England‑Mexico World Cup Match Delayed by Weather

The 2026 FIFA World Cup round‑of‑16 match between England and Mexico at Mexico City Stadium has been delayed by an hour, now starting at 9 p.m. ET after extreme weather.

The match, originally scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, is now set for 9 p.m. ET because of severe weather around the Mexico City Stadium. This is the second time the venue has seen a post‑match delay due to weather, following a thunder and lightning‑induced hour‑later start for Mexico’s 2‑0 win over Ecuador.

England, with odds of -140, is favoured to advance after reaching the round of 16 in both of the last two men's World Cups, while Mexico failed to progress past the first round in 2022. The game will be broadcast on FOX and FOX One on Sunday, July 5. djcc.club
