Co-op is extending online delivery hours at 180 stores during key international football fixtures, allowing fans to order food, beer and last-minute supplies right up until the final whistle – and beyond.

For some matches, deliveries will continue into the early hours of the morning. England supporters watching the clash against Panama will be able to place orders until 1am, while Scotland fans following their team’s match against Haiti can order until 3.30am.

The convenience giant estimates that around 40 million people live within reach of the participating stores, with locations spread across major cities including London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol, Brighton, Aberdeen and Glasgow.

The retailer expects demand to surge during the tournament, with previous sporting events triggering increases of up to 50% in rapid delivery orders as fans stock up before kick-off and replenish supplies during the action.

Co-op shoppers can also take advantage of one of the supermarket’s biggest football deals.

£5 Football Night Bundle – Co-op Members can get two selected stonebaked pizzas plus a pack of beer, 0% beer or soft drinks for just £5, saving up to £8.75.

How to get Co-op deliveries during the World Cup

The extended delivery service will be available through Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Amazon and Co-op’s own online shop, making it easier than ever for fans to keep match-night supplies flowing without missing a single moment of the action.

Some promotional products are expected to see sales jump by as much as 1,000% during peak match periods.

With late-night deliveries, football-friendly food deals and millions of supporters expected to tune in, Co-op is betting that this summer’s biggest football moments will be watched from home – with snacks arriving right up until extra time.

UK private school’s ‘outstanding’ headteacher is to retire

September 3, 2026

Helen Pike has decided to step down as Master of Magdalen College School at the end of the 2026/27 academic year, the school in east Oxford announced in March.

MCS is one of the top performing schools in the country, ranking in the top 20 independent secondary schools in The Sunday Times Parent Power Schools Guide 2026.

The new academic year will start next week, with Ms Pike preparing for one more year in charge before she hands over to her successor, who will take over in September 2027.

The first female Master at MCS, Ms Pike guided the board of governors to one of the most significant decisions in the school’s history, to become fully co-educational from 2027.

While there has been a co-educational sixth form at the school for 15 years, the school last month announced it will become fully co-educational over the coming decade.

Ms Pike said earlier: “I love MCS, and it is a perennial privilege to lead this remarkable school.

“Being Master of MCS is a brilliant job, and I am declaring my intention early in order to give MCS the very best opportunity to find the right Master for September 2027. I shall continue to do all in my power to further the fortunes of this wonderful school until then.

“I look forward to a new phase in my own professional life, one that builds on all that I have enjoyed and achieved in my career during the past 30 years.

“Having encouraged many cohorts of pupils to take sensible risks and to do something creative and different when the time feels right, I am doing just that.”

During Ms Pike’s tenure, MCS has been recognised as a Top 20 Independent School and South East School of the Year by the Sunday Times and won Independent School of the Year for Social Mobility.

Thanking her in his letter to the school community, chair of governors, Bob Price, said earlier this year: “Helen is an outstanding leader and will go with our sincere gratitude and warm thanks for her exceptional headship.

“She will leave the school in excellent shape for her successor.”

Recruitment for a replacement for Ms Pike is now under way.

Last month, Ms Pike congratulated pupils on their “outstanding success” in this year’s A-Level exams, after more than a quarter of pupils (43) achieved three A*s or more and 25 secured all A*s.

In total, 39 pupils from the 2026 cohort are heading to Oxbridge, while 22 have secured places to study medicine.

As part of the school’s expansion plans, MCS is preparing to build a new Science, Library and Partnerships building.

A spokeswoman said the new building will offer an exciting opportunity to reimagine the senior school site as staff look ahead to full co-education.

She added earlier: “With a vision to create a sector-leading science building in the centre of Oxford, the development will enable us to support an ambitious and forward-looking science curriculum, expanding to the emerging and rapidly advancing areas of robotics, AI and Big Data.”

Oxfordshire grandad with Just Stop Oil protestors glued to road

Published

Holding banners which read ‘For f**k’s sake, just stop oil’, the demonstrators took to the road in Parliament Square at noon today (Wednesday, September 2).

This was as Andy Burnham faced his first Prime Minister’s Questions, and many of the protestors glued themselves to the road.

The group demanded that the UK government stop approving all further oil and gas developments, and sign a Fossil Fuel Treaty to stop oil and gas extraction.

Just Stop Oil say that the police are expected to arrest all those blocking the road, and that one lane has been left free of glued-on action takers to permit access for emergency vehicles.

Andy Burnham is due to make a decision on whether to allow more drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea.

Reverend James Crote, a Baptist Minister and grandfather from Chesterton near Bicester, said: “Today is my grandson’s first birthday. I have to take action for the sake of his future.

The 69-year-old added: “The government has been dilly-dallying about whether to say yes or no to the Rosebank oil field but, if we want a future for our children, there is no choice – it has to say ‘no’.

“I am here as a Christian Minister because the Church has to speak out and demand that the government stops approving further oil and gas developments now. It’s time for us all to say ‘For God’s sake, Just Stop Oil’.”

Data from the Met Office indicates that 2026 was the hottest summer in UK recorded history, beating 2025, which was the previous hottest summer on record.

2026 was also one of the driest summers on record, delivering record-low food harvests.

Climbing temperatures have triggered wildfires across the country, and national fire chiefs said the wildfire risk facing the UK is “like nothing we have seen before”.

Taking action, grandmother Victoria Ann Lynch-Staunton from Leamington Spa, said: “What is happening is beyond a tragedy.”

The 71-year-old added: “I beg everyone to join Just Stop Oil or governments will continue to prioritise endless growth and corporate profit over billions of lives – yours and your children.

“Wake up and smell the coffin. It is the responsibility of all of us to act now!”

A Just Stop Oil spokesperson said today: “We are all Just Stop Oil.

“Every single person who fears deadly wildfires, devastating droughts, and spiralling food shortages is Just Stop Oil.

“The first duty of government is to keep the public safe – but by greenlighting oil and gas drilling, they endanger our survival while corporates and billionaires laugh their way to the bank.

“Every one of us feels alone and powerless in the face of this insanity, but we know there is massive political and public support for our demand.

“So we’re inviting everyone to join us at an online call on 3rd October 2026 – because it’s when we work together that we are powerful and win.”
