7th July, 2026
USA vs Belgium (World Cup)

USA vs Belgium (World Cup)

Coverage of the sixth round-of-16 match, which takes place at Seattle Stadium in the USA. The USA have made the most of home advantage and have made serene progress through to this stage, including a 2-0 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last round. They will fancy their chances against a Belgian side who have looked a shadow of their former selves, but who pulled off a remarkable win against Senegal in the last 32, having been 2-0 down heading into the final minutes.

7th July, 2026
Argentina vs Egypt (World Cup)

Argentina vs Egypt (World Cup)

Coverage of the seventh round-of-16 match, which takes place at Atlanta Stadium in the USA. Argentina were involved a remarkable last-16 match, edging past minnows Cape Verde 3-2 after extra-time, with the tournament debutantes making sure they would be remembered as one of the highlights of these finals. Egypt needed a penalty shootout to beat Australia in the last round, breaking new ground by winning a World Cup finals knockout match for the first time.

7th July, 2026
Switzerland vs Colombia (World Cup)

Switzerland vs Colombia (World Cup)

Coverage of the eighth round-of-16 match, which takes place at BC Place Vancouver in Canada. Switzerland had a game to forget at the corresponding stage of the 2022 World Cup when they were thrashed 6-1 by Portugal. However, they will be hopeful of a much stronger showing this time around, having topped a group containing Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar, before easing past Algeria 2-0 in the round of 32. Colombia have only scored five goals in their four matches, but that was enough for them to top their group and also beat Ghana 1-0 in the last round

9th July, 2026
France vs Morocco (World Cup)

France vs Morocco (World Cup)

Coverage of the first quarter-final, which takes place at Boston Stadium in the USA, and is a repeat of the 2022 semi-final. Morocco made it through thanks to a 3-0 victory against co-hosts Canada on Saturday, upping their game in the second half after a goalless first period, and proving that their progression at the World Cup in Qatar was no fluke. They do, however, have to find a way past the tournament favourites, who were relieved to edge past Paraguay in the last round, in a match in which the South Americans tested every ounce of patience that Les Bleus possessed, with just a Kylian Mbappe separating the sides.

10th July, 2026
Belgium vs Spain (World Cup)

Belgium vs Spain (World Cup)

Coverage of the second FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Two of Europe's footballing heavyweights go head-to-head for a place in the semi-finals, with Spain looking to add another chapter to their proud World Cup history against a talented Belgian side eager to reach the last four. Spain have progressed from each of their last four World Cup quarter-finals, while Belgium are aiming to equal their best-ever finish after claiming third place in 2018. With both nations boasting exceptional technical quality and attacking talent, this promises to be one of the standout ties of the tournament.

11th July, 2026
Japan vs Ireland (Rugby Union - Ireland International)

Japan vs Ireland (Rugby Union - Ireland International)

Coverage of both teams' second round-robin match, held at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle, Australia. Japan coach Eddie Jones returns to the dugout after serving a four-match suspension, but his team will have to be at their best to defeat Ireland, who won 41-10 when the teams met in Dublin last November. With analysis from Rory Best and Stuart Lancaster, and commentary by Martin Gillingham and Gordon D'Arcy

11th July, 2026
South Africa vs Scotland (Rugby Union - Scotland International)

South Africa vs Scotland (Rugby Union - Scotland International)

Coverage of the round-robin match at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria. Scotland face a daunting task away to the world champions, who have won the last nine meetings between the sides. The most recent of those contests was a 32-15 victory for the Springboks in a 2024 autumn international at Murrayfield.

11th July, 2026
Norway vs England (World Cup)

Norway vs England (World Cup)

Coverage of the third quarter-final, which takes place at Miami Stadium in the USA. This is a step into the unknown for the Norwegians, who have never made it to a World Cup quarter-final, and did so in style, beating Brazil 2-0 in the last round, courtesy of two more goal from Erling Haaland. England overcame several obstacles to win 3-2 against Mexico in the last 16, producing one of their finest performances to hold on and book a quarter-final place, with Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham once again among the goals
