Published July 5, 2026 · Updated July 6, 2026 · Fox Sports

The 2026 FIFA World Cup round‑of‑16 match between England and Mexico at Mexico City Stadium is now set to start at 9 p.m. ET, one hour later than originally planned.

The kickoff of the England‑Mexico round‑of‑16 World Cup match at Mexico City Stadium has been pushed back an hour to 9 p.m. ET because of extreme weather conditions in the surrounding area. saltysenoritaaz.com

This is the second weather‑induced delay at the venue; a thunder‑and‑lightning delay earlier this week pushed the Mexico‑Ecuador round‑of‑32 match to 9 p.m. ET. England, the odds‑favored side, will face Mexico on Sunday, July 5, on FOX and FOX One.
