World Cup 2026: Mexico–England Delayed by One Hour Due to Weather

The World Cup 2026 match between Mexico and England was delayed by one hour due to severe weather conditions. As the two teams prepared for a crucial showdown for a spot in the round of 16, FIFA decided to push back the start time of the match.

Originally scheduled to begin at 00:00 GMT, the match at the Azteca Stadium, located at a high altitude, will now kick off an hour later. Heavy rain has been affecting Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, leading to concerns about the match being postponed altogether. However, FIFA opted to proceed with the event under the established protocol that has been in place since the beginning of the World Cup.

Players are currently waiting in the dressing rooms while fans anticipation builds as they await updates on the situation.
