ITV Sport 'to air England's Euro 2016, World Cup 2018 qualifiers'

ITV Sport 'secure England rights'

ITV Sport have reportedly sealed the rights to broadcast England's qualifying matches for Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup live.

The move is thought to be part of UEFA's new strategy of selling European football centrally, which will give ITV the rights to show England matches live home and away.

The broadcasters have signed a four-year deal, which will kick in from September, while Sky Sports will air matches for the other home nations - Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, according to the Daily Mail.

Sky, who will also broadcast the Republic of Ireland's matches, will share live away England games if they face any of the other home nations.
