​This could be a banner sports weekend for England.But with the World Cup championship match and the final round of the British Open both being contested on the same day, it could potentially result in too much of a good thing.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementEngland’s national soccer team still needs one more win to reach the World Cup final, so the R&A hasn’t made any official contingency plans just yet … but tee times at Royal Birkdale could conceivably be moved up on Sunday, July 19 to avoid having the two sporting events going on at the same time.”I’m an England football fan, so it would be a great problem to have,” R&A CEO Mark Darbon said Wednesday, June 15. “But I guess also, because I’m an England football fan, we should also wait to see how the semifinal goes before we get too far ahead.”Of course in the background, we’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this.”The R&A expects the final putt on Sunday to drop at 6:40 p.m. local time (1:40 p.m. ET), which should leave enough room for a three-hole playoff to be completed in time for the start of the World Cup final, which is scheduled to start around 3 p.m. ET.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”At this stage, no plans to alter anything,” Darbon said, “but we’ll maintain that under review and finalize our position after the semifinal.”Scottie Scheffler, Sam Burns and Adrien Saddier converge on the second fairway during a practice round for The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.Spain will take on the winner of Wednesday’s England vs. Argentina match in the 2026 World Cup final.Date: Sunday, July 19Location: Met Life Stadium (East Rutherford, New Jersey)Time: 3 p.m. ETTV: FOX (English), Telemundo (Spanish)Streaming: Fubo (English), Peacock, Fubo (Spanish)Date: Sunday, July 19Location: Royal Birkdale Golf Club (Southport, England)TV:4-7 a.m ET: Open Championship (USA Network)7 a.m.-2 p.m ET: Open Championship (NBC/Peacock)Streaming: Fubo, PeacockThis article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Open Championship could move Sunday tee times to avoid World Cup overlap
