FIFA World Cup 2026 QF today's matches, live timings (IST), streaming

England vs Norway (2:30 AM IST) and Argentina vs Switzerland (6:30 AM IST)

The final two quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup 2026 promise high-quality European clashes and plenty of drama as four teams battle for the remaining semifinal spots. England take on a fearless Norway side inspired by Erling Haaland, while defending champions Argentina face a disciplined Switzerland outfit aiming to make history. 

 

With France and Spain already through to the last four, the winners of these two encounters will complete the semifinal lineup. As the stakes rise and the margin for error disappears, every moment could prove decisive in two blockbuster contests featuring some of the biggest names in world football.

 

 

England vs Norway

 

Norway and England meet in a blockbuster FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinal at Hard Rock Stadium, with a place in the last four at stake. England heads into the contest on the back of a thrilling 3-2 victory over co-hosts Mexico, while Norway stunned five-time champions Brazil 2-1 to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in their history.

 

Thomas Tuchel's side has won six of its last seven matches and has shown a clinical edge despite conceding possession in recent games. Norway, meanwhile, has impressed with its attacking football, led by Erling Haaland, who has scored seven goals at the tournament. Ståle Solbakken's men possess a fully fit squad, while England has injury concerns and will miss suspended defender Jarell Quansah, making this an intriguing battle between two in-form European sides. 

 

Argentina vs Switzerland

 

Argentina continue the defence of their FIFA World Cup title when they face Switzerland in the quarterfinals on Saturday in Kansas City, with a place in the last four on the line. Lionel Scaloni's side survived a major scare in the round of 16, coming from 2-0 down to beat Egypt 3-2 thanks to goals from Cristian Romero, Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernández. 

 

The victory extended Argentina's winning streak to 12 matches and maintained their unbeaten run in World Cup games since their opening defeat at Qatar 2022. Switzerland have impressed with their defensive discipline, progressing after topping Group B and edging Colombia on penalties. Murat Yakin's side has yet to trail in the tournament but faces a daunting challenge against the reigning world champions, who have never lost to Switzerland in seven previous meetings.
