World Cup 2026: Full list of Black Country pubs showing England V Croatia - plus how to watch on TV
Pubs across the region are gearing up for England’s first game of the 2026 World Cup against Croatia.
It’s set to be a busy night for pubs across the region as England get their 2026 World Cup campaign underway.
Fans of the Three Lions will be getting ready to see Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice take to the field to face 2018 finalists and 2022 semi-finalists Croatia at Dallas Stadium in Arlington on Wednesday.
England go into the tournament as one of the favourites to go all the way, and many consider this their best chance at gold since their last success, at home in 1966.
The 9pm kick off time in the UK means fans will be able to spend longer in pubs and get the best seats ahead of kick off, with the game being televised on ITV1 and on BBC Radio 5 Live and Talksport.
We’ve taken a look to see which pubs will be showing the game on Wednesday night across the Black Country from Wolverhampton to Dudley, from Darlaston to Smethwick and from West Bromwich to Tipton.
