England Wheelchair's World Cup final against France will be shown live on BBC iPlayer on Friday morning, underlining the growing profile of the sport.

Tom Coyd's side are bidding to retain the title they won in dramatic fashion four years ago.

England captured the imagination of the rugby league public in 2022, lifting the trophy in Manchester after showcasing the skill, athleticism and courage that make the sport so compelling.

This time they have carried the hopes of the nation as England's last remaining team in the tournament.

The defending champions booked a fourth successive decider against France with a commanding victory over hosts Australia on Tuesday.

The final will be screened on BBC iPlayer from 8.45am, giving the sport another opportunity to reach a wider audience.

Director of BBC Sport Alex Kay-Jelski said: "Sport is at its very best when it gives audiences moments they can share and an England team playing in a World Cup final is exactly that.

"Bringing audiences the biggest homegrown sporting moments is at the heart of BBC Sport and we’re proud to bring rugby fans England's final with France for the world title on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app."
