Following the Three Lions’ win over the Netherlands in the semi-final on Wednesday, the BBC has announced its coverage plans for Sunday when the Euro 2020 runners-up face Spain, who won their semi-final against France on Tuesday. England’s victory has also led comedian John Bishop to move the time of his stand-up gig in Wolverhampton so he can watch the match. BBC One and BBC iPlayer will show live coverage of Spain v England from 7pm on July 14, with the game also available to watch on the BBC Sport website and app.
Sports presenter Mark Chapman will be on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds in the build-up to the match, from 7pm, before live commentary begins with the kick-off at 8pm. The BBC’s coverage of the match means that Countryfile has been moved to an earlier slot of 5.40pm.
Antiques Roadshow, which last aired with a D-Day special on Sunday June 2, is not on the schedule, but will return to BBC One next week. Elsewhere, stand-up comic Bishop, who is currently touring the country, said his West Midlands gig will be moved to an afternoon slot. Regarding my show on Sunday evening.
