Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove said it was the biggest game since 1966 but pubs could still face problems opening early.
England’s women will play Spain at 11am on Sunday in their first World Cup final after beating hosts Australia on Wednesday.
Instead, the Government is urging local councils and police chiefs to do what they can to approve extensions. In cases where an application is being rapidly considered to allow a short extension to licensing hours, the Government is encouraging local authorities to continue to do everything they can to complete the process in time, working closely with local police forces.
A Local Government Association spokeswoman said: “Councils up and down the country are flying flags, lighting up buildings and hosting free screenings of the game on Sunday to mark this historic and exciting occasion. The BBPA also called on the Government to allow all pubs to provide full service from 10am, warning that starting alcohol sales at 11am could lead to large queues and disruption as the game kicks off.
