England's schedule for their involvement in Group L at the 2026 World Cup has already been set, but what comes next depends entirely on how the Three Lions perform.

With potential routes taking fans from the East Coast to Mexico and Canada, weather conditions could shift dramatically as Thomas Tuchel's men progress through the tournament.

Here, we take a look at what England supporters can expect based on the possible paths at the 2026 World Cup, using average temperature and rainfall data from each host city.

England 2026 World Cup Group Stage weather and temperature

England will begin the summer tournament playing Croatia on June 17 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, before heading to Gillette Stadium in Boston to face Ghana on June 23, and then closing out against Panama at the MetLife Stadium in New York City on June 27.

Dallas will be cooler than many expect, averaging 16°C with an average rainfall of five days, which should feel comfortable for many travelling fans.

Boston offers mild summer conditions, averaging 24°C with around eight days of average rainfall per month. New York is slightly warmer at 27°C, but it can be wetter, averaging the most rain of any host venue (13 days a month).

Heat and humidity: A brutal knockout route

From here on out, England are going to have to overcome some brutal conditions if they are to reach the final in New Jersey.

In the round of 16, the weather is the least of their worries, as it is only scheduled to be 23 degrees in Mexico City. Instead, the issue will be altitude, something the Mexican players are already accustomed to.

If they get through that experience, they will travel to Miami to face Brazil on Saturday, 11 July. As things stand, the temperature in Miami that day is going to be upwards of 30 degrees.

Following that, another match in soaring heat is on the cards in Atlanta.
