What TV channel is Belgium v Canada World Cup game on? Kick-off time, live stream info and team news

Belgium's clash with Canada at the World Cup rounds off day four of the tournament in Qatar on Wednesday evening.

The two sides lock horns in Group F at 7pm UK time on November 23, with the game being broadcast live on BBC One and live streaming available via iPlayer. Gary Lineker will be presenting the coverage.

At the last World Cup, Belgium beat England to take third place. Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard scored seven of Belgium's 14 goals in Russia, but the former will miss Wednesday's match through injury, while the latter has struggled with form since he traded Chelsea for Real Madrid.

Manager Roberto Martinez is hopeful Lukaku, who is battling a hamstring problem, could return for his side's second match against Morocco and he also believes a change of scenery will benefit Hazard.

Canada, meanwhile, are back on football's grandest stage for only the second time in their history, and first in 36 years. And manager John Herdman, from Consett, County Durham, is the man who has overseen their comeback. Herdman worked at Sunderland's Academy before he moved to New Zealand in 2001. He landed the New Zealand Women national job - taking them to two World Cups in 2007 and 2011 - before accepting the same post with Canada.

After seven years, one World Cup and bronze medals at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, Herdman took charge of Canada's men's set-up, guiding them to Qatar and becoming the first manager to lead both women's and men's national teams to World Cup qualification.

As well as 2018 semi-finalists Belgium, Croatia and Morocco are Canada's group opponents.
