THIS IS HUGE 🍻⁠
⁠
Pubs in England and Wales will now be allowed to stay open until 5am on Monday so supporters can watch England's World Cup last-16 clash against Mexico all the way to the final whistle.⁠
⁠
The match kicks off at 1am UK time in Mexico City and isn't expected to finish until after 3am.⁠
⁠
The government had initially said it would not extend licensing hours any further for the tournament, before reversing the decision on Thursday.⁠
⁠
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: "Football might be coming home but we're making sure fans don't have to."⁠
⁠
The extended hours mean fans can watch the game in their local without pubs needing to apply for a temporary licence extension.⁠
