The first 48-team tournament in FIFA World Cup history continues its group stage across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The expanded 104-match format requires a packed daily schedule, bringing fans an aggressive slate of quadruple-headers as teams fight to advance.
Monday’s fixtures begin early with Argentina facing Austria at 1 p.m. ET. The afternoon continues when France plays Iraq at 5 p.m. ET. Moving into the evening, Norway takes on Senegal at 8 p.m. ET, and the day closes with a late-night matchup between Jordan and Algeria at 11 p.m. ET.
United States viewers can find English-language coverage locked in on the FOX Sports network, according to CBS News, while Spanish-language broadcasts air across Telemundo and Universo. Global networks are also pushing live coverage to their respective regions, with BBC and ITVX streaming games in the UK, SBS On Demand offering free access in Australia, and RTÉ Player handling the broadcasts in Ireland.
The current points accumulated during this dense group stage will dictate exactly who survives to see the newly introduced Round of 32. This extra knockout phase is scheduled to begin on June 29, replacing the traditional immediate jump to the Round of 16, which is now slated to start on July 4.
