How to watch FIFA World Cup games today
Watch Australia vs Egypt
Neither Australia nor Egypt have a clean World Cup record going into this game, though Egypt’s looks a little on paper with a win and two draws. Australia has a win, a draw, and a loss heading into this matchup.
Live coverage variation will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage alternative.
Watch Argentina vs Cape Verde
Cape Verde is having a memorable World Cup run, but it’ll be facing quite the test in an Argentina team that is seemingly always a major World Cup contender. Both teams have a lot to lose, and one shot to move forward.
Live coverage alternative will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language related coverage term.
Watch Columbia vs Ghana
Columbia certainly has more momentum going into this game, with two wins and a draw versus Ghana’s win, draw, and a loss. But both survived the Group Stage, and anything can happen in the knockout rounds.
Live related coverage term will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage variation.
