England and Costa Rica face off in Orlando on Wednesday, but the match has been delayed. England are playing their final tune-up before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, taking on Costa Rica in an international friendly at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida. However, weather conditions have forced a delay to kickoff.

“Today’s game against Costa Rica has been delayed due to weather conditions in Orlando,” England’s official national team account posted on Wednesday afternoon. “We’ll provide further updates as soon as we have them.”

The international friendly was originally scheduled to kick off at 4 p.m. ET. However, heavy rain, the threat of thunderstorms and flood warnings in the area have prompted organizers to take precautionary measures to ensure the safety of players and fans inside the stadium.
