England vs Ghana FIFA World Cup 2026: Kick-off Time and Starting XI

England vs Ghana FIFA World Cup 2026: Kick-off Time and Starting XI

England and Ghana will meet in the upcoming World Cup clash at the Gillette Stadium. The game is scheduled to begin at 1 AM PKT, June 24.

England made a strong start to their World Cup journey by beating Croatia 4-2 in their opening game. Another win here would put them in a good position to reach the knockout stage.

Ghana also collected three points in their first match after a narrow 1-0 victory over Panama. They will now try to continue that form against a far more difficult opponent.

The two sides have met only once before, and that match ended in a draw, making this important group-stage contest even more interesting.

For the upcoming encounter, both teams have revealed their starting XI. Let’s take a look at them below.

England Starting XI

Jordan Pickford (GK); Reece James, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi, Djed Spence; Elliot Anderson, Declan Rice; Noni Madueke, Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon; Harry Kane (C)

Ghana Starting XI

Benjamin Asare; Marvin Senaya, Jonas Adjetey, Jerome Opoku, Gideon Mensah; Caleb Yirenkyi, Thomas Partey, Kwasi Sibo; Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew (c), Antoine Semenyo.
