England take on Mexico in their 2026 FIFA World Cup group-stage match on Monday, with fans wanting to plan around the late kick-off time.

The fixture is part of the opening phase of the tournament co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with England looking to make a strong start to their campaign.

Given the time-zone difference between the UK and the North American host cities, the match is expected to finish in the early hours of Monday morning for supporters watching from England.

A standard 90-minute match, allowing for added time at the end of each half, typically runs to around two hours from kick-off to the final whistle. Should the game remain level after 90 minutes and require extra time, supporters should factor in an additional 30 minutes, with a potential penalty shootout adding further time beyond that.

England have also unveiled their new Nike home, away, and goalkeeper kits for the tournament ahead of the summer’s competition.
