The iconic Estadio Azteca takes center stage for a special occasion in the Mexican capital, as Javier Aguirre’s side takes on England with a spot in the quarterfinals at stake.
The Three Lions have a pretty wretched history at Mexican World Cups, and much has been made of the unique physical challenges they’ll encounter in front of a feverish home crowd. How well Thomas Tuchel’s team adapts to an environment with which their opponents are ever so cosy will likely determine who moves on, given that England boasts a clear talent advantage over a galvanised El Tri.
This is an unmissable encounter, and here’s how you can tune into the potentially epochal World Cup round of 16 tie.
What Time Does Mexico vs. England Kick Off?
- Location: Mexico City
- Stadium: Estadio Azteca
- Date: Sunday, July 5 / Monday, July 6
- Kick-off Time: 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT / 1 a.m. BST (July 6)
How to Watch Mexico vs. England on TV, Live Stream
Plenty of English supporters will be forced into a dilemma on Sunday night/Monday morning. With the start of the work week looming, is a trip to the pub necessary at such ridiculous hours? For many, it absolutely will be.
BBC One and BBC iPlayer are broadcasting the tie in the United Kingdom, and a ‘Stay Up or Catch Up’ option is available for those who opt against the late night. A full match replay will be shown on BBC Two from 7:10 a.m. BST, and it’ll also be available on-demand right after the full-time whistle.
There’s unsurprisingly an array of streaming avenues in Mexico, including ViX, Canal 5, Azteca 7 and TUDN.
