England to Face Mexico at Estadio Azteca in FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16PreviousNext

Mexico will host England at the Estadio Azteca in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16, where Mexico boasts a strong home record with 70 wins, 17 draws, and only two losses in 89 competitive matches since 1966. The high-altitude conditions at 2,240 meters present an additional challenge for England. Mexico advanced after a 2-0 win over Ecuador, marking their first knockout-stage victory since 1986, while England reached this stage following their Round of 32 win against DR Congo.
