Co-hosts Canada face Qatar in their second Group B match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
Although both countries picked up their first ever points at the tournament in their opening match, one may have been less pleased than the other. After watching fellow hosts Mexico get the party going on opening night, Canada took center stage against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto 24 hours later, but could only manage a 1-1 draw thanks to Cyle Larin’s equalizer 121 seconds after coming on as a second-half substitute. However, Jesse Marsch’s side grew into the game and will now aim for their first ever World Cup victory, against Qatar in Vancouver. The Canucks could still be without captain Alphonso Davies as the Bayern Munich player continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
Qatar would have been delighted with their own first World Cup point against Switzerland in their opening game, with a combination of Boualem Khoukhi and Swiss defender Miro Muheim heading home deep into stoppage time to grab a 1-1 draw. It means their second World Cup has already been more successful than their debut four years ago, when they crashed out after two games in the earliest ever exit from a host nation. Julen Lopetegui will be delighted that his side’s qualification hopes are very much alive and he will be hoping for more goalkeeping brilliance from Mahmoud Abunada after his six crucial saves against Nati.
A win for either side would surely guarantee a place in the last 32.
