Mexico vs. England: How to watch, date, time, live stream and TV channel for World Cup 2026 round of 16 game

England can book their place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Monday if they get the better of Mexico at the Azteca.

Thomas Tuchel will worry about his Three Lions side given they needed to come from behind to beat Congo DR 2-1 in the round of 32, whereas Mexico beat Ecuador 2-0 in the previous round and have been very impressive so far.

Here, Sports Mole provides all you need to know about how to watch Mexico take on England at the World Cup.

What time does Mexico vs. England kick off?

This match kicks off at 1am on Monday, July 6 for viewers in the UK.

Where is Mexico vs. England being played?

England will travel to Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, a ground with a capacity of 87,523.

Perhaps the biggest problem for England will be preparing for the altitude considering the ground is 7,220 feet (2,240m) above sea level, which could impact physical performance.

Online streaming

Alternatively, the game can be streamed live via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport Online service.

Highlights

Highlights will also be uploaded to the BBC Football YouTube channel, while the official FIFA World Cup TikTok account will be posting highlights from every match at this summer's tournament.

What is at stake for Mexico and England?

The end of the group stage has ramped up the intensity of the World Cup significantly, with even a single mistake a potentially fatal one.

England needed Harry Kane to produce two moments of magic late on against Congo DR to avoid elimination in the round of 32, and their performances have been far from convincing this summer.

Mexico have been one of the standout teams at the World Cup, winning all four of their games without conceding a goal.

Backed by a home crowd, it is easy to see how they might start quickly against England, but the Three Lions have the quality necessary to create chances.

Tuchel will be expected to guide England to the quarter-finals irrespective of the altitude and atmosphere at the Azteca, and anything other than progression will be seen as failure.
