About This Match
France face England in the 3rd Place on Saturday, July 18, 2026. France are ranked #3 in the world and managed by Didier Deschamps; England sit at #4 under Thomas Tuchel. The match kicks off at 17:00 local time at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
France
France enter the 2026 FIFA World Cup as two-time champions and one of the heaviest favourites, led by arguably the world's best player in Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé. Les Bleus have been extraordinarily consistent under Didier Deschamps - World Cup champions in 2018, runners-up in 2022 - and their squad depth is exceptional, combining experienced players like Antoine Griezmann with an extraordinary young talent pipeline. Group I alongside Senegal, Norway, and Iraq looks very manageable for France, who will be expected to reach the late stages of the tournament. The question for 2026 is not whether France will win games, but whether they can finally put together a complete tournament performance to claim a third World Cup title.
Read France preview →England
England arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup under German coach Thomas Tuchel with a genuine belief that 60 years of hurt can finally end. The Three Lions boast arguably their strongest squad since 1966, led by Real Madrid's extraordinary Jude Bellingham - already one of the world's best players at just 22 - alongside the brilliance of Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane's prolific goal-scoring, and Phil Foden's creative genius. Group L with Croatia, Panama, and Ghana is a group England should win comfortably, setting up what could be a historic knockout run. After heartbreaking semi-final exits at 2018 and Euro 2020, and another final defeat at Euro 2024, the belief - and the talent - are finally aligned for England to go all the way.
