About This Match
Panama face England in the Group Stage of Group L on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Panama are ranked #34 in the world and managed by Thomas Christiansen; England sit at #4 under Thomas Tuchel. The match kicks off at 17:00 local time at MetLife Stadium in New York / New Jersey.
Panama
Panama make their third consecutive World Cup appearance in 2026, cementing their status as a genuine CONCACAF force after a rapid rise in Central American football. Los Canaleros, coached by Danish-born Thomas Christiansen, qualified with a mix of MLS players and Central American-based talent that reflects the growing depth of Panamanian football. Group L against England, Croatia, and Ghana is their toughest group in three World Cup cycles, but Panama's physical, hard-running style makes them competitive opponents who can take points from anyone. Their passionate support base and the national pride invested in each World Cup appearance makes Panama one of the tournament's most colourful participants.
Read Panama 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.
