England vs Iran takes place in the 2022 World Cup today, and we have all you need to know ahead of the match, including the UK start time.
Gareth Southgate's Three Lions will be looking to kick off their World Cup in the perfect fashion against Iran, who they have never faced in a recorded competitive fixture.
They are managed by former Manchester United manager Carlos Queiroz, who took charge of the nation's senior team following his departure as Egypt head coach earlier this year.
England go into the tournament as one of the favourites to lift the World Cup, despite a mixed run of form in the Nations League this year.
But their recent record in major tournaments stands them in good stead, with last year's path to the Euro 2020 final preceded by a semi-final appearance at the 2018 World Cup.
