Ireland vs England: What time are England playing today, TV and streaming details, how to watch Lee Carsley's first game

England and Republic of Ireland begin new eras this weekend as head coaches Lee Carsley and Heimir Hallgrímsson take to the dugout for the first game in charge of their respective nations.

Two months on from England’s Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain, the Three Lions travel to Ireland to open their Nations League campaign with a trip to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium for a clash against their near neighbours - and there is plenty at stake.

Carsley, who was named as England’s interim coach following the departure of the long-serving Gareth Southgate, will take charge of his first game against a nation he made 40 international appearances for as a player, while both Declan Rice and Jack Grealish will return to Ireland for the first time since they turned their back on them and switched international allegiance to England.

As for new Irish boss Hallgrímsson, he’ll be hoping for a repeat of his Euro 2016 success over England whilst he was manager of his native Iceland. The 57-year-old masterminded a memorable 2-1 win over the Three Lions in the last 16 stage of the European Championships in Nice back in 2016, but is insistent that it’ll have no baring on Saturday’s gaame.

“It is a totally different England team,” said Hallgrímsson. “The individual quality, the technical skills and speed of this team is much higher than the one we played. They are coming off a good tournament. The biggest difference is they had two months together (at the Euros) and we have three days to prepare.”
