The following is a list of the only World Cup
finals games played by England and broadcast live in the United Kingdom,
together with the only commentators given the honour of describing the
action as it happened, for the benefit of the viewers back home. England
have played seven other games (one in 1954, two in 1958 and four in 1962)
that were not televised live and were broadcast only in highlights form in
the days following each game. The 1950 tournament, in which England played
three games, was not televised at all.

Notes |
This was the
first World Cup to be broadcast in the UK on satellite television, with
Eurosport showing every game. Peter Brackley and Lawrie McMenemy probably
provided live commentary on most of England's matches, with Ian Darke
possibly stepping in for Brackley against Italy, with Brackley doing the
following night's final. The games against Republic of Ireland, Netherlands and West Germany were
not shown live, but broadcast in full, two hours after the kick-off time. |

Only the
Tunisia game was shown live by Eurosport. The commentators were Guy Mowbray
and Bryan Robson, who were probably also at the microphone for the other
England games. These were broadcast in full, two hours after the kick-off
time. It was the last World Cup tournament in which Eurosport showed live
games. |

Notes |
The BBC iPlayer
and Red Button service also provided a World Cup Extra with Five Live
programme within which the Radio Five Live commentators were used
instead of those on BBC1, for the games shown live by the BBC. They
were also streamed in Ultra High-Definition and High Dynamic Range on the BBC iPlayer. For
the game with Wales, BBC1 Wales had their own commentary team of Simon
Davies, Nia Jones and Neil Taylor, whilst S4C also broadcast the game
live, with commentary from Nic Parry, Malcolm Allen and Gwennan
Harries in the Welsh language. The BBC iPlayer, in addition, broadcast
a World Cup Watchalong with Nihal Arthanayake and three teenage cast
members of the Children's BBC football drama, Jamie Johnson. |
