Coverage begins at 9:15pm ahead of kick-off at 10:00pm, so let’s find out who’ll be on hand in ITV’s studio in Brooklyn with all you need to know about the France vs Sweden pundits, commentators and presenters.
ITV commentators, presenters and pundits for France vs Sweden
Your presenter in Brooklyn tonight will be Mark Pougatch, whose hand at the tiller will steer the studio panel through pre-match as the teams prepare to get underway at New York New Jersey Stadium.
The familiar face and voice of ITV regular Gary Neville will be with him to run the rule over one of three all-UEFA matches in the World Cup second round.

Neville will be flanked by a double dose of nineties Arsenal, and what a dose!
Ian Wright scored 128 First Division and Premier League goals for the Gunners between 1991 and 1998, helping the North Londoners to a domestic cup double in 1992-93 and a league and FA Cup double in 1997-98.
The beloved former striker warranted many more England caps than he actually received. He scored nine times in 33 senior appearances for the Three Lions.
One of Manchester United’s chief antagonists in Wright’s latter days at Highbury and beyond was French midfielder Patrick Vieira.
He won the Premier League three ties as an Arsenal player and was a key contributor as France won the World Cup in 1998 and the European Championship in 2000.
ITV’s live commentary from New Jersey will be provided by the legendary Jon Champion and his regular co-commentator, former Scotland and Rangers striker Ally McCoist.
McCoist ended a storied career with 19 international goals and 10 league titles to his name.
Will Mbappe and Dembele stay among the goals? Let us know your prediction…
