19:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Switzerland v Bosnia and Herzegovina (Kick-off 8.00pm). Jacqui Hurley presents coverage of the Group B match at Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood, USA. The Swiss won two of their three group matches in Qatar four years ago, overcoming both Cameroon and Serbia as they finished second to Brazil on account of their loss to the South Americans, but they then suffered a heavy 6-1 loss to Portugal in the last-16. However, having progressed beyond the group stage at every World Cup and Euro tournament finals since 2014, the Rossocrociati will have high hopes of continuing that streak. The Bosnians failed to progress from the group stage at their only previous finals in Brazil in 2014, when a 3-1 victory over Iran in their final group game proved to be too little, too late after suffering losses to Argentina and Nigeria, and prior to this event that remains their only experience of major tournament football |
| 22:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Canada v Qatar (Kick-off 11.00pm). Coverage of the Group B match at BC Place Vancouver in Canada. There has only ever been one previous meeting between these nations, a 2022 friendly match in Vienna that saw just 150 people in attendance as Canada claimed a 2-0 victory. There will doubtless be many more to witness tonight's clash in an arena that boasts a capacity in excess of 54,000, with the vast majority of those supporting the co-hosts and aiming to inspire them to victory over a side that, like them, had never won a World Cup finals match prior to the commencement of this tournament. Canada also played a group match here in the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup almost one year ago to the day and, on that occasion, they claimed a comprehensive 6-0 victory over Honduras | |
