The kickoff for the 2026 World Cup clash between Mexico and England has been delayed, with a new time set for the game to officially begin. Mexico and England were originally scheduled to kick off their Round of 16 clash on Sunday, July 5th, at 8:00 PM ET at the historic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. However, a sudden pregame delay has left fans waiting for answers ahead of one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament.
The postponement has been caused by severe weather conditions around the stadium. Heavy rainfall, combined with a significant threat of lightning and electrical activity, has forced officials to push back the start of the match.
As of now, the updated kickoff time for Mexico vs England has been moved one hour from the original schedule, meaning the match will now begin at 9:00 PM ET, marking the final World Cup game to be played at the Estadio Azteca.
