They will then play against Belgium on Thursday June 28 at 7pm.

If England qualify from their group, they will then move into the knockout stages and fans have been assured they can watch all of the drama unfold live on Millennium Square, either on Monday July 2 or Tuesday July 3, if England reach round 16 and if they subsequently advance to further rounds.

Supporters are advised that gates for each England match will open approximately 1 ½ hours before kick-off.

Anyone wishing to attend, are asked to arrive early in order to secure their places as admission will be on a strictly first-come first-served basis until the capacity is reached.

“The atmosphere for England matches on Millennium Square is always electric, and we are looking forward to providing a fantastic family friendly experience in which to enjoy the big match action”.
