England vs Mexico World Cup 2026: Weather delays, team news

England and Mexico collide tonight with a place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup on the line at the Azteca Stadium. Thomas Tuchel's side have navigated the group stages and came from behind to beat DR Congo midweek. But at over 2,000 meters above sea level, they face their toughest test yet against co-hosts Mexico, who have not conceded a goal in the tournament.

Three changes to England starting XI

Bukayo Saka, Anthony Gordon and Jarell Quansah are expected to start for the Three Lions, according to early team news. Thomas Tuchel is set to make three changes to the lineup that faced DR Congo.

Weather delay threat

Severe weather is looming over Mexico City. The Azteca Stadium has issued a shelter-in-place order due to heavy rain and lightning in the area. Kick-off is scheduled for 1am BST, but that could be delayed. FIFA will provide official updates as the situation develops.
