ITV have reportedly won back the rights to show England men’s matches.
The broadcaster is understood to have agreed a four-year deal to take over the responsibility from Channel 4.

ITV will take over the rights when Channel 4’s agreement ends in 2024, according to the Daily Mail.
The broadcaster will show all the men’s matches outside of the major tournaments such as the World Cup and Euros.
The channel is no stranger to showing England matches having shared the coverage with Sky Sports until last year.
Channel 4 then took the rights for the Nations League and European Qualifiers until Euro 2024.
When Euro 2024 starts ITV will share the coverage rights with the BBC as they usually do for major tournaments.
The report claims that the move has been “hailed” by bosses at the broadcaster.
Coverage will include Jude Bellingham and Co trying to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the USA, Mexico and Canada.
Qualification for Euro 2028 will also be shown.

The Three Lions have been in fine form and look set to qualify for Euro 2024 in Germany next year.
Gareth Southgate‘s side have won four from their opening five qualifiers leaving them top of the group.
Last time out England were held to a 1-1 draw by third-placed Ukraine.
During Channel 4’s coverage of the match fans were left fuming as a technical blunder left them watching a black screen.
England followed up that result with a 3-1 win over Scotland in a friendly match at Hampden Park.
