Mexico v England World Cup match delayed by severe weather at Azteca

Mexico's World Cup 2026 last 16 match against England is delayed due to an electrical storm at Azteca Stadium. Originally set to kick off at 6pm local time, the match now faces a new start time of 7pm, pending further weather developments. The area experienced heavy rain, thunder, and lightning, prompting both teams' late arrival and a protocol that halts entry into the stadium. This storm follows previous delays earlier in the week, putting into effect FIFA's safety regulations regarding severe weather. The winner will face Norway in the quarter-finals on Saturday after their victory over Brazil.
