Spain vs Belgium: Kickoff Time, TV Channel, and Live Stream for World Cup 2026 Quarterfinal
Spain vs Belgium Quarterfinal Preview
Spain’s strong defense faces Belgium’s vibrant attack in a World Cup quarterfinal that pits a tough defensive side against an offense firing on all cylinders. Spain is aiming to reach the semifinals for the first time since their 2010 triumph. They secured their spot with a late goal by Mikel Merino in the 91st minute against Portugal. Remarkably, Spain has not conceded a single goal during the tournament, becoming the first team to do so at this stage since Italy in 1990.
Belgium comes into the match with impressive form, having beaten the United States 4-1 in the Round of 16. Charles De Ketelaere scored twice, while Romelu Lukaku and Hans Vanaken each added a goal. This win marked Belgium's third consecutive game scoring three or more goals. It’s their first quarterfinal appearance since finishing third in 2018. They hope to claim their first World Cup title, despite Spain holding a perfect 5-0 record over Belgium, including a dominant 5-0 win in 2009 World Cup qualifying.
Key players to watch include Mikel Oyarzabal and Lamine Yamal for Spain, alongside Belgium’s Lukaku and Leandro Trossard. Goalkeepers Unai Simon and Thibaut Courtois have both been tested frequently throughout the tournament.
