The 2026 FIFA World Cup continues on Sunday with four group stage matches as Spain, Belgium, Uruguay, and New Zealand face critical second-round fixtures. For Spain, the day is about recovering from the shock of a 0-0 draw with Cape Verde. For Belgium and New Zealand, it is about building on opening-round draws. For Uruguay, it is a must-not-lose situation after failing to beat Saudi Arabia.

Spain versus Saudi Arabia kicks off at noon ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The marquee fixture of the day, with Spain’s tournament trajectory depending on how they respond to their poor start, against a Saudi side that showed against Uruguay they can take a point from anyone.
Belgium face Iran at 3 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. All four teams in Group G drew their opening matches, leaving the group completely level. A win for either side here creates real separation in what has been a tightly contested pool. Iran remain the only team at the tournament operating under active diplomatic travel restrictions on their time in the United States.
Uruguay take on Cape Verde at 6 p.m. ET in Miami at Hard Rock Stadium. Uruguay need a win to keep their campaign alive after a frustrating draw with Saudi Arabia. Cape Verde travel as the side that has already surprised Spain and will relish the role of underdog again.
New Zealand and Egypt play the final match of the day at 9 p.m. ET in Vancouver. Both sides sit on one point each and need a win to keep their knockout stage hopes serious. With Mexico already qualified from Group A, there is genuine urgency across every other group at this stage of the tournament.
Across all four matches on Day 11, 18 points are available and the results could reshape multiple group standings significantly. The USA and Scotland have already secured knockout stage spots. Brazil and the Netherlands are close. Sunday will clarify which other nations are genuinely competing. Full schedules are on the official FIFA World Cup site.
