Mexico will host England in a blockbuster Round of 16 clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Monday, July 6, at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Australian referee Alireza Faghani will oversee the encounter as both unbeaten sides compete for a place in the quarterfinals.
Mexico has enjoyed a flawless campaign so far, winning all four of its matches without conceding a goal. England has also remained unbeaten under Thomas Tuchel, collecting three wins and one draw while scoring eight goals and conceding three. Both teams have displayed quality throughout the tournament and will look to continue their impressive runs.
England holds the historical advantage after winning both previous meetings between the two nations. Their only FIFA World Cup encounter came in 1966, when the Three Lions secured a 2-0 victory in the group stage. Mexico now hopes to earn its first victory over England and delight the home crowd by reaching the quarterfinals.
