2026 World Cup Daily: Complete Match Schedule and Key Updates

The tournament continues across the United States, Mexico, and Canada with a packed slate of matches. Sunday's schedule features former champions like Spain and Uruguay returning to action, alongside Belgium, which aims to bounce back after a disappointing draw against Egypt.

Saturday's standout moment was the Netherlands' dominant 5–1 victory over Sweden, highlighted by goals from Brian Brobbey, Cody Gakpo, and a late strike from rising star Crysencio Summerville. Meanwhile, Germany rallied in stoppage time to defeat Côte d’Ivoire, powered by a brace from Denis Undav.

Elsewhere, Curaçao secured its first-ever World Cup point by holding Ecuador to a draw, shortly before Japan’s 4–0 win over Tunisia sent the latter home and lifted Japan above Sweden in Group F.

Sunday’s Matches To Watch

• Spain vs. Saudi Arabia kicks off the day. Spain stumbled early with a goalless draw against Cabo Verde and now must avoid another slip-up. Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, impressed by drawing with Uruguay in their opener, making this a crucial match for both sides.
• Belgium faces Iran in Inglewood. Both teams sit on one point in Group G and need a win to improve their chances of progressing. Iran faces unusual travel restrictions, arriving in the U.S. only on match day and needing to leave immediately after, which may affect their performance.
• Uruguay takes on Cabo Verde at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. Cabo Verde stunned many by holding Spain to a draw, but Uruguay will be eager to capitalize and gain an edge in the group.
• The day wraps up with New Zealand vs. Egypt. New Zealand, the lowest-ranked team here, surprised with a 2–2 draw against Iran. Egypt, still seeking its first World Cup victory, meets them with hopes to break that streak.

Key Players and Insights

Lamine Yamal, the Barcelona prodigy for Spain, might feature more on the field than his brief 20-minute appearance in the opener. He is recovering from a hamstring injury but is unlikely to play the full match just yet.

Both Belgium and Iran look determined, knowing a win could secure progression. Belgium no longer holds the dominant reputation it once had, while Iran's players might use travel challenges as motivation.
