ITV’s complete line-up of commentators, pundits and presenters for Australia vs Turkey in Group D at the World Cup 2026
The game will kick off at 5AM UK time, making it possible for only the most hardcore of British football fans to watch the Group D showdown.
British viewers will be able to watch the ITV broadcast for the match, presented by Laura Woods who is joined by two footballing legends as pundits.
It wouldn’t be right for Britain to broadcast an Australia World Cup showdown without one of their most beloved Aussies in attendance, and Ange Postecoglou has obliged.
The ex-Tottenham Hotspur boss, who oversaw the breaking of a prolonged trophy drought for Spurs with a Europa League final victory over Manchester United, will work alongside Woods as a pundit for the broadcast.
Speaking of London sides and the Red Devils, another footballing legend who played for both will join Postecoglou for the ITV event.
Juan Mata, who gave 11 years of his playing career to Chelsea and Manchester United in the Premier League, will also offer his punditry services.
On commentary, Joe Speight will serve as the main voice for Australia vs Turkey, and is joined by Lucy Ward as his co-commentator.
Ward, an ex-professional player, has a prolonged career as a broadcaster at international events, dating all the way back to 2007 when she covered the Women’s World Cup in China.
