ITV confirms that it will show England's Euro 2020 semi-final with Denmark on Wednesday night.

ITV has confirmed that it will broadcast England's Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark on Wednesday night.

Gareth Southgate's side booked their place in the last four courtesy of a 4-0 victory over Ukraine last night, with a peak of over 21 million viewers tuning in to the BBC's coverage.

The BBC had first pick of the quarter-final matches, with ITV getting first stab at the semis, and unsurprisingly the broadcaster has chosen the England game, which will kick off at 8pm at Wembley.

As a result BBC One will be showing the other semi-final match, Italy taking on Spain, on Tuesday night.

The news means that ITV's soaps - Emmerdale and Coronation Street - will now air on Tuesday night instead of Wednesday, with hour-long specials being shown from 8pm.

Under the terms of their broadcast arrangement, both the BBC and ITV will air next Sunday's final.
