England vs. Japan Livestream: How to Watch International Friendly Soccer Free

London — Thomas Tuchel’s England will use Tuesday’s meeting with Japan at Wembley as the final audition before the German coach trims his roster to the 26 players who will represent the Three Lions at the 2026 World Cup. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. local time, with the contest airing free-to-air in the United Kingdom on ITV1 and streamable at no cost on ITVX.

England come into the match off a 1-1 draw with Uruguay on Friday, a result sealed when Ben White cancelled out an opener only to concede a stoppage-time penalty that Federico Valverde converted. White’s mixed evening was compounded by the loss of four senior squad members on Sunday: Arsenal trio Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke have returned to their club for medical assessment, while Manchester City centre-back John Stones has also withdrawn.

Japan, meanwhile, arrive in the capital buoyed by a 1-0 victory over Scotland at Hampden Park on Saturday, winger Junya Ito scoring an 88th-minute winner to maintain the Samurai Blue’s impressive form after cruising through Asian qualifying.
