If you're watching the World Cup 2022 game between Japan and Spain and are wondering who the ITV commentators are, we've got you covered.

Clive Tyldesley and Ally McCoist are behind the mic for this Group E encounter.

Tyldesley was ITV's lead commentator between 1998 and 2020, until he was succeeded in that role by Sam Matterface. The 68-year-old, who previously worked at BBC Sport and is now at CBS Sports, is back at ITV to commentate on his fifth World Cup.

McCoist is a former Rangers and Scotland striker, who won 10 Scottish Premier League titles at the Ibrox club and scored 19 times in 61 appearances for his country. He also works as a pundit on radio station talkSPORT.
