England vs Norway Prediction & Betting tips
England will face Norway in a highly anticipated 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter-final match on Saturday, July 11, 2026. The knockout clash is scheduled for a 17:00 local time (21:00 BST / 22:00 London time) kick-off. The blockbuster fixture will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, where extreme summer heat is expected to test both squads. Fans in the UK can watch the action live for free on ITV1 and stream it via ITVX or the BBC iPlayer. The winner will advance to the semi-finals to face either Argentina or Switzerland. The match is being billed as the ultimate modern striking showdown between England’s veteran frontman Harry Kane and Norway’s goal machine Erling Haaland, who already has 7 tournament goals. However, the spotlight also fixes heavily on the generational duel between former Borussia Dortmund clubmates Jude Bellingham and Haaland.
Both teams arrive in Miami after navigating high-drama Round of 16 encounters:
England:
Thomas Tuchel’s side fought through a chaotic match to defeat co-hosts Mexico 3-2 at the Estadio Azteca, despite going down to ten men. A Jude Bellingham brace and a Harry Kane penalty secured the win. The Three Lions are dealing with critical squad rotations. Defender Jarel Quansah is suspended following his red card against Mexico. Reece James, Marc Guéhi, and Declan Rice all sat out of main training on Thursday to follow individual programs, making right-back a major headache for Tuchel. Additionally, Rice, Bellingham, Guéhi, and Nico O’Reilly are all one yellow card away from a semi-final suspension.
England (4-2-3-1): Jordan Pickford – Djed Spence, Marc Guéhi, Ezri Konsa, Nico O’Reilly – Elliot Anderson, Declan Rice – Noni Madueke, Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon – Harry Kane
Norway:
Stale Solbakken’s side pulled off one of the biggest shocks of the tournament by eliminating five-time champions Brazil 2-1. Erling Haaland was the hero, scoring two late goals to book Norway’s first-ever World Cup quarter-final spot. Despite a minor bug and hotel noise disruptions earlier in the week, team doctor Ola Sand confirmed that the squad is fully fit. Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard will dictate the midfield alongside Sander Berge, looking to exploit an England defense that has conceded in its last three games.
Norway (4-2-3-1): Ørjan Nyland – Julian Ryerson, Kristoffer Ajer, Torbjørn Heggem, Leo Østigård – Patrick Berg, Sander Berge – Alexander Sørloth, Martin Ødegaard, Antonio Nusa – Erling Haaland
