The second semi-final match of the 2026 World Cup will take place on Wednesday, July 15. England and Argentina will face each other.

The match will begin at 22:00 Kyiv time at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, USA.

The winner of this pair will reach the 2026 World Cup final, where they will play against Spain, who defeated France 2-0 on July 14.

England vs. Argentina is a true poster boy, a brand, and a classic of world football. Harry Kane vs. Lionel Messi. The England team, which has only reached the World Cup final once before (in 1966, when they became champions), or the Argentina team, striving to defend its title as the current world champions.

These teams have played 15 official and friendly matches against each other. They have met five times at the World Cup, with England winning three and Argentina twice.

Some of these matches have gone down in football history. In the 1966 World Cup quarterfinals, England won 1-0 , but that match is remembered for the dismissal of Argentina captain Antonio Rattín. German referee Rudolf Kreitlein sent him off for “an obscene remark” directed at the referee. The referee didn’t speak Spanish, and Rattín didn’t speak German.

That match, which featured extremely tough play, laid the foundation for a fundamental confrontation between English and Argentine fans and became one of the impetuses for the introduction of the yellow and red card system, which was intended to eliminate such misunderstandings between referees and players.

In the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals , Argentina won 2-1 . The legendary Diego Maradona scored both goals. One of them was a handball, which the referee missed. This episode became known as the “Hand of God.” It was not without political overtones. At that time, only four years had passed since the Falklands War (Argentina’s defeat by Great Britain), so it significantly affected the relationship between fans of both countries.

This time, bookmakers favor the English. At the same time, the intrigue of this match is enormous—and not only because of the rich history of this rivalry. England vs. Argentina is more than just a World Cup semifinal. It’s the latest chapter in one of the most famous and pivotal football rivalries in history.
