Julian Nagelsmann’s German side are targeting a record-equalling fifth World Cup title, while Curacao will be aiming to make a strong impression in what is considered a challenging group that also includes Ecuador and Ivory Coast.

This Group E clash kicks off at a UK-friendly 6pm BST, marking the start of a busy evening of international football.

Fans in the United Kingdom can catch the live broadcast on ITV and stream it via ITVX. The coverage will be anchored by Mark Pougatch, presenting from ITV’s visually striking temporary studio set against the backdrop of New York’s skyline.

Pougatch will be joined by co-presenter Adam Richman, best known from the series Man v. Food, adding a touch of American culture to the broadcast alongside the usual in-depth football analysis.

In the studio, Pougatch will be joined by Emma Hayes, Juan Mata, and Ian Wright, who will discuss the major talking points surrounding the match.

Emma Hayes, who previously managed Chelsea Women and now serves as the head coach of the United States Women’s National Team, is widely respected for her tactical knowledge and has earned praise for her insightful commentary during previous international tournaments.

Juan Mata, a former World Cup winner with Spain and ex-Manchester United midfielder, brings valuable experience and perspective. His connection to Curacao’s Tahith Chong, a former United teammate, adds an interesting narrative to his analysis.

Ian Wright, a former England international and one of the most popular football pundits in the country, will also feature, offering his characteristic passion and humour to the panel’s discussion.

Providing commentary for the match will be Seb Hutchinson, who is a regular voice across English football for Sky Sports and will take on the lead commentator role for ITV’s coverage of this fixture.
