlights, check ITV’s football coverage and England’s own channels after full-time. A highlights programme is different from a complete replay, so don’t assume the full match will remain watchable on ITVX indefinitely.
Manager Head-to-Head Stats
Thomas Tuchel has won 376 of his 634 managerial matches, compared with Slaven Bilić’s 217 victories from 484 games. Their career win rates are 59.3% and 44.8% respectively.
Tuchel has managed England for 26 matches, recording 20 wins, two draws and four defeats. Bilić has overseen four matches since returning to the Croatia job in July, winning once and losing three times.

Team Key Stats

Streaming Troubleshooting
If ITVX starts buffering, refresh the player, restart the app and check your internet connection. Switch to Wi-Fi if your mobile signal is unreliable.
Sign in before the 7pm programme begins rather than discovering an account problem just before kick-off. If you’re in Scotland, check whether STV Player is the appropriate service for your region.
Online streams can run slightly behind the live action, so score notifications may reach your phone before the incident appears on screen.
