The FIFA World Cup 2026 enters a pivotal week of group stage matches on Monday with a fresh slate of top contenders today, including Lionel Messi with Argentina and Kylian Mbappé with France – neither of which has locked in a spot in the Round of 32.
Here’s today’s full game schedule, latest key results from the weekend, how to watch every match live on TV and where to stream.
This weekend’s games brought a mix of dominant wins and crucial draws across North America, with Spain rebounding in emphatic fashion, routing Saudi Arabia 4-0 after its opening draw, while Uruguay was held again in a 2-2 result with Cabo Verde — keeping Group H wide open.
Belgium continued to stall with a 0-0 draw against Iran, and Egypt picked up momentum with a 3-1 win over New Zealand.
Some other big wins this weekend included the Netherland’s crushing 5-1 win over Sweden, Japan’s 4-0 win over Tunisia and Germany pulled off a difficult 2-1 win over Ivory Coast to secure their advancement to the Round of 32.
Many groups are still lacking clear frontrunners for the Round of 32, except for Germany, USA and Mexico – which have already made it.
On Monday, Argentina enters as the defending champion looking to build on its opening win, while France — powered by Mbappé — is heavily favored again after its strong start.
Norway vs. Senegal could be one of the day’s most competitive matchups, with both sides chasing control of Group I, while Algeria looks to respond after a loss in its opener.
