Pubs in England and Wales will now be allowed to stay open until 5am on Monday, after the end of England’s World Cup match against Mexico.
The round-of-16 match in Mexico City kicks off at 1am UK time.
The government had initially said it would not relax licensing laws further than they already have been for the World Cup.
But Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Thursday afternoon that pubs could stay open until the final whistle.
