Is England vs Bosnia on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch

Gareth Southgate’s England side will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the first of two warm-up friendlies ahead of the start of Euro 2024.

The Three Lions travel to Newcastle this evening for the first step in their preparations ahead of the summer tournament, which begins in Germany on 14 June.

England’s first game takes place against Serbia on 16 June, but before that, Southgate needs to narrow down his 33-man provisional squad to just 26 players.

This game will likely help to decide who occupies those final spots on the plane to Germany, but some England stalwarts will be injured for the game, with players such as Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka unavailable, the former having won the Champions League just 48 hours beforehand. So expect plenty of changes, with the England manager experimenting with different players as he tries to trim his squad, and certain players trying to grab their last chance at a spot on the plane. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game.

Prediction

Even a depleted or experimental England side should have enough to win the game, with the away side not taking part in this summer’s European championships. Expect wholesale changes as Southgate aims to make the final decisions on his squad for the tournament, but a straightforward England win nonetheless. England 3-1 Bosnia.
