​England is aiming to capture its first World Cup title since 1966 at the 2026 tournament, and to do so the Three Lions must overcome an emerging Norway side that has established itself as a credible threat at this edition. Norway has benefited from a standout performance by Erling Haaland, who sits among the Golden Boot contenders with seven goals, helping the team reach its first World Cup quarterfinal. The Norwegians recently upset Brazil 2-1 and will be looking to add England to their growing list of scalps in what could be another memorable moment in their underdog run.
England, meanwhile, has yet to be beaten at the 2026 World Cup and most recently defeated Mexico 3-2 at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Although El Tri had not lost at that venue since 2013, a multi-goal display from Jude Bellingham paired with a Harry Kane penalty was sufficient to push the Three Lions through, even after Jarell Quansah was sent off late in the first half and the team played much of the remainder with 10 men.
England’s clash with Norway is shaping up to be a difficult hurdle. It’s not only because Ståle Solbakken’s side boast a potent attack, but also because the English players may feel the effects of fatigue from playing at high altitude in Mexico City while a man down. Nevertheless, the bookmakers still favor England to prevail and keep alive their long-awaited bid to claim a second World Cup title.
Here is what you need to know about England’s quarterfinal against Norway, including where it will be staged and how to watch it: The Norway-England quarterfinal will take place at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:00 p.m. ET and will be the second-to-last quarterfinal of the 2026 World Cup. Hard Rock Stadium, typically home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, has hosted several World Cup fixtures this year, including Argentina’s 3-2 win over Cape Verde in the Round of 32.

The winner advances to the 2026 World Cup semifinals to face the victor of the other quarterfinal between Argentina and Switzerland. Argentina and Switzerland are set to meet at 9:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, just after the Norway-England game concludes. While Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, is favored to win, it’s worth noting that La Albiceleste required extra time to subdue Cape Verde in the Round of 32, underscoring that nothing in this tournament can be taken for granted.
