World Cup 2026 live stream: TV Channels and Fixtures worldwide

July 9, 2026

World Cup 2026 live streams are serving up the quarter-final clash between Mbappe’s France and Hakimi’s Morocco today at 9pm BST / 4pm ET.

France will undoubtedly have prepared for the worst. They’ve won four of their six previous meetings with the Atlas Lions, drawing the other two, and Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise have been two of the best players at the World Cup.

The game takes place in extraordinary circumstances, with trust in FIFA at an all-time low. And now, an all-Argentine team of referees has been appointed to officiate this France vs Morocco game.

Every match from here on out is one bad touch, one worldie, or one penalty shootout away from football immortality. France vs Morocco gets the last-eight party started today, with Spain, Belgium, England, Norway, Argentina and Switzerland all still dreaming of lifting the trophy.

Whether you’re watching from your sofa, on your commute or pretending to work (we won’t tell), here’s exactly how to stream every World Cup 2026 live stream.
