England end their group stage at the 2026 World Cup with a clash against already-eliminated Panama at a slightly later time.
The Three Lions missed the chance to secure top spot in Group L on Tuesday as they struggled to a 0-0 draw with Ghana.

It now means they’re going to have to win this game to avoid dropping to second and getting a tougher Round of 32 fixture.
England’s 4-2 win over Croatia in their opener and the point against Ghana will see them progress into the knockout stages.
But they’ll want to return to winning ways against a Panama side that has yet to score a goal, having lost both of their games 1-0.
Tensions were high last time out as Thomas Tuchel’s side were handed a reality check, so he’ll want full focus this time out.
