In Group L of the FIFA World Cup 2026, England and Ghana enter the final matchday level on four points, followed by Croatia with three points, while Panama has been eliminated from contention. England will guarantee advancement with a win or draw against Panama, and they will likely secure the top spot with a victory, depending on the goal-difference tiebreakers relative to Ghana. Ghana also controls their own destiny, as a win or draw against Croatia would see them through to the Round of 32, with a victory potentially earning them first place if England fails to win. For Croatia, the path is straightforward: a win against Ghana guarantees progression, while a draw would leave them with four points and a -1 goal difference, putting their qualification for the Round of 32 as one of the best third-placed teams in the hands of other groups' results.

England and Panama have faced each other only once in their history, a group stage match at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. In the 2018 match, England dominated with a 6–1 victory, featuring a hat-trick from Harry Kane and a brace from John Stones.

Panama’s Felipe Baloy scored the nation's first-ever World Cup goal as a consolation in the 78th minute.
