For the first time since the tournament began, there will be no World Cup matches today, surprising fans accustomed to a frenetic pace of daily games. After weeks of intense football, with 96 matches played in less than a month, the competition is taking a break, providing a rare moment of rest for players, coaching staff, and supporters.
The 2026 World Cup, featuring 48 teams in this expanded edition, has already seen two-thirds of the participants qualify for the knockout stage, keeping the excitement high. With standout victories, such as Argentina's wins in the knockout rounds and England's dramatic success against Mexico in Mexico City, the tournament has provided constant entertainment, even as the number of competing teams decreases.
Today marks a rest day between the Round of 16 and the quarter-finals. The tournament resumes on Thursday, with the highly anticipated clash between France and Morocco, a rematch four years after both teams faced off in the semi-finals. Another quarter-final match will follow on Friday, and two games will take place on Saturday, before another day of rest on Sunday, as the World Cup approaches its final stretch.
For fans who don't want to miss a moment, the 2026 World Cup matches can be watched in English on Fox or FS1 channels, as well as on the digital platforms Fox One and Fox Sports, with streaming available via fubo, which offers a free trial period. For those who prefer to follow the competition in Spanish, broadcasts are available on Telemundo, with streaming options on both fubo and Peacock.
Despite the absence of World Cup matches today, sports fans have alternatives available on national networks, including broadcasts of the Wimbledon tournament, Major League Baseball (MLB), and the WNBA. With the decisive phase of the World Cup about to begin, anticipation is high for the clashes that will determine the semifinalists of this historic edition.
