Spain’s quest for glory at the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues with a round of 32 match against Austria in Los Angeles – and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
La Roja sealed top spot in Group H with a 1-0 win over Uruguay, but did not come through the bruises unscathed. Midfielder Yeremy Pino suffered a shoulder injury that has ruled him out of the rest of the tournament, while winger Nico Williams has suffered a relapse of his groin problem. However, head coach Luis de la Fuente does not lack quality. He will again look to 18-year-old superstar Lamine Yamal and Barcelona team-mate Pedri as the 2010 winners aim to take another step towards a second world crown.
Austria reached the last 32 in the most dramatic fashion imaginable as Sasa Kalajdzic’s 96th-minute equalizer secured a 3-3 draw with Algeria that kept them in the tournament. Ralf Rangnick’s side had conceded what they thought was the goal that would send them home just three minutes earlier and they must now make the most of their lifeline. Having already felt the power of Lionel Messi and Argentina in Group J, head coach Rangnick must now find a way to stop Yamal & Co.
The prize for the winner is a round of 16 with Portugal or Croatia next Monday.
