England and DR Congo Set to Clash in FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 MatchPreviousNext

England and DR Congo face off in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 at Atlanta Stadium. England topped Group L with seven points, including a 2-0 win over Panama, while DR Congo advanced as the highest-ranked third-placed team from Group K, marking their first knockout appearance under their current identity. England enters as favorites with strong defensive and attacking options, but recent upsets in the tournament suggest they will approach the match cautiously. The game will be broadcast live in India with streaming available on ZEE5.
