Mexico’s World Cup 2026 last-16 match against England at Estadio Azteca is delayed due to severe weather in the buildup, with a thunderstorm reported near the time of kick-off. Multiple outlets say officials delay the start as conditions worsen, affecting the scheduled kick-off time listed for local and international viewers.
The match outcome determines who progresses to the next round. All sources link the tie’s winner to a quarter-final meeting against Norway, who advance after beating Brazil in another last-16 match reported as taking place in New Jersey. Because Mexico and England play at Azteca, they are presented as the final last-16 tie still to be decided at the time of reporting.
No sources provide details of changes to venue conditions beyond the weather-related disruption, and none report any confirmed on-field scoring or team changes before play begins. The key development across the coverage is the kick-off delay caused by severe weather, with the winner set to face Norway next.
