FIFA World Cup 2026 June 22 schedule, live match timings (IST), streaming | FIFA World Cup 2026
As the FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage enters its decisive phase, June 22 promises another day packed with high-stakes action across North America. Former champions Argentina will look to tighten their grip on qualification spots, while Belgium, Egypt, Iraq and New Zealand aim to keep their knockout-round hopes alive.
With the expanded 48-team format leaving little margin for error, every point could prove crucial in the race for the Round of 32.
Belgium vs Iran
Belgium head into their Group G clash with Iran knowing that a victory could secure their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 knockout rounds. Despite being held by Egypt in their opening match, the Red Devils remain one of the strongest sides in the group and will be expected to produce a more clinical display.
Led by the experienced midfield trio of Kevin De Bruyne, Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana, Belgium possess the quality to control possession and dictate the tempo of the game. Iran are likely to rely on quick counterattacks, but Belgium’s superior depth and strong recent record, unbeaten in their last 14 international matches, make them favourites to collect all three points in Los Angeles.
Uruguay vs Cape Verde
Uruguay and Cape Verde meet in a crucial Group H encounter with both sides aiming to strengthen their hopes of reaching the Round of 32. Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay were held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Arabia in their opener and will be looking for a more convincing attacking display after struggling to create chances.

New Zealand vs Egypt
New Zealand and Egypt head into their Group G clash in Vancouver searching for a first victory at the 2026 FIFA World Cup after both settled for draws in their opening matches. The All Whites impressed in a 2-2 draw against Iran, with Elijah Just scoring twice, but were unable to hold onto their lead and had to settle for a point.
Egypt experienced similar frustration against Belgium, taking the lead through Emam Ashour after a Mohamed Salah assist before eventually being held to a draw. Both sides showed attacking promise in their openers and will view this encounter as a crucial opportunity to boost their hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
Argentina vs Austria
Argentina head into their second Group J match full of confidence after a commanding 3-0 victory over Algeria, inspired by a stunning Lionel Messi hat-trick that reinforced their status as one of the favourites to retain the FIFA World Cup. Another win would secure a place in the Round of 32, and Lionel Scaloni is expected to stick with the side that impressed in the opener, including the centre-back pairing of Lisandro Martinez and Cristian Romero. Julian Alvarez could again start on the bench.
Austria also began with a win, beating Jordan 3-1, and veteran striker Marko Arnautovic is pushing for a start after making a decisive impact off the bench in the opening match.
