France vs Sweden: TV Details, Kick-Off Time, and How to Watch World Cup Round of 32

France Takes on Sweden in World Cup Round of 32

The stage is set for France to extend their strong group-stage run as they meet Sweden in the World Cup last-32. Under Graham Potter’s management, Sweden enters as clear underdogs against a French side that has looked unstoppable so far.

Les Bleus cruised through the group phase with wins over Senegal, Iraq, and Norway, scoring three or more goals in each match. Their star forward Kylian Mbappe aims to increase his tally, already at four goals in the tournament.

Sweden managed to sneak into the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams but faces a tough challenge if they want to progress further. Didier Deschamps returns to lead France after a brief break due to a family bereavement.

The clash kicks off at 10pm BST (5pm ET) on Tuesday, 30 June. The venue is the New York/New Jersey Stadium.

Team Updates

William Saliba, who missed the last group game due to a back problem, is expected to return to France’s starting lineup. Sweden’s only injury concern is Isak Hien, with Victor Lindelof likely to shift from midfield to defense in his place.
