The Mexican national team will play England next Sunday at Estadio Ciudad de México in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup.
England and Mexico will meet on July 5 at 18:00 hours at Estadio Ciudad de México. The match will determine which team advances to the quarterfinals.
England captain Harry Kane said the game will be one of the biggest challenges of the tournament. “Mexico in their country is as big as it can be inside the World Cup, the atmosphere will be incredible, but difficult”, he said after his team's win over the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Coach Thomas Tuchel highlighted Mexico City's altitude as an obstacle. “It is impossible to adapt physically to it in just four days”, he stated. The teams have met on nine previous occasions, with Mexico unbeaten at home.
