England’s next match of Euro 2024: Date, kick-off time and TV channel for Slovenia game

England are top of Group C going into their final match of the Euro 2024 group stages. Their opponents are Slovenia, a team who have qualified for the European Championship for the first time in 24 years. 

The one notable meeting between the nations came in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, when Jermain Defoe’s winner helped Fabio Capello’s team scrape through to the knockout stages.

When is it? 

England’s final group game against Slovenia is on Tuesday, June 25.

Where is it?

At the Rhein Energie Stadion in Cologne. This 43,000-capacity venue is the home of Bundesliga side 1. FC Koln, and was constructed for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, although this is the third stadium that has existed on this same site in Cologne since 1923.

What time is kick-off?

The match will get under way in the tournament’s late slot: 8pm UK time. 

What TV channel is it on?

It will be broadcast live on ITV1. Roy Keane, Ian Wright, Gary Neville and Karen Carney are among ITV’s pundits for the tournament.

What is the England team news?

Matt Law and Mike McGrath report that Gareth Southgate is ready to make changes for England’s final group game and has raised fitness concerns over his players including Harry Kane.

According to Telegraph Sport columnist Jamie Carragher, Southgate must drop Phil Foden and Trent Alexander-Arnold if he is to get the most out of the players at his disposal. 

Meanwhile, Telegraph Sport’s football writers have named their XIs for the match. Find out if Cole Palmer is selected here. 

What sort of team are Slovenia?

They are the weakest team in England’s group, but Slovenia won seven out of 10 matches in qualifying.

Slovenia also have one of the best goalkeepers in the tournament in Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak, as well as one of Europe’s most sought-after young strikers in Benjamin Sesko. The 21-year-old has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea this summer.

Atalanta forward Josip Iličić is back in the squad at the age of 36. Manager Matjaz Kek tends to set them up in a 4-4-2 shape and they are the lowest-ranked team in the tournament at 57th in the Fifa standings.

What are the odds?

• England to win: 21/50
• Slovenia to win: 17/2
• Draw: 19/5
