Mexico vs England Round of 16 Tickets 2026: Prices, Seats, Where to Buy
Mexico vs England Round of 16 tickets are among the most in-demand seats of the entire World Cup 2026 knockout stage, and for good reason. This is the host nation playing at the historic Estadio Azteca with a quarterfinal place on the line.
If you want to be inside the stadium on July 5, here is what tickets cost, what your seat options are, and exactly where to buy safely.
Official FIFA sales are nearly exhausted this late in the tournament, so most fans are now securing seats through the official FIFA Resale Marketplace or a trusted resale platform like StubHub, which already has verified Match 92 listings for this fixture.
Mexico vs England Match Details
| Match | Mexico vs England (Round of 16, Match 92) |
| Date | Sunday, July 5, 2026 |
| Kickoff | 6:00 PM local (Mexico City), 8:00 PM ET |
| Venue | Estadio Azteca, Mexico City (FIFA name: Mexico City Stadium) |
| Capacity | 87,500 |

Mexico reached this stage with a 2-0 win over Ecuador at the Azteca, a fourth straight clean sheet that keeps El Tri at home for their final match in Mexico this tournament. England came from behind to beat DR Congo 2-1, with Harry Kane scoring both goals in the second half.
For Mexico, the stakes carry extra weight, since El Tri exited in the Round of 16 at seven straight World Cups from 1994 to 2018, so a win at home would end a long wait. The two nations have met only once at a World Cup, back in 1966, when England won 2-0 on their way to the title.
One quick note before you shop: some resale sites list the stadium as Estadio Banorte, which is its current commercial name. It is the same venue as Estadio Azteca, which FIFA calls Mexico City Stadium during the tournament.
Where to Buy Mexico vs England Round of 16 Tickets
You have two safe routes: official FIFA channels and trusted resale marketplaces.
Official FIFA channels
The main ticket lotteries have closed, but two official options remain at FIFA.com/tickets. The Last-Minute Sales window sells any released tickets first-come, first-served with instant confirmation. The FIFA Resale Marketplace lets fans buy and sell verified tickets at regulated prices. Both depend on limited availability, so stock appears and disappears quickly. Note that there are no sales at the stadium on match day.
StubHub
For a sold-out host-nation knockout match, StubHub is the most reliable way to find available seats right now. Match 92 listings are already live, every order is covered by the StubHub FanProtect guarantee, and an interactive seat map lets you see your exact section before you pay. It is the option most fans will use to lock in a seat for July 5.
Mexico vs England Ticket Prices
FIFA uses dynamic pricing for the 2026 World Cup, so face value rises with demand. Group stage tickets started as low as $60, while Final tickets reached up to $6,730 at face value. Round of 16 pricing sits between those levels, and a host-nation knockout tie is at the top end.
On the resale market, this is one of the most expensive Round of 16 fixtures. Verified get-in listings for Match 92 currently start around $2,700, with average seats in the mid thousands and premium Category 1 seats near the field going higher. Resale prices move constantly as July 5 nears, so always check live listings before you buy.
Quick summary of your options by budget:
- FIFA Resale Marketplace: regulated face-value prices and the best value if you can find a listing, but availability is unpredictable.
- StubHub: widest availability with buyer protection, prices above face value, get-in currently around $2,700.
Seating Categories at Estadio Azteca
FIFA splits World Cup seating into four categories, which map directly to the listings you see on resale sites:
- Category 1: the best and most expensive seats, in the lower tier closest to the field.
- Category 2: strong views in the upper and lower tiers outside the Category 1 areas.
- Category 3: more affordable seats, mainly in the upper tier and behind the goals.
- Category 4: the most budget-friendly tier, in the upper sections, often reserved for host-country residents.
With 87,500 seats, even the upper tiers of the Azteca deliver a huge atmosphere for a match of this size.
Tips for Buying Safely
- Stick to official channels or a well-known platform with a buyer guarantee, such as FIFA.com, the FIFA Resale Marketplace, or StubHub.
- Compare a few listings and use the seat map to confirm your section before paying.
- Buy sooner rather than later, since availability shrinks and prices climb as match day nears.
- Avoid unverified private sellers on social media.
