It's less than two weeks until the World Cup kicks off in North America, and no doubt you've started thinking about where best to enjoy the games.

Thankfully, Stockport County has revealed that Edgeley Park will be hosting a massive World Cup fan zone - the biggest in Stockport.

Taking place outdoors in the County Courtyard, it will give fans the chance to watch every England group-stage fixture in a large-scale live event setting.

And should England progress beyond the group stages, the fan zone will also host knockout stage games, too.

There will be 12 big screens, live entertainment, American, Mexican and Canadian street food, and multiple bars.

There will even be blankets available for when the sun dips and those late fixtures play out.

The zone will be open from 6pm until midnight for every group stage fixture.

Tickets are available for £5 for each game - find tickets and more information here.

Knockout stage fixtures will be £10, with times to be confirmed.

England's first game is on Wednesday 17 June, when we face Croatia in the Group Stage.

The next games are 23 June against Ghana, and 27 June against Panama.

The tournament's first game is Mexico vs South Africa on 11 June at 8pm.

As of time of writing, France and Spain are favourites to win, with odds at 9/2 each.

England aren't too far behind, at 13/2.
