World Cup 2026: Where to watch the England v Ghana game on big screens in London

The 2026 World Cup is underway with England fans still celebrating a decisive win against Croatia on Wednesday.

But Thomas Tuchel’s side has more hurdles to climb. The Three Lions will now face Ghana in Boston on Tuesday in a match that promises serious talent from both teams.

While an estimated 1.4 million visitors have travelled to Canada, Mexico and the US for the world’s most anticipated sporting event, many fans will be soaking in the atmosphere and watching all 104 games from London.

Tickets to screenings are selling out fast, so punters should be sure to check before heading out and to book where possible.

For mass singalongs of Three Lions and Vindaloo, look no further than Evening Standard’s guide to the busiest pubs and best fan zones to watch the World Cup.
