The Mexican National Team is preparing to face England in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, but unstable weather in Mexico City could change the schedule of the match. FIFA is seriously considering changing the schedule of the match scheduled for Sunday, July 5, at the Mexico City Stadium.

Weather Forecast

The main reason is the coincident weather reports from different sources that agree on a pattern of atmospheric instability over Mexico City. - 06:00 – 09:00: Partly cloudy, cool atmosphere, low probability of rain (0–10%) - 09:00 – 12:00: Increasing cloudiness, isolated showers (10–20%) - 12:00 – 15:00: Cloudy sky, first light rains (20–40%) - 15:00 – 18:00: High probability of rain (40–57%)

FIFA Protocol in Play

The concern is not minor. FIFA protocols establish the immediate suspension of matches in case of detection of electrical activity in a radius close to the stadium. A schedule change would not only affect the sports aspect, but also England's planning.

Mexico's Current Situation

Mexico is in first place in the 2026 World Cup standings with 9 points, having won all three matches and without conceding goals. | Statistic | Value | | --- | --- | | Points | 9 | | Wins | 3 | | Draws | 0 | | Losses | 0 | | Goals for | 6 | | Goals against | 0 |

FIFA's decision will be made in the next few hours, and the weather will be the determining factor.
