As favourites to lift the winner’s trophy, the Americans will be stiff competition for England tonight (Tue 2 Jul) but, after 7.6 million people tuned in to witness England’s quarter final victory over Norway, the country will be firmly behind Steph Houghton’s side.

What time is kick-off?

The game (hosted at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon, home of one of France’s biggest clubs and one of the most successful women’s teams, Olympique Lyonnais) will kick off at 8pm GMT.

Provided the match is finished within the standard 90 minutes, it should be finished by 10pm but, with extra time and penalties a possibility, things could run until 11pm.

How to watch the game

The match will be shown live on BBC One and online from 7.30pm, with live coverage also available on BBC Radio 5 Live.
