Editing England national football team (section)

===Media coverage===
All England matches are broadcast with full commentary on [[talkSPORT]] and [[BBC Radio 5 Live]]. From the [[2008–09 in English football|2008–09]] season until the 2017–18 season, England's home and away qualifiers, and friendlies both home and away were broadcast live on [[ITV Sport]] (often with the exception of [[STV (TV network)|STV]], the ITV franchisee in central and northern Scotland). England's away qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup were shown on [[Setanta Sports]] until that company's collapse. As a result of Setanta Sports's demise, England's World Cup qualifier in Ukraine on 10 October 2009 was shown in the United Kingdom on a pay-per-view basis via the internet only. This one-off event was the first time an England game had been screened in such a way. The number of subscribers, paying between £4.99 and £11.99 each, was estimated at between 250,000 and 300,000 and the total number of viewers at around 500,000.<ref>{{cite news |title=Meltdown averted as England match draws online audience of 500,000 |newspaper=The Guardian |date=11 October 2009 |last=Gibson |first=Owen |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/oct/11/england-ukraine-internet-viewing-figures |access-date=23 February 2010 |location=London |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808042823/http://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/oct/11/england-ukraine-internet-viewing-figures |archive-date=8 August 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2018, [[Sky Sports]] broadcast the England UEFA Nations League and in-season friendlies, until 2021 and [[ITV Sport]] broadcast the European qualifiers for Euro-World Cups and pre-tournament friendlies (after the Nations League group matches end), until 2022.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefa.com/news/2017/jan/26/260117-england-uefa-broadcast-2018-2022-itv-sky|title=England matches to be broadcast by ITV and Sky Sports|last=Association|first=The Football|publisher=The Football Association|language=en|access-date=19 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171224064012/http://www.thefa.com/news/2017/jan/26/260117-england-uefa-broadcast-2018-2022-itv-sky|archive-date=24 December 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> In April 2022, [[Channel 4]] won the rights for England matches until June 2024, including [[2022–23 UEFA Nations League]] matches, [[UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying|Euro 2024 qualifying]] games, and friendlies. 2022 World Cup rights remained with the BBC and ITV.<ref>{{cite web |author=Dom Smith |url=https://englandfootball.org/2022/04/30/channel-4s-england-deal-is-a-victory-for-those-who-too-often-lose/ |title=Channel 4's England Deal Is a Victory for Those Who Too Often Lose |publisher=Englandfootball.org |date=30 April 2022 |access-date=5 May 2022 |archive-date=30 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220430010540/https://englandfootball.org/2022/04/30/channel-4s-england-deal-is-a-victory-for-those-who-too-often-lose/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
