England vs Ghana LIVE: World Cup 2026 latest score

England are looking to make it two wins from two when they take on Ghana in their second World Cup group stage match tonight. The Three Lions got off to a thrilling start against Croatia last week with a 4-2 victory, described as their best ever opening match in a major international competition.

Team News and Lineup Changes

Thomas Tuchel has made two changes to his England starting XI for the Ghana clash. Djed Spence comes in at left-back for Nico O'Reilly, and Marc Guehi replaces John Stones in central defence. The defence was criticised in the win over Croatia, but changing half of it raises questions.

Ghana, coming off an injury-time winner against Panama, are also looking to secure their place in the knockout stages.

Match Details and Broadcast

The game kicks off at 9pm UK time (4pm local) in Boston. It will be broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer, with coverage starting at 8pm.

Group Stage Implications

A win for England would secure qualification to the round of 32 and could be enough to secure top spot, depending on the result of Panama vs Croatia later in the night.

Elsewhere, Portugal are cruising against Uzbekistan with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice in a 3-0 lead at half-time.
