THE World Cup 2026 qualifying draw is taking place TODAY - and you can watch it for FREE.
The draw - which is for the European section of qualification - will not be broadcast live in the UK but that does not mean that England fans will miss any of the action.
SunSport will live blog the draw as it happens but anyone with a decent internet connection will also be able to stream it.
New England boss Thomas Tuchel - who officially starts his new role on January 1 - will be watching with a keen eye.
Here's how to follow the 54-team draw from Fifa HQ in Zurich, Switzerland, as it happens.
In the UK, the draw will be shown for free on England's own YouTube channel, the BBC Sport website and the Fifa website.
Anyone can watch on the YouTube channel, although to watch on the BBC website you will need to have a TV licence.
The 2026 World Cup qualification draw takes place on Friday, December 13 at approximately 11am GMT (12pm CET).
However, Fifa usually like to also spend a while introducing guests and giving speeches so names may not be pulled out of the pot until closer to 11.30am GMT.
There are 54 teams in the European section of the draw with Russia suspended from entering the competition due to the invasion of Ukraine.
Teams are seeded into five pots, with pots one to four containing 12 teams and pot five with six teams.
They will be drawn into 12 groups - six groups of four (A-F) and six groups of five (G-L)
Those drawn in the five-team groups will begin their qualification campaigns in March 2025, while those in four-team groups will start their campaign in September 2025.
Because of the Nations League - which also plays matches in March - five-team groups can only contain one team participating in those March matches.
The other four teams will then play among themselves during that international break.
The draw will start with Pot 1 and finish with Pot 5 - a team will be drawn and assigned to the first available group.
There are certain restrictions that will be applied to the draw, firstly due to the Nations League, which means certain teams cannot be drawn into certain groups due to scheduling conflicts.
Other restrictions include teams that cannot be drawn together for political reasons - Kosovo and Serbia, for example - and only two teams with medium/high risk of severe winter conditions can be drawn together.
Certain teams, such as Kazakhstan, cannot be drawn with multiple teams if the travel is deemed to excessive.
The Three Lions are in Pot 1 due to their excellent performances in recent major tournaments.
That means Tuchel and Co will not face the likes of Spain, France, Germany and other European heavyweights.
Pot 2 contains the likes of Ukraine, Sweden and Turkey, while there is the potential for local derbies against any of the other home nations.
Wales are in Pot 2, while Scotland, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are all in Pot 3.
Pot Two: Ukraine, Sweden, Turkey, Wales, Hungary, Serbia, Poland, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Norway.
Pot Three: Scotland, Slovenia, Republic of Ireland, Albania, North Macedonia, Georgia, Finland, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Israel.
Pot Four: Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Kosovo, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Cyprus, Faroe Islands, Latvia, Lithuania.
