FIFA World Cup 2026, Panama vs England Live Streaming: When and Where to Watch WC Match in India

Last Updated:June 27, 2026, 14:15 IST

England face Panama in their final Group L match with top spot at stake. Here's the live streaming, telecast, kick-off time, team form, match facts and prediction.

England face Panama in their final Group L fixture at the FIFA World Cup 2026, knowing that victory will almost certainly secure top spot and a favourable route into the knockout stage.

The match will be played at the New York New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium) in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with kick-off scheduled for 2:30 AM IST on Sunday, June 28.

Thomas Tuchel’s side were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Ghana in their previous outing after opening their campaign with an impressive 4-2 victory over Croatia. Despite the setback, England remain in control of their destiny and need all three points to guarantee first place in Group L.

Panama, meanwhile, have already been eliminated after suffering defeats in both of their group matches. While qualification is no longer possible, Thomas Christiansen’s side can still influence the group standings. A draw or victory over England would hand Ghana the opportunity to leapfrog the Three Lions by defeating Croatia.

The two teams have met only once before, during the 2018 FIFA World Cup, when England stormed to a 6-1 victory. Harry Kane scored a hat-trick in that contest, while Panama celebrated their first-ever World Cup goal.
