Historical context
England and Ghana met at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa in the quarter-finals, a match that kicked off at 20:30 Johannesburg time (20:30 London BST, 21:30 Accra time). Both sets of fans had a comfortable evening view of that encounter. The 9:00 PM London and 8:00 PM Accra windows in 2026 are almost identical in experience: this is a well-scheduled rematch for both audiences.
