Watch World Cup 2026 quarter-finals as the competition heads towards a pivotal stage. Forty-eight countries have been whittled down to the final eight, and while the top four seeded teams remain, we could still be in for a few shocks over the coming four days.
Here's how to watch World Cup 2026 quarter-finals for free from anywhere.
- Today's game (9th July):
– France vs Morocco - Free on ITV (UK) / SBS (AUS) - Watch from anywhere: Get Norton VPN (60-day money back guarantee)
Thursday kicks it all off as France face Morocco at the Boston Stadium in Foxborough. The French have arguably been the standout side so far, winning every game with something to spare. That won't make their clash against a stubborn Morocco side any easier, though, and if Mohamed Ouahbi's men can make it difficult, you wouldn't be surprised if the Atlas Lions pulled off a shock.
Then Friday takes us to California for an all-European clash between Spain and Belgium, before the big one on Saturday as Thomas Tuchel's England face Norway in Miami. The Norwegians will no doubt pose a serious threat going forward with Erling Haaland leading the line, but England will be confident they can outscore them at the other end.
It all concludes on Sunday as Argentina take on Switzerland. Lionel Messi's side have flirted with elimination in both of their knockout ties, yet they're still standing. Will Switzerland be the team to end that run?
