Tickets are now on sale for Match 103 of the World Cup 2026 Bronze Final, pitting France against England. On July 18, 2026, these two semi-final losers will clash at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. It marks a rematch of their encounter from the 2022 quarter-finals, with both teams now battling for the third-place finish and a bronze medal in a quest to cap off their campaigns on a high note.
The World Cup 2026 Bronze Final features France versus England, a heavyweight contest for third place. In the semi-finals, France suffered a narrow 2-0 defeat to Spain, while England just missed out on the final by a hair's breadth after losing to Argentina in an incredibly dramatic late finish.
The third-place play-off can often be one of the most exciting games in the tournament, as the pressure of the final isn't on the line and the two top-four squads can simply attack the game. Taking place the day before the World Cup 2026 Final at Hard Rock Stadium and featuring a potential sub-plot for the Golden Boot, Match 103 tickets will give fans a chance to catch top-notch football at a more reasonable price than for the final.
France started off as the top seeds and a clear-cut favorite and proved dominant most of the way. They won all three Group I games 3-1 against Senegal, 3-0 vs Iraq and 4-1 over Norway, with Ousmane Dembélé scoring a hat-trick against Norway, and cruised past Sweden 3-0 and then edged past Paraguay 1-0 in the round of 16.
In the quarter-finals, France dispatched Morocco 2-0, scoring goals from Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé to enter the semi-finals for the third straight time as the only team to win their entire campaign in regular time. But the French came up just short in Dallas in the semis when Spain took care of business with a 2-0 win, with Mikel Oyarzabal slotting home a first-half penalty and Pedro Porro adding a second in the second half to end the French run, while France moves onto the third-place match still trying to find that perfect end to the year.
England's dream of a first World Cup trophy since 1966 looked a lot closer than many thought under Tuchel. England finished first in Group L with two wins and one draw against a mix of strong opposition: a 4-2 win against Croatia and then a 0-0 draw with Ghana and a 2-0 win over Panama, and in the round of 32 a 2-1 win over DR Congo.
Things turned into a roller coaster of a tournament. England won a 3-2 thrill ride of a game against co-hosts Mexico at their stadium, the Estadio Azteca, and then beat Norway 2-1 after extra time (right here in Hard Rock Stadium, where the two-goal effort came from Jude Bellingham). England then met Argentina in the semi-final. England led via a goal from Anthony Gordon, but Enzo Fernández levelled before an injury-time headed winner from Lautaro Martínez ended England's hopes of bringing a World Cup trophy back home, and instead, England will now have to settle for a play-off for third place in Miami.
All the necessary info for the bronze final:
The marquee Miami Gardens stadium that serves as the final World Cup venue on Saturday, July 18th has already hosted England at the quarter-final stage, and with two attacking sides going head-to-head in this match we can expect an electric atmosphere as England and France compete in Match 103 for the bronze.
There was a lot of interest in this match-up and this bronze medal match between France and England, especially as it serves as a rematch of the 2022 quarter-final — France's 2-1 win over England, which helped them advance to the final. Both teams have been hoping to get a win and a medal to avoid consecutive losses.
We also have a personal battle we're interested in seeing, as Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi are tied at eight goals, but Mbappe has an assists lead which could be significant, and now that Messi has played his final match of the World Cup, it's down to Mbappé to add to his goals to clinch the Golden Boot award. England's Bellingham was a surprise breakout player as England went on their run, and it'll be interesting to see if he ends his tournament on a high note.
Since defenses will be less organized in this bronze match between two squads stacked with talented players, the third-place match is almost certainly going to be the same sort of open, end-to-end, goals galore affair that we tend to see with this match. France's offensive firepower vs. England's technical skills, combined with both teams' pride in being competitive as both are hoping to win medals and Mbappé is hoping to complete his Golden Boot, makes this a match that should be far more interesting than a consolation match for two teams that were knocked out earlier.
France has the best attack of all teams that made it to the semi-finals, even after they got beaten by Spain in the knockout round, and will have an offensive advantage. England showed their resilience as they defeated Mexico and Norway, but couldn't get past Argentina and fell out of contention. Either way, it's likely that both teams will be rotating in players who haven't started many of the team's other matches and that can open up the match as they look for goals as they try to finish their tournament on an optimistic note.
