The World Cup last-32 game between Mexico and Ecuador at the Estadio Azteca on Tuesday has been delayed by heavy rain, a message on the stadium scoreboard said.
"The match has been delayed," said the message. The game was due to kick off at 0100 GMT but no new time was given.
It is the first time at the 2026 tournament co-hosted by Mexico, the United States and Canada that the start of a game has been delayed due to the weather.
The group game between France and Iraq in Philadelphia on June 22 was interrupted at half-time for around two hours due to storms.
