How to watch FIFA World Cup games today

Watch Australia vs Egypt

Neither Australia nor Egypt have a clean World Cup record going into this game, though Egypt’s looks a little on paper with a win and two draws. Australia has a win, a draw, and a loss heading into this matchup.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Argentina vs Cape Verde

Cape Verde is having a memorable World Cup run, but it’ll be facing quite the test in an Argentina team that is seemingly always a major World Cup contender. Both teams have a lot to lose, and one shot to move forward.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Columbia vs Ghana

Columbia certainly has more momentum going into this game, with two wins and a draw versus Ghana’s win, draw, and a loss. But both survived the Group Stage, and anything can happen in the knockout rounds.

Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
