Spain vs Austria: Live Stream, TV Channel, and Kickoff Time for World Cup Round of 32
The reigning European champions Spain are set to clash with Austria in the Round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup. Spain aims to regain their past World Cup strength, while Austria, who scraped through thanks to a stoppage-time equalizer, seeks to continue their surprising run.
Spain’s Group Stage Performance
Spain topped Group H but never appeared completely dominant. Their campaign started with a scoreless draw against Cape Verde, followed by an impressive 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia and a tight 1-0 victory versus Uruguay. Leading scorers include Mikel Oyarzabal with two goals and Lamine Yamal adding one more. Spain’s last World Cup triumph was in 2010; since then, they have exited in the round of 16 twice, losing to Morocco in 2022 and Russia in 2018.
Austria’s Road to the Knockout Stage
Austria advanced as runners-up from Group J in dramatic fashion. They secured their spot with a thrilling 3-3 draw against Algeria, where Sasa Kalajdzic scored an equalizer deep into second-half stoppage time. This is Austria’s first World Cup appearance since 1998, a tournament where they exited in the group stage. Historically, their best finishes were fourth place in 1934 and third in 1954. Key contributors this year are Marko Arnautovic, who has two goals, alongside midfielders Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer.
