Ghana and Panama start their World Cup adventures in Toronto in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The two teams will be looking to get points on the board ahead of tricky ties against England and Croatia so the clash could prove key to their hopes of progressing from Group L.
Ghana, featuring at their fifth World Cup, boast a number of familiar faces in their squad, including Man City live wire Antoine Semenyo, who finished third in the Premier League golden boot standings with 17 goals last term.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s former assistant at Manchester United, Carlos Queiroz, is in charge of the Black Stars after replacing Otto Addo in April.
Panama, under the guidance of ex-Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen, will be hoping their second World Cup appearance is more successful than their first after losing all three of their group games in 2018.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Ghana v Panama on TV and online.
