FIFA WC 2026: When and where to watch Uruguay vs Spain, know all details
Guadalajara, June 26
Uruguay will face Spain in a must-win match in Group H of the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the Estadio Akron Stadium in Guadalajara on Saturday.
Spain are at the top of Group H after two games, and they will clinch pole position with a victory against Uruguay. A draw would also be enough to finish first in the event that Cabo Verde does not beat Saudi Arabia by a margin of five or more goals. Uruguay, on two points, can grab the top spot over La Roja if they win the clash in Guadalajara.
Uruguay have created enough chances to suggest they should be in a stronger position, but defensive errors and missed opportunities have left them needing a sharp response in Guadalajara.

Live streaming and live telecast of the FIFA World Cup 2026 football matches will be available on the Zee5 platform and app in India. A subscription will be needed.

Finally, Zee5 gets the rights to the World Cup! No more searching for shady streams that buffer at the worst moments. 🙌 That said, I wish the timing was better—work day mein toh dekhna mushkil hoga. But for a match like Uruguay vs Spain, I'll make an exception. And can we talk about how deep Spain's squad is? They literally have 26 players who could start for most teams. Vamos!
Uruguay fan from Mumbai here! 💙 We've been unlucky so far—defensive errors and missed sitters. Spain will dominate possession, but if Uruguay can score on the counter, it's game on. Valverde and Ugarte in midfield need to be monsters today. Unite8 Sports channel is my go-to, but 5:30 AM means I'm setting two alarms! 🔔🔔
I'm just glad the World Cup is on Indian TV this time. Remember the days when we had to rely on Twitter updates or radio commentary? 😅 Anyway, Spain is clearly the favorite here. Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams on the wings are just ridiculous. But Uruguay always fights till the end—don't count them out. Let's hope for a thriller!
Honest opinion: This Uruguay team isn't what it used to be. No Suarez, no Cavani, no Godin—the golden generation is gone. Spain should win comfortably, but football is football. One moment of magic from Nunez or Arrascaeta can change everything. And a small complaint: Can the broadcasters start the pre-match build-up a little earlier? 5:30 AM kya hota hai? 😤
