England-Mexico World Cup Match Delayed by One Hour

The FIFA World Cup round‑of‑16 match between England and Mexico will now kick off at 9 p.m. ET on Sunday, a one‑hour delay caused by extreme weather near Mexico City Stadium. It is the second time the venue has experienced a weather‑related postponement; the earlier round‑of‑32 match against Ecuador was similarly delayed after thunder and lightning, with Mexico winning 2‑0 to reach the last‑16. forestarrow.help

England, the bookmakers’ favorite at –140 against Mexico (+112), will play the match on FOX and FOX One. The game follows Mexico’s failure to reach the last‑16 in 2022 and England’s consistent presence in the round‑of‑16 in recent tournaments.
