England vs France free bets: Best promos for tonight’s World Cup third-place match
Posted on
England’s World Cup campaign may have fallen agonisingly short of the final, but there is still one last match to play as Thomas Tuchel’s side take on France in Saturday’s third-place play-off at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
England suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Argentina after conceding twice in the closing minutes of the semi-final, while Didier Deschamps’ final game in charge of France comes against England, after a 2-0 loss to Spain. Individual honours are also on the line, with Kylian Mbappe very much in the running for a second successive World Cup Golden Boot.
If you’re planning to bet on France vs England, several bookmakers are offering welcome bonuses for new customers. Here are three of the best available.
New customers only. Register, deposit with Debit Card, and place first bet £10+ at Evens (2.0)+ on Sports within 7 days to get 3 x £10 in Sports Free Bets & 2 x £10 in Acca Free Bets within 10 hours of settlement. 7-day expiry. Eligibility exclusions & T&Cs Apply.

Betfred: Bet £10 Get £50 in free bets
Betfred heads our list with the biggest welcome package currently available for the third-place play-off. New customers who register, deposit and place a qualifying £10 bet will receive £50 in free bets once that wager has settled.
That gives you plenty of flexibility for the remainder of the World Cup, allowing you to spread your free bets across Saturday’s third-place play-off and Sunday’s final if you prefer.
England suffered heartbreak against Argentina after conceding twice in the closing minutes of their semi-final, while France were comfortably beaten 2-0 by Spain. Both teams will be desperate to end their campaigns on a positive note, making this an intriguing fixture despite the disappointment of missing out on the final.
BetMGM: Bet £10 Get £40 in free bets
BetMGM’s welcome offer is another strong option for new customers, rewarding a qualifying £10 bet with £40 in free bets after settlement.
The bonus is split into four £10 free bets, including two standard sports free bets and two bet builder free bets, making it particularly appealing if you enjoy creating your own combinations for football matches.
This could be a good game for a bet builder too. Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane are both chasing the Golden Boot, while Jude Bellingham has already scored six goals at this tournament and remains England’s biggest midfield threat. With both sides expected to attack in a match where there is little pressure compared to a final, bet builders involving goals, shots and player markets could prove popular.
Ladbrokes: Bet £5 Get £30 in free bets

Ladbrokes requires the lowest qualifying stake of the three featured bookmakers, with new customers only needing to place a £5 qualifying bet to receive £30 in free bets.
The bonus is paid as six £5 free bets, making it ideal for bettors who prefer to spread their stakes across multiple selections rather than using one larger free bet.
France are slight favourites with most bookmakers after conceding just four goals throughout the tournament, although England have shown throughout the knockout rounds that they are capable of causing any defence problems through Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. With both teams having lost only once in the competition before the semi-finals, this should still be a competitive contest despite the bronze medals being the only prize on offer.
Which England vs France betting offer is best?
The right offer depends on what you’re looking for. If maximising free bet value is your priority, Betfred’s £50 package is currently the standout choice. BetMGM’s £40 offer is particularly attractive for football fans who regularly use bet builders, while Ladbrokes appeals thanks to its lower £5 qualifying bet, making it the cheapest way to unlock a useful free bet package.
Whichever bookmaker you choose, remember that these are all betting sign up offers, so you’ll only be eligible if you don’t already have an account with that operator. If you’ve previously signed up with one bookmaker, simply choose one of the others instead.
While some bookmakers have reduced the generosity of their promotions for this weekend’s third-place play-off, the offers above continue to provide excellent value for anyone opening a new betting account before kick-off.
