19:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Belgium v Egypt (Kick-off 8.00pm). Peter Collins presents as Group G gets under way with this fixture at Seattle Stadium in the USA, between two sides who will expect to progress to the knockout stages of the expanded competition. Iran and New Zealand are the other nations in this group and, while Belgium may seem to be a little past their best, following the relative failures of their 'Golden Generation', they still possess a squad that can compare with most of the entrants. The vast majority of the Egyptian squad ply their trade in their homeland, but two notable exceptions to that can be found in their attacking threat, in Liverpool's Mo Salah, and Omar Marmoush of Manchester City. Salah made his full international debut as far back as 2011, and scored twice at the 2018 World Cup and, despite his form and fortunes waning for his club this season, he still remains the dangerman as far as the Belgian defence is concerned |
| 22:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Saudi Arabia v Uruguay (Kick-off 11.00pm). All the action from both teams' first match in Group H, held at Miami Stadium in the USA. The Saudis caused an upset against South American opposition in their opener four years ago in Qatar when they prevailed 2-1 against eventual champions Argentina, but defeats at the hands of Poland and Mexico ensured that 1994 remained the only time they had progressed beyond the group stage, when the tournament was also held in the USA. Uruguay lifted the trophy in 1930 and 1950, but their run of three consecutive appearances in the knockout stage came to an end in 2022, when they failed to make it out of a group containing Portugal, South Korea and Ghana. The sides also met in the group stage of the 2018 tournament, when a goal by Luis Suarez gave the Uruguayans a 1-0 win | |

| 21:00 | Britain's Railway Empire in Colour | To mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of rail, this series reveals the story of how Britain gave railways to the world - from the first tentative experiments with steam power, through the domestic boom years, to the exporting of this transformative new technology to all corners of the globe. Experts and enthusiasts and extensive newly colourised archive explore the truly revolutionary nature - both good and bad - of the locomotive. The first episode tracks how the railways grew from coal trucks in the north-east of England to transforming the lives of the Victorians. Trainspotter Francis Bourgeois tells the story of his 19th-century equivalent, schoolboy George Tod, who took stunning black and white photographs of his favourite engines. These and other photographs have been colourised, bringing the old railways back to life. There are also stories from the Empire as well as narratives from closer to home, including the magnificent Forth Bridge | |
