To grab the freebie punters will need to turn up wearing either the England kit, England colours or England face paint.
They’ll then receive a free drink to enjoy during the game.
The offer will be live between 11am and 2pm on Sunday, August 20.
Customers can choose one free drink from a wide selection of options, including cask ales, lagers, craft beers, wines, spirits, and mixers.
Punters will be able to pick from six types of cask ale including Green Kine IPA, Old Speckled Hen and Yardbird.
Or if they fancy a lager, some of the chain’s biggest bars have over 14 different types on tap including Beavertown Neck Oil, Bierra Moretti and Estrella Damm.
Ciders on offer include Strongbow Dark Fruits, Thatchers Gold and Aspall.
Wine drinkers are also able to choose between a glass of white, red and rose.

And if you’re after a free G&T or vodka and tonic you’ll get a single measure and a mixer included too.
Michelle West, head of sport marketing for Greene King said: “The team has performed incredibly over the course of the tournament, and we’re so excited for the final against Spain this Sunday.
“This is the first time any England football team has been in a World Cup final since 1966 so we want to throw the ultimate celebration in all of our 900+ Sport pubs.
“We’re asking fans to head to their local Greene King Sports pub and show their colours in support of the team, literally – all you need to do is wear England colours, kit or face paint and you can grab yourself a free drink.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to get behind the team and continue to boost the profile of women’s sport in the UK, so join us for the ultimate party this weekend.”
Punters can check where their nearest Greene King sports bar is by using the locator tool on the chain’s website.
The offer comes after the Lionesses roared into the final after beating hosts Australia 3-1 in Wednesday’s semi-final thanks to goals from Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo.
Tomorrow’s final against Spain will represent the first time an England side has made a World Cup final since 1966 – and the Lionesses will be hoping it will be the first time an England side has won a World Cup trophy since then too.
