How to watch FIFA World Cup games today

Watch Canada vs. Morocco

Is Canada’s historic run a result of lucky breaks or genuine, underrated talent? Team Morocco will provide the ultimate proof: take them down and immortalize your place in soccer history, or else lose and satisfy the gambling odds. Canada’s leading scorer, Jonathan David, will need to be in top form here against a Moroccan defense that has allowed just two goals in the group stage thus far.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Paraguay vs. France

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are drawing big crowds, but the consensus best player in this year’s World Cup is France’s own Kylian Mbappé, who knows full well that victory here is expected, and a loss would be devastating, not only to France but to his legacy as a player. Team Paraguay, on the other hand, has nothing to lose and everything to gain from a victory against the favored French team. But you underestimate Paraguay at your peril — just ask the Germans! — and if they can manage to keep the scores low late into the match, anything can happen.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
