Forthcoming Events

At The Rose & Crown

5th July, 2026
British Grand Prix (Formula 1)

British Grand Prix (Formula 1)

Coverage of the ninth round of the campaign, held at Silverstone. Home favourite Lando Norris took the chequered flag here last year for McLaren, with his teammate Oscar Piastri finishing second and Sauber's Nico Hülkenberg claiming his maiden podium in third. Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton will be looking to extend his record of most wins at this Grand Prix having already won nine races here between 2008 and 2024.

5th July, 2026
Brazil vs Norway (World Cup)

Brazil vs Norway (World Cup)

Coverage of the third round-of-16 match, which takes place at New York/New Jersey Stadium in the USA. Brazil came from behind to beat Japan 2-1 in injury-time, having trailed at the break, with goals by Casemiro and Gabriel Martinelli breaking Japanese hearts. Despite not quite reaching their peak yet, Brazil will start as favourites here as they look to move a step closer towards a first World Cup triumph since 2002. Norway had Erling Braut Haaland to thank for a late winner in their last-32 match against Ivory Coast, after Amad Diallo's stunning goal had seemed enough to take the game into extra time.

6th July, 2026
Mexico vs England (World Cup)

Mexico vs England (World Cup)

Coverage of the fourth round-of-16 match, which takes place at Mexico City Stadium. England claimed a 3-0 win over Senegal in the corresponding match of the 2022 World Cup thanks to goals by Jordan Henderson, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane. Should they have defeated DR Congo in the round of 32, the Three Lions will be involved in this contest once again, with Mexico their opponents. The co-hosts beat Ecuador 2-0 in the last round thanks to first-half goals from Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez. Facing the Mexicans at this venue would be a particularly tough test as they have an excellent record here over the years.

6th July, 2026
Portugal vs Spain (World Cup)

Portugal vs Spain (World Cup)

Coverage of the fifth round-of-16 match, which takes place at Dallas Stadium in the USA. Portugal finished second in their group, below Colombia and above DR Congo and Uzbekistan with two draws and a win before coming back from behind in their round-of-32 match with Croatia to prevail 2-1. Spain got off to a disappointing start with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, but they are still yet to concede in this tournament, having followed that result up with wins against Saudi Arabia and Uruguay in the group stage, before comfortably defeating Austria 3-0 in the next round. However, this is likely to be their toughest test so far, and the last meeting between the Iberian rivals saw Portugal win on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the final of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League in Germany.

7th July, 2026
Argentina vs Egypt (World Cup)

Argentina vs Egypt (World Cup)

Coverage of the seventh round-of-16 match, which takes place at Atlanta Stadium in the USA. Argentina were involved a remarkable last-16 match, edging past minnows Cape Verde 3-2 after extra-time, with the tournament debutantes making sure they would be remembered as one of the highlights of these finals. Egypt needed a penalty shootout to beat Australia in the last round, breaking new ground by winning a World Cup finals knockout match for the first time.

7th July, 2026
Switzerland vs Colombia (World Cup)

Switzerland vs Colombia (World Cup)

Coverage of the eighth round-of-16 match, which takes place at BC Place Vancouver in Canada. Switzerland had a game to forget at the corresponding stage of the 2022 World Cup when they were thrashed 6-1 by Portugal. However, they will be hopeful of a much stronger showing this time around, having topped a group containing Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar, before easing past Algeria 2-0 in the round of 32. Colombia have only scored five goals in their four matches, but that was enough for them to top their group and also beat Ghana 1-0 in the last round

9th July, 2026
France vs Morocco (World Cup)

France vs Morocco (World Cup)

Coverage of the first quarter-final, which takes place at Boston Stadium in the USA, and is a repeat of the 2022 semi-final. Morocco made it through thanks to a 3-0 victory against co-hosts Canada on Saturday, upping their game in the second half after a goalless first period, and proving that their progression at the World Cup in Qatar was no fluke. They do, however, have to find a way past the tournament favourites, who were relieved to edge past Paraguay in the last round, in a match in which the South Americans tested every ounce of patience that Les Bleus possessed, with just a Kylian Mbappe separating the sides.
