England's path to the 2026 World Cup final: Expected opponents in the last 16 and beyond
England have a challenging route to the 2026 World Cup final, facing the likes of Congo, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and France in the knockout stages.
England topped Group L with two wins against Croatia and Panama, as well as a goalless draw against Ghana. The British team is among the favorites to lift the trophy on July 19, with odds at +700, equal to those of Spain and behind only France and Argentina. Here's what you need to know about England's path to the 2026 FIFA World Cup final: This simulation of England's path to the final assumes two things: 1. That the team wins every match in the knockout stages. 2. That the team with the highest FIFA ranking in any other match wins as expected, starting from the round of 16. This creates the most difficult - and perhaps most realistic - path for England to get to the final.
