England are bidding to reach the World Cup quarter-finals for a third successive tournament but must first get past Mexico in the round of 16. The match takes place at the Azteca Stadium on Sunday, July 5, 2026, at 10pm UK time.
Who Could England Play in the Quarter-Finals?
If England knock out joint hosts Mexico, they will face the winner of Brazil's match against Norway. Brazil topped Group C unbeaten and then sent Japan home, while Norway finished second in Group I before defeating Ivory Coast in the round of 32.
Brazil play Norway at 9pm in New Jersey, four hours before England's kick-off, meaning Thomas Tuchel's men will know their potential quarter-final opponent before they take the pitch.
