England's next Euro 2024 game is once again set to be shown on big screens at St Mary's.
The home of Southampton Football Club will be showcasing the Three Lions' Euros campaign with two "massive screens" and next up is in-form Switzerland in Dusseldorf on Saturday at 5pm.
Having topped Group C, England came from behind to knock out Slovakia in the round of 16 thanks to Jude Bellingham’s last-gasp equaliser and Harry Kane’s extra-time winner.
Switzerland are one of the tournament’s form sides, having knocked out Italy, the defending champions, last weekend.

Critically acclaimed musical parody Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch is set to captivate audiences in Southampton this weekend.
With an original hot pop soundtrack and trademark filthy humour, the show follows Disney Diva Ursula as she gives her take on what really happened all those years ago under the sea.
Unfortunate tours off the back of a phenomenal 10-week London run, with rave reviews and six Off West End Theatre Award nominations – one of the highest for any show in the past year.
Audiences can catch Unfortunate at Mayflower Theatre on Saturday and Sunday, starring Shawna Hamic of Orange is the New Black fame.
