Portugal vs Spain: Live Stream, TV Channel, and Kickoff Time for World Cup Round of 16

Where to Watch Portugal vs Spain in the World Cup Round of 16

Portugal and Spain face off in a high-stakes Round of 16 match between two European neighbors with a long-standing football rivalry. They have met 41 times before, mostly in friendlies, with their last competitive meeting at the 2025 UEFA Nations League Finals, where Portugal won on penalties.

Both teams come into this match with different momentum. Spain advanced impressively after a 3-0 win over Austria, featuring two goals from Mikel Oyarzabal. Portugal’s journey was tougher; they fell behind in the second half against Croatia but rallied to win 2-1 thanks to a penalty by Cristiano Ronaldo and a late extra-time goal from Gonçalo Ramos.

The victor will reach the quarterfinals, a stage both have reached before—Portugal made it in 2022 but lost to Morocco, while Spain last reached the quarters in 2010 when they took home the trophy.
