The kick-off time for the England and Mexico match in the World Cup 2026 is expected to be changed from 1am BST on Monday to 7pm BST on Sunday. This adjustment is aimed at avoiding potential storms in Mexico City, where weather conditions have already caused delays. The recent match between Mexico and Ecuador faced interruptions due to rain, prompting FIFA to consider the earlier start. While FIFA has yet to confirm this change, the move would also benefit fans in the UK. Concerns remain about potential overlap with another match between Brazil and Norway scheduled for later Sunday night.
