The Norway vs. England lineups are confirmed for today’s 2026 World Cup Quarterfinal match set to kick off at 5 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The two European countries are no strangers, having met 12 previous times, with England winning 7, Norway grabbing 3 wins, paired with 2 draws. This is their first meeting at the World Cup. 

England is the favorite to advance in this match with a 1.38x payout on PrizePicks and a 68% implied win probability heading into Saturday’s match. England, one of the pre-tournament favorites at PrizePicks Team Picks, won Group L with wins over Croatia and Panama and a draw with Ghana, then rallied to beat DR Congo before beating Mexico at Azteca in the Round of 16.

Norway, who went 8-0 in World Cup qualifying, was the runner-up to France in Group I after losing to Les Bleus without superstar ST Erling Haaland. A Round of 32 win vs. Ivory Coast and an upset over five-time World Cup champions Brazil set the date with England for a berth in the World Cup Semifinals.

What Norway vs. England Starting Lineups Mean for World Cup Quarterfinal Predictions 

England’s back line took a hit with Jarell Quansah’s red card suspension and injuries to Reece James and Marc Guéhi. Marc Guéhi is in at the center-back role, with John Stones as the other central defender starting today.

Djed Spence is listed as a substitute, while Ezri Konsa fills right-back for the injured Reece James.

There aren’t any issues on the offensive side as Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane continue to dominate, accounting for all 3 goals down in Mexico. Noni Madueke is starting for Bukayo Saka at right winger is only change for the attacking side.

How the back line performs will go a long way to figuring out how much England can push forward to feed the dangerous front line. 

However, the Three Lions don’t want to leave their line exposed to the dangerous Haaland, who has 7 goals in 5 matches and is in a battle for the Golden Boot. He’s currently the third favorite to win the award, returning 7.14x at PrizePicks Team Picks.   

Norway’s lineup is similar to the one that knocked out Brazil, with Haaland and Alexander Sørloth leading the charge up front, paired with Martin Ødegaard feeding them from the midfield.

That formula has worked every time Haaland has played in this tournament, with Norway winning each of those matches. Andreas Schjelderup is starting at left winger next to Haaland and Sørloth, instead of Antonio Nusa.
