Newcastle’s Lewis Hall eyes England start: Croatia TV and kick-off

Newcastle United defender Lewis Hall could make a second successive England start when the Three Lions visit Croatia on Saturday, 3 October.

Croatia vs England kicks off at 5pm BST, with live television coverage on ITV1 and an online stream through ITVX.

Hall completed 90 minutes in Tuesday’s 2-0 victory over Czechia, earning his fifth senior cap. Newcastle’s international round-up confirms the left-back played the full match in Prague as Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scored.

Croatia vs England TV channel and kick-off time

England’s official broadcast guide confirms the Nations League fixture takes place in Rijeka.

The key viewing details are:

  • Date: Saturday 3 October 2026
  • Kick-off: 5pm BST
  • Venue: Stadium HNK Rijeka, also known as Stadion Rujevica
  • Competition: UEFA Nations League, Group A3
  • TV channel: ITV1
  • Live stream: ITVX

The match is also listed on STV and STV Player for viewers in Scotland.

Hall remains in contention after Nico O’Reilly withdrew from the England squad on Thursday, returning to Manchester City for further assessment.

That removes one option at left-back for Thomas Tuchel, although Hall’s place in the starting XI has not been confirmed.

England then return to Wembley to face Czechia on Tuesday, 6 October, with that match kicking off at 7.45pm BST.
