Day 35 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is the second semifinal. England meets Argentina at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in a renewal of one of football’s most storied rivalries.
This is their sixth all-time World Cup meeting, with the winner facing Spain in Sunday’s final at MetLife Stadium.
All times Eastern and accurate as of Thursday, July 14, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.
Semifinal: England vs Argentina
Time/TV: 3:00 PM ET on Fox at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia
Why watch: This rivalry has produced some of the World Cup’s biggest talking points, including Maradona’s 1986 “Hand of God” goal and David Beckham’s 1998 red card. The matchup promises to give us another iconic moment on the world’s stage as both countries will love their chances of lifting the trophy on Sunday.
Why it could disappoint: Both teams have leaked goals in the knockouts and have needed late heroics to advance. If both sides come out cautious in the biggest match of their tournaments, this can settle into a tight, tense battle that goes to extra time or penalties.
