Who are England playing in the last 16 of the World Cup and when is it?

All eyes were on Wales vs England on Tuesday night, with the crunch fixture deciding both sides' fate at the 2022 World Cup.

In the end, England have topped Group B and this is what happens next.

Who are England playing in the next round of the World Cup?

England have topped Group B and they will play the runners-up of Group A, Senegal , in the round of 16. The African side beat hosts Qatar 3-1 before defeating Ecuador in their final group stage match to finish second in the group table on six points.

When are the World Cup last-16 games?

England will play Senegal in the round of 16 match on Sunday, December 4, at 7pm at Al-Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar.

What if England make it to the quarter-finals?

If they make it through to the quarters, England will be in familiar territory, having reached that stage on nine previous occasions, beating Sweden at the last World Cup in Russia to make it through to the semis.

There are no guarantees about who they could face if they make it there this time around, although, if they win their game in the next round, they will face either the winner of Group D or the runner-up of Group C in the quarter finals. That means they are likely to face France, who currently top Group D, but they could also come up against one of Argentina, Mexico, Poland or Saudi Arabia, with Group C currently wide open going into the last round of group games and more shocks expected.
