It\u2019s crunch time at the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a> with teams throughout the 48-strong field looking to stay in contention for the knockout stage or improve their placing in the round of 32.<\/p>\n

After Tuesday\u2019s matches in groups K and L, the final games of group play will kick off Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The U.S., Mexico, Argentina and Germany have already clinched spots in the round of 32 by winning their respective groups. France and Norway also are advancing. Haiti, Tunisia, Turkey and Jordan, however, have been eliminated from knockout-round contention.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about matches being played Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the World Cup across the U.S., Mexico and Canada (all times Pacific).<\/p>\n

\"\" Tuesday\u2019s Group K matchups:Portugal vs. Uzbekistan \"Portugal's <\/p>\n

TV: Fox, Telemundo<\/p>\n

The buzz: Cristiano Ronaldo entered this World Cup with visions of winning his first title. But he\u2019ll go home early and empty-handed unless fifth-ranked Portugal improves on the listless performance it had in a draw with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Uzbekistan, playing in its first World Cup, was not intimidated by the big stage, weathering a withering Colombia attack in a 3-1 loss. Expect it to bunker in again against Portugal.<\/p>\n

Time: 7 p.m.
TV: FS1, Telemundo<\/p>\n

The buzz: The Democratic Republic of the Congo\u2019s only other World Cup appearance came in 1974, when the country was known as Zaire; it lost all three games and didn\u2019t score a goal. It\u2019s already done better with Yoane Wissa\u2019s score in first-half stoppage time giving the team a point against Portugal. A win here and it\u2019s through to the knockout phase. The same is true of Colombia, which got a 65th-minute goal from Luis D\u00edaz and another from substitute J\u00e1minton Campaz deep in stoppage time to beat stubborn Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s Group L matchups:England vs. Ghana \"England's <\/p>\n

Time: 1 p.m.
TV: Fox, Telemundo<\/p>\n

The buzz: England opened its World Cup with a surprisingly comfortable win over Croatia behind two goals from captain Harry Kane. But the Three Lions are only equal atop the table with Ghana, which got a goal deep in stoppage time from Caleb Yirenkyi to beat Panama. If there\u2019s a winner, it probably will decide the group. A point likely sends both teams through.<\/p>\n

The buzz: Croatia has played in two straight World Cup semifinals, but that streak is in jeopardy after a 4-2 loss to England. Panama outshot, outpassed and outpossessed Ghana in its first game but came away with nothing after conceding a goal in stoppage time, leaving the Central Americans still looking for their first World Cup win.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s Group A matchups:Mexico vs. Czechia \"Mexico's <\/p>\n

Time: 6 p.m.
TV: Fox, Telemundo<\/p>\n

The buzz: Mexico has already won the group, securing a round-of-32 game in the friendly confines of Azteca Stadium. That gives it a chance to rest its starters. Czechia could still finish as high as second, but it needs to win.<\/p>\n

South Africa vs. South Korea \"South <\/p>\n

The buzz: South Africa can vault over South Korea and finish second in the group with a win. Anything short of that and its World Cup is over. South Korea, meanwhile, needs at least a point to hold on to the runner-up spot and a trip to L.A. for the round of 32.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s Group B matchups:Switzerland vs. Canada \"Canada's <\/p>\n

Time: Noon
TV: Fox, Telemundo<\/p>\n

The buzz: Both teams are all but assured of going through to the next round, but there\u2019s still a lot at stake. If Canada, which blitzed Qatar for its first-ever World Cup victory, wins or draws against Switzerland, it will win the group and play its round-of-32 game in Vancouver. A loss would send Canada to the U.S. for the rest of the tournament. Given Canada\u2019s superior goal differential, the Swiss must win to take the group.<\/p>\n

Bosnia-Herzegovina vs. Qatar \"Bosnia <\/p>\n

Time: Noon
TV: FS1, Universo<\/p>\n

The buzz: Both teams, winless so far, need a victory to have a chance at reaching the round of 32. A draw would leave each with two points, which probably won\u2019t be enough. Qatar is still looking for its first goal, with its only score coming on a Swiss own goal in the group-stage opener.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s Group C matchups:Scotland vs. Brazil \"Brazil's <\/p>\n

Time: 3 p.m.
TV: Fox, Telemundo<\/p>\n

The buzz: Brazil leads the group on goal differential but a loss could drop it to third, making the journey through the knockout stages much more difficult. Scotland could finish anywhere from first to third. Unless Brazil wins in a blowout, Scotland likely will advance beyond the group stage for the first time.<\/p>\n

Morocco vs. Haiti \"Morocco's <\/p>\n

Time: 3 p.m.
TV: FS1, Universo<\/p>\n

The buzz: Morocco, riding a 39-game unbeaten streak, has some work to do if it wants to win the group since it enters the final day trailing Brazil on goal differential. That means it must not only beat Haiti, it has to make up a two-goal deficit on Brazil as well. Haiti\u2019s tournament is over no matter what it does in this game but a point would be its first in a World Cup.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s Group D matchups:U.S. vs. Turkey \"U.S. <\/p>\n

Time: 7 p.m.
TV: Fox, Telemundo<\/p>\n

The buzz: There\u2019s not much at stake since the U.S. has won the group and Turkey has been eliminated. Expect the U.S. to rest many of its regulars, especially those with yellow cards, while Turkey will be chasing its first World Cup win since 2002, when it finished third.<\/p>\n

Paraguay vs. Australia \"Paraguay <\/p>\n

Time: 7 p.m.
TV: FS1, Universo<\/p>\n

The buzz: The winner finishes second in the group and will go through to the elimination rounds. Australia, with an edge in goal differential, would get the second spot in the event of a draw. It\u2019s not a do-or-die game for either team since three points could be enough to advance.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s Group E matchups:Ecuador vs. Germany \"Germany's <\/p>\n

Time: 1 p.m.
TV: Fox, Telemundo<\/p>\n

The buzz: Germany is already through to the knockout stages while Ecuador could finish second and clinch a spot in the round of 32 with a win coupled with an Ivory Coast loss or draw. However, that would require Ivory Coast losing or drawing. A victory could send Ecuador on as a third-place team no matter what Ivory Coast does, but that path is less certain.<\/p>\n

TV: FS1, Universo<\/p>\n

The buzz: Ivory Coast is all but through to the knockout round, at least as a third-place team. But a draw would give it the No. 2 spot in the group and an easier route through the knockout stages. Cura\u00e7ao still has a chance of advancing despite having been outscored 7-1, and it could finish second with a win and an Ecuador loss.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s Group F matchups:Tunisia vs. Netherlands \"Netherlands' <\/p>\n

Time: 4 p.m.
TV: FS1, Telemundo<\/p>\n

The buzz: Tunisia has lost two games under two coaches \u2014 getting outscored 9-1 in the process \u2014 and can\u2019t advance. But there\u2019s much at stake for the Dutch, who can finish anywhere from first to third depending on the results of the final group-stage games. The Netherlands and Japan are tied on points, wins and goal differential and played to a draw in their head-to-head match, so whoever does better on the final day wins the group.<\/p>\n

Japan vs. Sweden \"Japan's <\/p>\n

Where: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas
Time: 4 p.m.
TV: Fox, Universo<\/p>\n

The buzz: Both teams are assured of a top-three finish and a likely spot in the next round, but a win could secure first in the group. Although Japan and the Netherlands are the favorites to win the group, Sweden could overtake both with a win, provided the Dutch do no better than a draw.<\/p>\n
