Pubs across Gedling borough will be allowed to stay open after hours on Sunday night in case the Euros final goes to extra time.
The plans were confirmed yesterday by Downing Street.
Boris Johnson has signed off the plans to allow a 45-minute grace period so drinkers aren’t kicked out before the end of the match.
All pubs in England will be able to stay open until 11.15pm on Sunday, after the prime minister allowed a one-off extension to licensing laws.
It is believed this will still go ahead regardless of whether England beats Denmark tonight and makes it to the final.
An emergency law change was put to the Commons on Tuesday morning to legally allow pubs to stay open beyond the usual 10.30pm closing time.
A No 10 source told The Sun: ‘As the entire nation comes together to enjoy the Euros final on Sunday, we’re putting extra time on licenses so fans can watch the whole game without fear of being kicked out before it’s over.
‘And we’re backing England to make it there.’
