The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicks off in Russia today (Thursday 14th June), and just like we have been since our famous victory in 1966, the country is hopeful that 2018 can be the year our Three Lions finally lift the cup.
With the England squad announced and preparations for the first game on Monday 18th June in full swing, we've made a simple schedule so you don't miss Harry Kane and co in action.
Although the FIFA World Cup begins on Thursday 14th June, England's first game isn't until Monday 18th June, when they play Tunisia in the group stage. They then move on to play Panama on the 24th June, before a tough game against Belgium on the 28th June.
Group Stages:
Monday 18th June: Tunisia Vs England - 7pm Kick-Off (BBC)

Monday 2nd July (7pm Kick-Off)
Tuesday 3rd July (7pm Kick-Off)
