Next World Cup game

France vs Spain

The next World Cup game is France vs Spain in the semifinal on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. See the kickoff time in your timezone, venue information, countdown, and the remaining World Cup schedule.

The listed kickoff is 19:00 UTC. The live local-time line in the match card uses your browser timezone, so it can show the correct date as well as the local hour. Select a different timezone if you are planning a watch party with friends in another country. The venue is Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

This page is designed to answer the practical questions around a kickoff: who is playing, when the game starts, where it is being played and what comes next. The countdown is a live client-side display, while the fixture identity and venue are rendered in the page HTML so search engines and screen readers can understand the match without relying on the animation.

France’s previous result was a 2–0 quarterfinal win against Mexico at Hard Rock Stadium. Spain’s previous result was a 1–2 quarterfinal loss to Argentina at SoFi Stadium. That makes this semifinal a meeting of two different routes through the knockout bracket, with a place in the final at stake.

The next possible opponent is determined by the other semifinal: the winner of that match will meet the France–Spain winner in the final at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, July 19.
