Portugal face Serbia in their second 2026 World Cup group match on Friday June 20 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with kick-off at 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. Pacific, 2 a.m. BST on Saturday. Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Portugal come into the match after drawing 1-1 with DR Congo in their opener, a result that left manager Roberto Martinez seeking improvement heading into what is effectively a must-win fixture.

In the United States, FS1 carries the match in English, with Telemundo broadcasting in Spanish. FS1 is available on cable and satellite and streams through the Fox Sports app for authenticated subscribers. Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV also carry FS1 and are available without a long-term contract. The 9 p.m. ET kick-off is a late match in the East but a prime-time fixture on the West Coast.

In the United Kingdom, BBC One is carrying the Portugal match with free streaming on BBC iPlayer, though the 2 a.m. BST kick-off makes it a late-night viewing proposition for British fans. In Portugal, RTP and Sport TV share broadcast rights, with this match on RTP1 free-to-air and available on the RTP Play streaming app for all Portuguese-registered viewers. In Serbia, RTS holds public broadcasting rights and is showing the match live.

In Brazil, Globo and SporTV share 2026 World Cup rights. In India, JioHotstar is the primary streaming platform for the tournament, with Sony Sports Network holding linear television rights. The 6:30 a.m. IST Saturday morning kick-off means Indian viewers will need to be early risers to catch the match live.

Ronaldo played all 90 minutes of the DR Congo draw and expressed frustration afterward that Portugal had not been more clinical in front of goal. He has yet to score in the tournament and his motivation to add to his record international goal tally will sharpen his focus against Serbia. Martinez is expected to make two changes from the opener, bringing in Bernardo Silva from the start and moving Ronaldo into a slightly more central position. Portugal’s 1-1 draw with DR Congo was one of the bigger surprises of the opening round, with DR Congo becoming the first African nation to take a point off Portugal at a World Cup.

Serbia, coached by Dragan Stojkovic, feature Dusan Vlahovic as their primary striker and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as their midfield engine. Their physical, direct style makes them dangerous at set pieces and they will look to exploit any uncertainty in the Portuguese backline from dead ball situations. A positive result against Portugal would be one of the tournament’s headline upsets.

Levi’s Stadium holds 68,500 for football. The fixture is the final match of Friday’s World Cup schedule, meaning results from earlier in the day could affect what both teams need from the game. France vs Nigeria and Sweden vs Japan both kick off earlier on Friday, with the full evening of four simultaneous fixtures giving fans four hours of uninterrupted World Cup football.
