England will aim to tick off the first goal of their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign against Panama in New Jersey – and you can watch the game from anywhere for free.
The Three Lions still have work to do to top Group L after second-leg syndrome struck again in a disappointing 0-0 draw against Ghana in Boston on Tuesday. It is now four consecutive tournaments in which England have failed to win their middle group games. The last time the Three Lions did that at a tournament was back in 2018 when they thrashed today’s opponents 6-1 with Harry Kane bagging a hat-trick. A replay seals top spot, meaning the Three Lions will play one of the best third-placed teams. However, if they finish second, Group K will be the runners-up, probably Colombia or Portugal. Gulp.
Panama’s 1-0 defeat to Croatia last time out means they cannot progress to the knockout stages, but they have more than just pride to play for. Los Canaleros are still waiting for their first World Cup point at the sixth attempt. They were seconds from a precious draw in their opener against Ghana, only to concede at the death, while they were arguably the better side before the break against 2018 finalists Croatia, which will give them hope heading into this one. A result of any kind would go down as one of the great World Cup shocks.
