England faced Norway in a World Cup quarter-final match on July 11, 2026, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The winner would secure the third semi-final spot, following France and Spain.
Ahead of the match, England manager Thomas Tuchel reportedly had all his key players available. Norway's progress in the tournament had largely been attributed to Erling Haaland, who had scored two goals against Iraq and another two against Senegal. However, Emma Hayes cautioned that while containing Haaland was crucial, Norway should not be underestimated as a united team under Ståle Solbakken.
England ultimately defeated Norway 2-1. Norway's goalkeeper, Orjan Håskjold Nyland, who had been a hero in their match against Brazil, made a critical error that led to Jude Bellingham's second goal for England.
