Heading into the FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament, England<\/a> 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\u2019ve had to endure sixty years of hurt.<\/p>\n Those ever-optimistic fans were even more enthusiastic following England\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n 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<\/strong><\/b> 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.<\/p>\n England World Cup 2026 results and upcoming fixtures<\/p>\n Date<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n Fixture (local KO time)<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n Venue<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n Final Score \/ Tickets<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<\/tr>\n Wednesday, June 17<\/p>\n<\/td>\n England vs Croatia (3pm CDT)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n AT&T Stadium, Dallas<\/p>\n<\/td>\n England won 4-2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Tuesday, June 23<\/p>\n<\/td>\n England vs Ghana (4pm ET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Gillette Stadium, Foxborough<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 0-0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Saturday, June 27<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Panama vs England (5pm ET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford<\/p>\n<\/td>\n England won 2-0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Wednesday, July 1<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n England vs DR Congo (12pm ET)<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Tickets<\/strong><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n England’s path to the World Cup 2026 Final<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n If England beat DR Congo <\/strong><\/b>on Wednesday, then a very tough-looking encounter with tournament co-hosts, Mexico<\/strong><\/b>, could await at the Estadio Azteca in the Round of 16.
