Mexico vs England - 2026 World Cup Betting & Odds

Mexico vs England betting preview

England face Mexico in the last 16 of the 2026 World Cup, with Thomas Tuchel's side still unbeaten as they prepare for one of their biggest tests of the tournament so far.

The Three Lions had to do things the hard way in the Round of 32, coming from behind to beat DR Congo 2-1 thanks to two goals from Harry Kane. England's captain once again delivered when it mattered, keeping his Golden Boot hopes alive and sending his country into a huge knockout clash in Mexico City.

Mexico also arrive with confidence after beating Ecuador 2-0 in their own Round of 32 tie, and with the game being played on home soil, the co-hosts will be ready to cause something of an upset when Tuchel and Co come to town.

Mexico vs England odds

England will still be strongly fancied, with their star quality still making them favourites, but this is unlikely to feel like a straightforward knockout tie.

Mexico have the crowd, the conditions and the momentum of a clean-sheet victory behind them, while England know they cannot afford another slow start after falling behind against DR Congo. Kane will be central to the betting conversation once again, while Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon could all attract interest in the player markets.

Can England handle Mexico City?

This will be a very different challenge for England, with the match taking place in Mexico City and kicking off at 01:00 BST - in the early hours of Monday morning for UK viewers.

Mexico will look to feed off the home support and make the occasion as uncomfortable as possible, but England have already shown resilience in this tournament. If Tuchel's side can start sharper than they did against DR Congo and get Kane, Bellingham and Saka involved early, they undoubtedly have the quality to reach the quarter-finals.
