BBC announces World Cup coverage

The BBC will also have live coverage of England's first knockout clash - possibly against hosts Germany or Poland - if they qualify.

First choice of quarter-final also goes to the BBC, which would again be England if they make the last eight.

And any England semi-final or final appearance would also be on the BBC as well as ITV.

ITV will be showing England's group games against Trinidad & Tobago and Sweden.

The BBC's coverage, revealed on Monday, will also feature the opening game of the tournament - Germany v Costa Rica in Munich on 9 June.

Brazil's two peak-time matches - against Croatia and Japan, kicking off at 2000 BST - will be on the BBC, as will Italy's opening game against Ghana.

All three group games involving France will feature on the BBC as well as Germany v Poland and the final group games involving Italy, the Czech Republic and Spain.

BBC Radio will have commentary from every match at the World Cup, with broadcasts on both Five Live and Five Live Sports Extra.

The BBC Sport website will also provide extensive coverage of every match.
