Grab your Mexico vs England/DR Congo tickets for Round of 16 - World Cup 2026 at Mexico City Stadium with total confidence, and find the top Mexico World Cup 2026 knockout tickets here. With a berth in the Quarter Finals on the line, Mexico — unbeaten and without conceding a goal — carry the national team's football dreams into the Round of 16 in front of a sold-out crowd at the Estadio Azteca on Sunday, July 5, 2026, as co-hosts in Match 92.
The Round of 16 is the second knockout round of the tournament, coming after the Round of 32 and before the quarter-finals in this expanded 48-team World Cup. All matches are single-elimination, with no possibility of a draw. Should the teams be level after 90 minutes, 30 minutes of extra time is played to decide the match, and if the game remains level after 120 minutes, the tie is settled by penalties.
Match 92 pits the winners of two Round of 32 matches against each other. Mexico, having beaten Ecuador 2-0, take on the winner of England vs DR Congo (Match 80) — either the European heavyweights England, or DR Congo, competing at their first World Cup since 1974. If they claim victory in this match, the winner will take on the winner of the Brazil v Norway tie in the quarter-finals on July 11 in Miami. If not, their World Cup will be over.
For Mexico, this is a shot at history. Mexico hope to emulate a feat they last achieved 40 years ago — reaching the quarter-finals at the 1986 World Cup, which they hosted. The last eight is a stage they have not reached since, having been eliminated in the Round of 16 in seven consecutive World Cups between 1994 and 2018. Javier Aguirre's side breezed to the last 16 with three wins and no goals conceded to top Group A. Now, under the lights in front of 80,000+ fans at the Estadio Azteca, El Tri have a chance to finally break the last-16 curse.
Their opposition will be serious in whatever form it arrives. Should England progress, Mexico will face a side tipped to go the distance, with a world-class squad. Should DR Congo advance, Mexico will meet an African side competing at their first World Cup since 1974 — a team with nothing to lose. Whichever opponent they face, playing in Mexico City is difficult for anyone, given the altitude of more than 7,000 feet. There is only one equation for Mexico: win and reach the last eight, or lose and see their World Cup end at the Estadio Azteca in their own backyard.

As Mexico advance to the knockout stages, they face their first true test: the Round of 16. The co-hosts have been as ferocious as they have been resilient, and as the tournament moves to its next phase, they will back their chances — but football offers no mercy to the overambitious or the underperforming, and a fervent home atmosphere brings its own kind of pressure.
It has been the best of both worlds for El Tri, blending an experienced squad with exciting talent. In striker Julián Quiñones, Mexico possess one of the tournament's leading scorers, while AC Milan striker Santiago Giménez and veteran Raúl Jiménez give coach Javier Aguirre plenty of options in the final third. Captain and defensive midfielder Edson Álvarez anchors the middle, winger Hirving "Chucky" Lozano provides the spark out wide, and goalkeeper Raúl Rangel kept a clean-sheet run going through the group stage. Add the altitude and the cacophony of the Azteca, and this has the makings of a memorable night in front of the home fans.
Whatever the opponent throws at them, Mexico will need to be at their best. If England come through, El Tri will have to nullify a host of world-class players — the likes of Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka under England coach Thomas Tuchel — in a team tipped to go all the way. DR Congo, meanwhile, are a no-nonsense, highly athletic side who have made their presence felt throughout the tournament. For Mexico, it is about making their home advantage count and taking their chances when they come.
Mexico: As winners of Group A — with three wins and no goals conceded — Mexico beat South Africa 2-0, South Korea 1-0 and Czechia 3-0. They then beat Ecuador 2-0 in their Round of 32 tie at the Estadio Azteca to secure their place in the last 16.
The Opponent (England or DR Congo): In Group L, England topped the table thanks to a 4-2 victory over Croatia and are now seen as one of the leading contenders for the title, given the calibre of their squad. DR Congo, meanwhile, are at their first World Cup since 1974 and held Portugal to a draw in the group stage. Either side can be dangerous.
So how did Mexico get here, and what lies ahead on their route through this round?
Next up, the winner of Match 92 progresses to Quarter Final Match 99 at Miami Stadium on 11 July, facing the winner of the Brazil v Norway tie, with the Semi Finals and Final still to come.
Mexico City Stadium, known internationally as the Estadio Azteca, is one of the most famous stadiums in the world and a national fortress for Mexico. With a World Cup capacity of around 83,000, it is the first stadium ever to host World Cup opening matches and finals across three different tournaments — 1970, 1986 and now 2026. Its greatest weapon is its setting: at more than 7,200 feet above sea level, the thin air makes it a punishing place for visiting teams, and Mexico have an excellent recent home record here. Located in the south of Mexico City, it is well served by public transport and generates an atmosphere that few venues on earth can match — a perfect stage for a fixture of this standing.
Ticket prices for Round of 16 matches at World Cup 2026 are sure to be high as the tournament reaches its first genuine elimination games. Any match featuring co-hosts Mexico at the Estadio Azteca — potentially against a giant like England — will be one of the most popular fixtures of the round, so let's take a closer look at what you might be paying.
