2026 World Cup: Panama's Final Battle Against England, Seeking First Point

Panama concludes its 2026 World Cup journey on Saturday, June 27, facing England at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Both TVN and TVMAX will broadcast the match live and free of charge. Fans can also stream the game on TVN Pass or watch via TVMAX Panamá's YouTube channel, with radio coverage available on TVN Radio 96.5 FM.

The Panamanian team enters this final group stage match with no chance of advancing. However, they are motivated by the historic opportunity to score their first point in World Cup history. In their previous Group G games, Panama lost 1-0 to Ghana despite a deserving performance, and then fell to Croatia with minimal attacking threat. These results made Panama the sixth team in World Cup history to lose their first five matches.

England, on the other hand, also has unfinished business. Thomas Tuchel's squad drew goalless with Ghana and missed an opportunity to secure the top spot in Group L. England is heavily favored to win this match and finish the group stage at the top of the table. The historical record is not in Panama's favor; their only previous World Cup encounter was a resounding 6-1 defeat to England in 2018, which marked England's largest margin of victory in the tournament and Panama's first-ever World Cup goal.

Statistically, Panama has failed to score in three of their five World Cup games. Wing-back Amir Murillo was Panama's most active attacker against Croatia, with three shots, though he has not scored in 22 consecutive international appearances. For England, Marcus Rashford is expected to start and is one of England's all-time top World Cup scorers with four goals, all scored in the second half. Neither team has reported significant injuries, though Reece James and Declan Rice are managing minor discomforts. Panama aims to finish their first World Cup phase with pride and the hope of making history.
