How to watch Australia vs Egypt: Free Streams, TV Channels & Kick-Off time for FIFA World Cup 2026 as Mo Salah races to be fit
Australia and Egypt will meet in a round-of-32 World Cup 2026 clash at AT&T Stadium in Arlington after both teams finished second in their respective groups.
The Socceroos began their campaign with an emphatic 2-0 win over Turkey but then fell to a limp defeat by co-hosts USA. A draw against Paraguay was enough to seal a place in the knockout stage for the third time. Tony Popovic’s side has looked at its best when unleashing 20-year-old Watford forward Nestory Irankunda, while Harry Souttar will again lead the back three. Jacob Italiano and Mathew Leckie are injured.
Egypt, meanwhile, were Group G runners-up on goal difference after collecting five points from three matches. Following a 1-1 draw with Belgium, the Pharaohs beat New Zealand 3-1 – their first win in World Cup history – before another 1-1 draw against Iran secured a first-ever knockout spot. Much will depend on Mohamed Salah, although the Liverpool star is one of a number of injury doubts after picking up a hamstring problem. Mohanad Lasheen definitely misses out through suspension.
One side will make history as neither has won a knockout match before. The victor will face Argentina or Cape Verde, who play later today.
