FIFA Sets Conditions for a Mexico‑England Friendly After World Cup

Mexico's 2‑3 defeat to England in the 2026 World Cup sparked calls on social media for a revenge friendly. With England’s UEFA Nations League commitments ending, a window opened in the FIFA calendar.

FIFA announced that a match could be scheduled between September 21 and October 6, 2026, provided both associations agree and adhere to player‑rest and venue regulations. The proposed fixture would give both nations a chance to settle the score on the pitch.
