Spain vs Belgium is the second quarter-final match of the 2026 World Cup, after France beat Morocco yesterday evening.

Spain enter the fixture having knocked out Portugal in a 1-0 win, while Belgium battered co-hosts USA by a 4-1 score-line.

This should be a high-quality match at the tournament, but which pundits, commentators and presenters will compliment the event?

Spain vs Belgium will kick off at 8pm BST, broadcast by the BBC with a full line-up of pundits, commentators and presenters.

The winner of the event, which is being held at the SoFi Stadium, will play Didier Deschamps' France in the semi-final.

Presenting the event is Kelly Cates, who boasts an impressive, multi-decade-long broadcasting career and is Sir Kenny Dalglish's eldest daughter.

Joining her as pundits are three former professionals, all of whom have enjoyed playing World Cup football.

The first is Wayne Rooney, once England's highest goalscorer before a certain Harry Kane stamped his mark in Three Lions history, who ranks highly in FourFourTwo's World Cup punditry tier-list.

Next is Micah Richards, known for his broadcasting, and podcasting, career across more channels than you can likely think of.

Third is Cesar Azpilicueta, former Spain international and Chelsea man, whose insights have been among the best this tournament.

Serving as the match's main voice is Steve Wilson, a staple presence for the BBC across North America this tournament.

And joining him as co-commentator for the quarter-final showdown is the ever-iconic Stephen Warnock.

FourFourTwo have also written a prediction for the match, and a profile on the event's referee.
