Here’s how to catch England’s clash with World Cup co-hosts Mexico in the last 16 of the tournament:
- Kick-off time: The eagerly awaited World Cup last 16 encounter was set to get underway at 1am BST on Monday, 6 July, but severe weather has delayed kick-off until 2am BST. For supporters stateside and those across the US, the match commences at 7pm local time on Sunday, 5 July.
- Venue information: The tie will unfold at the legendary Estadio Azteca, alternatively referred to as the Mexico City Stadium, in Mexico City. The ground stands more than 7,200 feet above sea level, creating a substantial altitude obstacle that Thomas Tuchel’s men must navigate.
- Television coverage: The fixture will be shown live and exclusively free-to-air on BBC One. Pre-match television programming begins at 12am BST, giving supporters a complete hour of preparation before kick-off.
- Online streaming options: You can watch the game directly via the BBC iPlayer app and the BBC Sport website. These digital services offer a smooth method to view the coverage on mobile devices and laptops without requiring a conventional television arrangement.
- Radio coverage: For those who prefer to soak up the suspense of the knockout stages via audio commentary, both BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT will be providing extensive coverage. Supporters can easily tune in using traditional digital radios or stream the commentary live via the BBC Sounds and talkSPORT apps on their mobile devices.
- England team news: Tino Livramento has been definitively ruled out of the tournament due to a calf injury, but Jarell Quansah has recovered from his ankle problem to start.
- Mexico team news: The Mexican national side enters the knockout stages in impressive form, having triumphed in all four of their tournament matches without letting in a single goal. Their lineup will lean heavily on key players like Julian Quinones, who boasts three goals and an assist, and Santiago Gimenez, who offers a robust focal point in attack.
- Previous match record: Historically, the Three Lions have the upper hand, having emerged victorious in their last four international encounters with Mexico from 1986 to 2010. Their only previous clash at a FIFA World Cup occurred in 1966, where England prevailed 2-0 on their path to lifting the trophy.
