Germany will be expecting to make a winning start to the tournament when they play debutants Curacao in their Group E opener.
Four-time World Cup winners Germany were surprisingly knocked out at the group stages in 2018 and 2022, but should take a huge step towards the last 32 with a big victory over a Curacao side making history by appearing on the global stage for the very first time.
Germany v Curacao will be available to watch live in the UK on ITV 1 and STV.
Eligible customers in the UK, Ireland, Greece, Netherlands and Australia will also be able to bet on and watch the World Cup at bet365.
Germany v Curacao will be played at the Houston Stadium and kick-off is at 18:00 BST on Sunday 14th June.
This is the first competitive meeting between Germany and Curacao.
