Spain vs Belgium World Cup 2026 Quarterfinal: Kickoff Time, TV Channel, and Live Stream Info

The upcoming quarterfinal match pits Spain's tight defense against Belgium's aggressive attack. Spain seeks its first semifinal spot since winning the tournament in 2010, having secured their place with a late winner by Mikel Merino against Portugal. Remarkably, La Roja have not allowed a goal this entire tournament, becoming the first team to reach this stage without conceding since Italy did so in 1990.

Belgium enters the quarterfinals fresh off a commanding 4-1 victory over the United States in the Round of 16. Charles De Ketelaere scored twice, while Romelu Lukaku and Hans Vanaken each added goals, continuing Belgium’s run of scoring three or more goals in three straight matches. This is Belgium's first quarterfinal since their third-place finish in 2018. The Belgian squad aims for its first-ever World Cup title, though historically Spain holds a dominant record, unbeaten 5-0 against Belgium, including a 5-0 win in 2009 World Cup qualifying.

Key players to watch include Mikel Oyarzabal and Lamine Yamal for Spain, alongside Belgium's Romelu Lukaku and Leandro Trossard. Goalkeepers Unai Simon and Thibaut Courtois will likely be busy during this encounter.
