England's 39‑match winning run ends in 26‑26 draw with Canada at WXV Global Series

England’s record of 39 consecutive victories, which began after the 2022 World Cup final loss to New Zealand, was halted when Canada held the hosts to a 26‑26 draw in the WXV Global Series. The match, played in front of a large crowd, saw both teams exchange goals in a back‑and‑forth contest that kept fans on the edge of their seats. England’s defense, which had been a key factor in their long streak, was tested by Canada’s aggressive attack, leading to a stalemate that marked the first time England has failed to win in over three years. The result will prompt the coaching staff to reassess tactics ahead of upcoming international fixtures and the next stage of the global competition.
