Don’t miss your chance of seeing England in World Cup action, where they’ll be playing and who against
Heading into the FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament, England fans had high hopes that their team could go all the way and finally get their hands on the glittering gold trophy, even though they’ve had to endure sixty years of hurt.
Those ever-optimistic fans were even more enthusiastic following England’s rampant performance in their tournament opener vs Croatia. Even though the Three Lions failed to spark in subsequent games against Ghana and Panama, they got the job done and finished top of their group, to set-up a Round of 32 clash with DR Congo.
England reached the World Cup semis in 2018 and the quarter-finals in 2022, but can they go all the way in 2026? Let GOAL show you the route that awaits Thomas Tuchel’s men, between now and the World Cup Final on July 19, and who they could meet on their quest for glory.

England’s path to the World Cup 2026 Final
As England finished top of Group L, these are the following dates, times and venues where and when England will be playing if they manage to progress to the World Cup Final on July 19.
If England beat DR Congo on Wednesday, then a very tough-looking encounter with tournament co-hosts, Mexico, could await at the Estadio Azteca in the Round of 16. El Tri have lost just twice in competitive internationals at the iconic stadium since it opened in 1966.
Following that it could be Brazil in the quarter-finals, Argentina or Colombia in the semi-finals and Germany/Spain/France/Portugal in the Final.
