FIFA World Cup 2026 June 21 schedule, live match timings (IST), streaming | FIFA World Cup 2026

The FIFA World Cup 2026 action continues on Sunday, June 21, with four matches across Groups E, F and H.

Four-time champions Germany headline the day’s schedule with a clash against Ivory Coast, while Ecuador take on Curaçao in the second Group E fixture. In Group F, Tunisia face Japan before Spain meet Saudi Arabia in the final game of the day.

With the group stage gathering momentum, several sides will be aiming to strengthen their qualification chances with another positive result.

Germany look to build on winning start 

Germany head into their Group E clash against Ivory Coast after beginning their campaign with an emphatic 7-1 victory over Curaçao. Julian Nagelsmann is expected to retain the core of the side that impressed in the opener, with Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz leading the attack. Germany had suffered a setback before the tournament when young midfielder Lennart Karl withdrew through injury and was replaced by Assan Ouédraogo.

Ecuador and Curaçao seek first points

The second Group E fixture sees Ecuador take on World Cup debutants Curaçao.

Ecuador will be eager to bounce back after suffering defeat to Ivory Coast in their opening game and are expected to rely heavily on Moisés Caicedo and Piero Hincapié as they chase their first points of the tournament.

Curaçao, meanwhile, are also searching for a response after conceding seven goals against Germany in their opening match. The Caribbean nation will hope to tighten up defensively and make a stronger impression in their second-ever World Cup outing.

Japan eye first win as Tunisia begin new era under Renard

Japan and Tunisia meet in Group F in what will be the 1,000th match in FIFA World Cup history. The Samurai Blue produced an impressive 2-2 draw against the Netherlands in their opener and will once again look to the likes of Takefusa Kubo, Kaoru Mitoma and Daichi Kamada for inspiration.

Tunisia, meanwhile, are attempting to recover from a 5-1 defeat to Sweden and have responded by appointing experienced French coach Hervé Renard in place of Sabri Lamouchi. The North Africans know another defeat would leave their qualification hopes hanging by a thread.

Spain seek sharper edge against resilient Saudi Arabia

Spain head into their Group H encounter against Saudi Arabia under pressure after being held to a goalless draw by World Cup debutants Cabo Verde. Goalkeeper David Raya has urged La Roja to be more clinical, while coach Luis de la Fuente could hand bigger roles to Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams as Spain search for their first win. However, Yamal has admitted he is not yet ready to play a full 90 minutes after recently returning from injury.

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, earned a creditable 1-1 draw against Uruguay in their opening match and will take confidence from that performance. Coach Georgios Donis is expected to stick with the same line-up as the Green Falcons aim to strengthen their chances of reaching the knockout stage.
