The BBC and ITV have confirmed how they will divide up the broadcast rights to the matches for this year's World Cup in Qatar following last week's groups draw.

England's first game of the tournament - against Iran at 1pm on the opening day, November 21 - will air on the BBC, as will the final group game against either Wales, Scotland or Ukraine on November 29.

ITV has just one group game involving the Three Lions, England vs. USA on November 25, but has been guaranteed the first and second picks of the round of 16, as well as first pick of the quarter-finals.

The BBC will get first pick of the semi-finals and then both broadcasters are able to show the final on December 18.

"We are very excited about our selection of matches," said Philip Bernie, the BBC's head of TV Sport. "We have two England group games - their opening group game with Iran and then the enticing match up against either Wales, Scotland or Ukraine - as well as the heavyweight clash between Spain and Germany, big games involving Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, France and Belgium, and the first pick of the semi-finals."

ITV director of sport Niall Sloane added: "The World Cup is now in focus and we're delighted to be able to bring viewers coverage of what promises to be some of the standout games of the tournament across ITV channels and our new free streaming service ITVX, which launches this autumn.

"We're kicking-off with the opening match and will show England's group stage match against the USA as well as games involving tournament favourites such as Brazil, France, Argentina, Spain and the Netherlands. Plus, we have picks one and two of the round of 16 and pick one of the quarter-finals."
