Italy take on Argentina at 7am before Germany clashes with Morocco at 9.30am. Rounding off a morning of football is an afternoon kick-off of 12pm between Brazil and Panama.
This means Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will all be missing from the TV schedule.
ITV came under fire on Friday when Good Morning Britain was taken off air to make way for Philippines v Switzerland.
One tweeted: "Football instead of GMB? My day has started badly @susannareid100 @benshephard but I bet you're having a great one #GMB #dayoff," and another wrote: "Not only is GMB not on today, but it won't be back on until next Thursday... Thursday's show will end early at 8am, then things will be back to normal on Friday. #GMB."
"After #GMB's non England football game replacement and before #Lorraine.. ITV have 'blessed' us with a f***n repeat of #TheChase... Meanwhile on ITV2, 'world's s*****s videos' and Dawson's Creek," a third raged.
A fourth quipped: "Seriously!! Women’s f***ing football instead? Phillipines v Switzerland? Stick it on ITV4 ffs #gmb," while another asked: "Where is @GMB This Morning? Never known it to be off before for Football World Cup #gmb #football."
Meanwhile, over on BBC One, BBC Breakfast was disrupted from its normal schedule earlier this week as coverage of New Zealand v Norway took priority on Thursday.
However, viewers were able to watch Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt discuss the topics of the day over on BBC Two.
