England is poised to take on DR Congo in a pivotal 2026 FIFA World Cup round of 32 matchup on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at Atlanta Stadium, with the match set to be broadcast on FOX. England is making its third consecutive World Cup knockout stage appearance, aiming to replicate its past successes, including a quarterfinal finish in 2022 and a fourth-place finish in 2018.
The Three Lions have a rich history in major tournaments, having finished as runners-up at the last two European Championships, with their only major title being the 1966 World Cup, which they won as hosts. England secured the top spot in Group L, starting with a convincing 4-2 win over Croatia, followed by a 0-0 draw against Ghana, and culminating in a 2-0 victory over Panama on Friday.
In contrast, DR Congo is making its debut in the World Cup knockout stage, marking a historic milestone for the nation. The Leopards began their World Cup campaign with a notable 1-1 draw against Portugal, before suffering a narrow 1-0 loss to Colombia due to a late goal. However, with their tournament on the line, DR Congo responded admirably, coming from behind to defeat Uzbekistan 3-1 in the group finale.
