Spain vs Austria: Live Stream, TV Channel, and Kickoff Time for World Cup Round of 32

The reigning European champions, Spain, are set to clash with a determined Austria squad in the Round of 32. Spain topped Group H but showed inconsistency with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, followed by a dominant 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia and a tight 1-0 victory against Uruguay.

Mikel Oyarzabal leads Spain’s attack with two goals, complemented by Lamine Yamal’s contribution. After claiming the World Cup title in 2010, Spain has stumbled in recent tournaments, exiting in the Round of 16 in both 2018 and 2022.

Austria advanced from Group J in dramatic fashion, thanks to a last-minute equalizer by Sasa Kalajdzic in a 3-3 draw with Algeria. Their previous World Cup appearance was back in 1998, with their best historical results being fourth place in 1934 and third in 1954. Marko Arnautovic spearheads the team with two goals, while Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer anchor the midfield as Austria aims for an upset.
