England and Ghana played to a 0-0 draw [4] during their Group L match in the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Tuesday, June 23 [3].
The result leaves both teams fighting for position in the tournament standings, as each side required a point or a win to secure qualification for the round of 32 [1].
The match took place at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts [2]. Kickoff occurred at 4 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time, which corresponded to 9 p.m. UK BST [1].
England entered the match following a 4-2 win over Croatia [5]. Ghana came into the fixture after securing a 1-0 victory against Panama [6]. Despite the momentum from previous wins, neither side could find the back of the net in the scoreless contest.

The event was broadcast exclusively in English by Fox, which holds the rights for every World Cup 2026 match, CNET editorial staff said [7].
England's squad, featuring captain Harry Kane, faced a disciplined Ghanaian defense throughout the game. The deadlock persisted until the final whistle, splitting the points between the two nations in a critical stage of the group phase.
“England and Ghana battle to a scoreless draw.”
The scoreless draw prevents either team from gaining a decisive advantage in Group L. Because both England and Ghana had previously secured wins—England over Croatia and Ghana over Panama—this result keeps the qualification race tight, meaning subsequent group matches will likely determine who advances to the round of 32.
