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

France aims to keep up their impressive run as they take on Sweden in the knockout stage of the World Cup. The French team, managed by Didier Deschamps, has been unstoppable so far, cruising past Senegal, Iraq, and Norway while scoring three or more goals in each match.

Kylian Mbappe, chasing the golden boot, has already netted four goals in the group stage and will look to increase his tally against a Swedish side that is considered a long shot in this fixture.

Sweden, coached by Graham Potter, barely made it through as one of the best third-placed teams and faces a tough challenge to upset France’s momentum. The match also marks Deschamps’ return to the sideline after taking a brief break to attend his mother’s funeral.

Match Details

The game kicks off at 10pm BST (5pm ET) on Tuesday, 30 June. It will be held at the New York/New Jersey Stadium.

How to Watch

Fans in the UK can catch the match live on ITV1 or STV for Scottish viewers. Streaming options include ITV X and STV Player.

What’s Next?

The winner will go on to face the victor of the Germany vs Paraguay match, scheduled for Saturday, 4 July in Philadelphia.

Team Updates

France’s William Saliba missed the last game against Norway due to a back issue but is expected to start against Sweden. On Sweden’s side, Isak Hien is doubtful with injury, leading to Victor Lindelof likely shifting from midfield to defense.
