How to Watch France vs Spain | World Cup 2026 Semi-Final | July 14
The World Cup 2026 semi-final between France and Spain is set to be a memorable clash. These two European powerhouses meet in Texas on July 14, with the winner earning a spot in the final. Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 CET.
Match Background
France has been dominant throughout the tournament. Under Didier Deschamps, they topped Group I with nine points and then beat Sweden (3-0), Paraguay (1-0), and Morocco (2-0) in the knockout rounds without conceding. This marks their eighth semi-final appearance, second only to Italy. Winning here would send them to their third consecutive final and offer a chance to redeem their penalty shootout loss to Argentina in Qatar.
Spain had a slow start with a draw against Cape Verde but recovered to top Group H. They have since shown strength, beating Austria (3-0), Portugal (1-0), and Belgium (2-1) in the knockouts. Mikel Merino scored late winners in the last two matches. La Roja remain unbeaten in regulation time over 36 games, aiming to match Italy’s all-time record of 37 undefeated matches.
Historically, Spain leads this matchup, winning 18 out of 38 encounters, including seven of the last ten. Their recent victories in Euro 2024 (2-1) and the 2025 UEFA Nations League final (5-4) were both semi-final wins. Ousmane Dembélé leads France’s scoring with five goals in this tournament, while Lamine Yamal has three goals against France in previous meetings.
