Quick Scoop: When Does Haaland Play Again?

Erling Haaland’s next match is the 2026 World Cup quarterfinal for Norway, which is scheduled for Saturday, July 9, 2026 , against England.

The Big Match: Norway vs England

This is a historic moment for Norway: it’s their first-ever World Cup quarterfinal. Haaland has been the driving force behind Norway’s run, including:

  • Scoring a brace against Brazil in the round of 16 (2–1 win).
  • Leading Norway’s “storybook run” in the tournament, with two late goals including a 79th-minute header.

The match will be at a U.S. venue (the bracket and local listings confirm the quarterfinals are all in North America), and it’s widely being treated as a “Haaland vs. England” story.

What Comes After?

If Norway win, the next possible game would be the semifinal a few days later, with the World Cup final on July 19, 2026. All of those are still conditional on Norway’s performance, but they’re the key dates around which Haaland’s tournament schedule is built.

Manchester City Club Context

As of early July 2026, Haaland is also dealing with a left ankle injury that Pep Guardiola said could keep him out for 5–7 weeks from late March. That meant:

  • He was expected to be unavailable through much of April and May.
  • His potential return was pencilled in around late May 2026 , timed for the end of the Premier League season and the Club World Cup in June.

Because the World Cup is in July 2026, and Haaland is already playing for Norway in it, the ankle issue appears to have been resolved or managed so he can compete at the tournament level.
