Portugal vs Croatia (World Cup)

Portugal vs Croatia (World Cup)

Coverage of this FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 tie from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Two familiar European rivals meet in one of the standout knockout fixtures, with Portugal looking to continue their strong tournament form against a Croatia side renowned for its composure and experience on the biggest stage. Croatia have reached the latter stages of the last two World Cups, finishing runners-up in 2018 and third in 2022, while Portugal are aiming to build on their consistent record of reaching the knockout rounds in recent major tournaments. The nations last met in the group stage of Euro 2024, where Portugal edged a tight contest 2-1, and another closely fought encounter is expected with a place in the last 16 at stake.

Switzerland vs Algeria (World Cup)

Switzerland vs Algeria (World Cup)

Coverage of this FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 tie from Lumen Field in Seattle. Switzerland take on Algeria in a fascinating knockout encounter between two well-organised sides looking to reach the last 16. The Swiss have reached the knockout stages in four of the last five World Cups, while Algeria will be hoping to match—or better—their best-ever tournament run after reaching the Round of 16 in 2014, where they pushed eventual champions Germany to extra time before narrowly losing 2-1. With both teams built on defensive discipline and quick transitions, this promises to be a closely contested affair with a place in the quarter-finals on the line

Australia v Egypt (World Cup)

Australia v Egypt (World Cup)

Coverage of the round-of-32 match at Dallas Stadium in the USA. Australia finished second in Group D behind United States after they picked up four points from their three matches. They did lose 2-0 to the co-hosts but a 2-0 victory over Turkiye and a 0-0 draw against Paraguay meant they progressed to the knockout stages for the second successive World Cup. Egypt came through their group undefeated, beating New Zealand and drawing with Belgium and Iran, with the winners expected to face Argentina in the last 16.

3rd July, 2026
Argentina vs Cabo Verde (World Cup)

Argentina vs Cabo Verde (World Cup)

Coverage of the round-of-32 match at Miami Stadium in the USA. Reigning champions Argentina topped Group J with a game to spare after talisman Lionel Messi scored all five of his team's goals in wins over Algeria and Austria. The progress of Cape Verde is arguably the story of the tournament so far, with the unfancied and unheralded minnows reaching this stage at the first attempt, courtesy of draws against Spain, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia.

4th July, 2026
Colombia vs Ghana (World Cup)

Colombia vs Ghana (World Cup)

Coverage of this FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 tie from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Colombia and Ghana meet in the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time, with both nations looking to book their place in the last 16. Colombia reached the quarter-finals in 2014 thanks to the goals of James Rodríguez, while Ghana made history in 2010 by becoming only the third African nation to reach the World Cup quarter-finals. With both sides boasting pace, flair and attacking quality, an entertaining contest is expected as the stakes rise in the first knockout round

Australia v Ireland (Rugby Union - Ireland International)

Australia v Ireland (Rugby Union - Ireland International)

Coverage of the rugby union match at Allianz Stadium in Sydney. Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt will have fond memories of his time in Ireland - he enjoyed a successful six year spell as head coach. His counterpart Andy Farrell has just signed a long term deal to lead the Irish team and will be hoping to build on a largely positive Six Nations campaign which saw them finish second to France. With analysis from Rory Best and George Gregan, and commentary by Martin Gillingham and Gordon D'Arcy

4th July, 2026
South Africa v England (Rugby Union - England International)

South Africa v England (Rugby Union - England International)

Coverage of the rugby union match at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. England have lost their last four games, but will take solace from their much-improved performance against France in March. World champions South Africa's side is packed with talent including Pieter-Steph du Toit, Eben Etzebeth and new fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu. Jill Douglas presents, with analysis from Danny Care and Bryan Habana.

4th July, 2026
Canada vs Morocco (World Cup)

Canada vs Morocco (World Cup)

Coverage of the first round-of-16 match, which takes place at Houston Stadium in the USA. Canada edged past South Africa 1-0 in the last round, in a match that is unlikely to live long in the memory, but the Canadians won't let that bother them, although they'll be underdogs this time against a side looking to emulate their achievements of four years ago, when they reached the semi-finals. Morocco come into this match on the back of a penalty shootout victory over the Netherlands, secured thanks to a late equaliser from Fulham defender Issa Diop

4th July, 2026
Argentina v Scotland (Rugby Union - Scotland International)

Argentina v Scotland (Rugby Union - Scotland International)

All the action from the rugby union match at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Cordoba. Argentina have won three of the five meetings between the teams this decade, including the most recent contest, which saw them prevail 33-24 at Murrayfield last November. Scotland were 14-0 up at half-time on that occasion and extended that lead to 21-0 in the second half, but the Pumas fought back to claim a famous comeback victory.

4th July, 2026
France vs Paragauy (World Cup)

France vs Paragauy (World Cup)

Coverage of the second round-of-16 match, which takes place at Philadelphia Stadium in the USA. The South Americans caused an upset in the last round, providing a defensive masterclass to edge past Germany in a dramatic penalty shootout, following a 1-1 draw. They'll need a similarly heroic display here against France, who are the tournament favourites, bang in form and awash with attacking talent.

5th July, 2026
Brazil vs Norway (World Cup)

Brazil vs Norway (World Cup)

Coverage of the third round-of-16 match, which takes place at New York/New Jersey Stadium in the USA. Brazil came from behind to beat Japan 2-1 in injury-time, having trailed at the break, with goals by Casemiro and Gabriel Martinelli breaking Japanese hearts. Despite not quite reaching their peak yet, Brazil will start as favourites here as they look to move a step closer towards a first World Cup triumph since 2002. Norway had Erling Braut Haaland to thank for a late winner in their last-32 match against Ivory Coast, after Amad Diallo's stunning goal had seemed enough to take the game into extra time.

6th July, 2026
Mexico vs England (World Cup)

Mexico vs England (World Cup)

Coverage of the fourth round-of-16 match, which takes place at Mexico City Stadium. England claimed a 3-0 win over Senegal in the corresponding match of the 2022 World Cup thanks to goals by Jordan Henderson, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane. Should they have defeated DR Congo in the round of 32, the Three Lions will be involved in this contest once again, with Mexico their opponents. The co-hosts beat Ecuador 2-0 in the last round thanks to first-half goals from Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez. Facing the Mexicans at this venue would be a particularly tough test as they have an excellent record here over the years.

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.
