England take on Norway in Miami tonight for a place in the World Cup 2026 semi-finals. The Three Lions are slight favourites to advance, where holders Argentina or Switzerland await in Atlanta.
Match Preview
England come into the quarter-final after a convincing last-16 win over Mexico at the Estadio Azteca, improving after inconsistent group-stage performances. Norway, meanwhile, caused a major upset by eliminating Brazil in the last 16, reaching their first World Cup quarter-final.
This is the first World Cup meeting between the two nations. Norway's squad features Premier League stars Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard, while England rely on Declan Rice and Marc Guehi, both expected to start despite fitness concerns. Reece James returns to provide cover at right-back after Jarell Quansah's suspension for a red card against Mexico.
Team News and Lineups
Thomas Tuchel is expected to name a strong lineup, with Harry Kane leading the attack. Norway will look to Haaland for goals. Kick-off is at 10pm BST at Miami Stadium.
