BBC offers 'Stay Up or Catch Up' for England v Mexico

The BBC will be launching a special 'Stay Up or Catch Up' offer for its live coverage of England's game against Mexico at the 2026 World Cup. The last-16 tie, which will kick off at 01:00 BST on Monday, will be broadcast exclusively live on BBC One and the BBC iPlayer, with presenter Kelly Cates joined by Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart and Micah Richards. In addition, there will also be a full no-spoiler re-run of the game on BBC Two from 07:10 BST, while a full re-run of the match will be available on demand from 06:00 BST on BBC iPlayer. There will also be live radio commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds, alongside live text coverage and in-match clips across the BBC Sport website and app. An extended 15-minute highlights programme on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport Football YouTube channel will be available as well. And fans can follow the match live in 3D on BBC Sport's popular World Cup 3D experience feature. "World Cup knockout football is absolutely unmissable, but a 1:00am kick-off isn't realistic for everyone," said BBC director of sport Alex Kay-Jelski. "We wanted to make sure there was an option for those fans who just can't stay up to experience one of England's biggest matches live. "So, whether you're staying up to watch every minute live or waking up to catch every moment spoiler-free, BBC Sport has you covered this Monday. "From our exclusive live broadcast to our dedicated catch-up experience, we're making it easier than ever for audiences to enjoy the World Cup on their terms."
