Multiple reports say England’s World Cup last-16 match against Mexico is set to be moved to an earlier kick-off time. The game was originally scheduled for 6 p.m. local time, which corresponds to 1 a.m. GMT. According to the outlets citing discussions in Mexico City, organizers are considering shifting the start to Sunday lunchtime in the UK. One report states the match would move to noon on Sunday, representing a six-hour earlier start than originally planned. Another report adds that discussions are ongoing and presents possible alternatives for the revised schedule, including a kick-off at 7 p.m. on Sunday night local time in Mexico. The reports indicate the change is still being discussed rather than finalized, but the direction of the adjustment is consistent across sources: the match begins earlier than the previously announced time. No additional details about reasons for the change or any impacts on team preparations are provided in the excerpts.
