England will be hoping to take their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign to new heights when they take on co-hosts Mexico at the Estadio Azteca in the round of 16, and you can live stream the round of 16 clash around the world for free.
At 2,200 meters above sea level, the iconic Mexico City venue presents challenges unlike any the Three Lions have faced in the tournament so far. The high altitude means England’s stars are likely to tire faster than their opponents, who are used to playing in these conditions. Add to that the hostile home support at the 87,000-capacity stadium, plus the ghosts of Diego Maradona’s Hand of God goal in 1986, and you have an idea of the task facing Thomas Tuchel’s men. They will have to play much better than they did against the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the round of 32, when a late double from captain Harry Kane prevented a humiliating elimination.
Mexico will be eager to get started after winning their first four games of the tournament to zero. Three of those wins came at the Azteca, where El Tri has an astonishing record: they have lost just two of their 89 competitive matches at the stadium, while they are undefeated in 10 World Cup matches there, winning seven. They beat Ecuador 2-0 here in the round of 32 to end a 40-year wait for a knockout victory, so Javier Aguirre’s team will be full of confidence as they look to emulate Mexico’s run to the quarter-finals in 1970 and 1986, the other two times they hosted the final.
