England’s World Cup last-16 tie against Mexico is scheduled to kick off at 1:00am UK time on Monday, after earlier speculation and confusion about whether the start time might be moved. Multiple outlets report that the match time remains unchanged at 1am in the UK, with Sky Sports and Sky News stating the kick-off “will remain” at 1am on Monday following discussion of a possible change. The42 also places the kick-off at 1am in Irish time, aligning with the late UK start. Some reports note that, locally in Mexico, the fixture is described as taking place on Sunday evening, but UK viewers see it as late night/early Monday because of the time difference. One Sky Sports explainer addresses why the kick-off time could have been adjusted, reflecting the period of uncertainty around the fixture’s staging. Coverage also includes information for supporters about how the match may reach extra time and penalties if needed, but the consistent point across sources is that the scheduled broadcast kick-off in the UK is 1am Monday.
