Mexico v England: World Cup 2026 team news and predicted line-ups

Thomas Tuchel must choose between several right-back options as Reece James and Jarell Quansah race to recover for England’s last-16 tie.

  • On Monday, July 6, 2026, England faces co-hosts Mexico in a World Cup last-16 clash at Estadio Azteca, with the match kicking off at 1 AM BST and venues across England and Wales permitted to stay open until 5 AM.
  • Seeking balance in their preparation, the squad flew to Mexico City one night earlier than usual, as England manager Thomas Tuchel acknowledged the significant challenge of playing 2,240 meters above sea level.
  • Right-Back options Reece James and Jarell Quansah remain doubtful due to injuries, and Tuchel may deploy Djed Spence or shift Ezri Konsa if neither recovers for the match.
  • Following England's 2-1 victory over the Democratic Republic of Congo, ticket prices for the knockout fixture have surged up to $36,000, rivaling the most expensive matches in tournament history.
  • Returning to Azteca Stadium for the first time since succumbing to Diego Maradona's "Hand of God," the squad continues their bid for a first World Cup title in 60 years at the iconic Mexico City venue.
