Portugal vs Croatia World Cup 2026: TV Channel, Live Stream, Kick-Off Time
Portugal and Croatia face off in Toronto on the early morning of Friday, 3 July 2026. Both teams are aiming to secure a place in the World Cup last 16.
Portugal went unbeaten during the group stage with one win and two draws. Managed by Roberto Martinez, they finished second behind Colombia in Group K. Portugal reached the quarter-finals in Qatar 2022 but failed to advance past the round of 16 in their three prior World Cups.
Martinez will be eager to surpass that record as Portugal aims for their best-ever result: reaching the semi-finals. The winner of this match is likely to meet Spain, one of the tournament favourites, in the next round.
Croatia claimed two wins out of three in their group games, finishing second behind England in Group L. They have impressed in recent tournaments, finishing runners-up in 2018 and reaching the semi-finals before winning the third-place playoff in 2022.
