2026 World Cup Daily: Complete Match Schedule and Key Updates

The second Sunday of the 2026 World Cup is packed with action across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Former champions like Spain and Uruguay will be in the spotlight, along with Belgium, which aims to bounce back after a disappointing draw with Egypt.

The Netherlands grabbed attention on Saturday by routing Sweden 5–1, powered by two goals from Brian Brobbey and Cody Gakpo, plus a late strike from winger Crysencio Summerville. Meanwhile, Germany staged a late comeback to beat Côte d’Ivoire in added time, thanks to two goals from Denis Undav, a former Brighton & Hove Albion player.

Elsewhere, Curaçao earned their first point of the tournament by holding Ecuador to a draw, while Japan crushed Tunisia 4–0, knocking Tunisia out and pushing Sweden into the top two spots in Group F.

Sunday’s Fixture List

  • Spain vs Saudi Arabia
  • Belgium vs Iran in Inglewood
  • Uruguay vs Cabo Verde at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami
  • New Zealand vs Egypt

Spain faces pressure to improve after a surprising 0-0 draw with Cabo Verde in their opening game. Their meeting with Saudi Arabia, who also drew against Uruguay, could shake up Group E as all four teams currently have one point each.

Lamine Yamal, the young Barcelona talent, may see more playing time but admitted he isn’t ready for a full match yet due to ongoing hamstring recovery.

Group G holds promise for both Belgium and Iran, who are tied on points and eager to secure a win that would likely ensure progression. The Iranian team faces unique challenges; they were only allowed entry into the U.S. on Saturday and must leave immediately after their game, which the Iranian federation claims puts them at a disadvantage.

Cabo Verde remains a surprise package following their draw with Spain, but facing Uruguay will test if they can keep up the momentum against stronger opposition.

The day wraps up with New Zealand, the lowest-ranked team in the tournament, going up against Egypt, which is still chasing its first World Cup victory. New Zealand impressed with a 2-2 draw against Iran and hopes to maintain that form.
