THIS IS HUGE 🍻
Pubs in England and Wales will now be allowed to stay open until 5am on Monday so supporters can watch England's World Cup last-16 clash against Mexico all the way to the final whistle.
The match kicks off at 1am UK time in Mexico City and isn't expected to finish until after 3am.
The government had initially said it would not extend licensing hours any further for the tournament, before reversing the decision on Thursday.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: "Football might be coming home but we're making sure fans don't have to."
The extended hours mean fans can watch the game in their local without pubs needing to apply for a temporary licence extension.
