The 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinals are set to air on FOX or FOX Sports, with streaming options available via the FOX One and FOX Sports apps.
The tournament, which began on June 11, is being hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and will culminate with the final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Today's semifinal features a high-stakes clash between England and Argentina at Atlanta Stadium. England, a 17-time World Cup participant, lifted the trophy once as hosts in 1966.
The Three Lions, guided by star striker Harry Kane-a player with over 500 career goals-have a mixed history of quarter-final runs, memorable semi-finals, and penalty shootout disappointments. Argentina, making its 19th appearance, enters as the reigning champion after its third title in Qatar 2022, with previous wins in 1978 (as hosts) and 1986. The Albiceleste are led by legendary forward Lionel Messi, a six-time World Cup participant and two-time winner of the Golden Ball award.
The semifinal stage follows single-elimination rules: matches are 90 minutes plus stoppage time; if tied, 30 minutes of extra time are played; if still level, a penalty shootout decides the winner. The two semifinal losers will contest the Third-Place Playoff on July 18 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The expanded 48-team format features 104 matches from June 11 to July 19 across the three host nations.
Weather advisories have been issued for parts of the Northeast United States, including Delaware County, Philadelphia, and numerous counties in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and surrounding states from Wednesday 10:00 AM EDT until Wednesday 8:00 PM EDT, though these do not affect the match venues directly. Fans are encouraged to check local listings and streaming platforms for live coverage as the world's biggest soccer tournament reaches its decisive phase
