The Three Lions seek to lift the doom and gloom after Wednesday's heartbreaking semi-final defeat at the hands of Argentina.
Fingers have been pointed at manager Thomas Tuchel in the aftermath and you feel he needs a response from his players in Miami.
Saturday's game marks the end of an era for France. Didier Deschamps' 14-year spell in charge of Les Bleus, which included the 2018 World Cup win, will come to an end.
Zinedine Zidane is lined up as his replacement but the players will want to give Deschamps a winning send-off.
Both managers may look to rotate but you'd expect Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham to make an appearance – with the trio all part of the Golden Boot race.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch France v England on TV and online.
