16:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Czechia v South Africa (Kick-off 5.00pm). Jacqui Hurley presents coverage of the Group A match at Atlanta Stadium in the USA. Czechia have only appeared at one previous World Cup finals since Czechoslovakia was dissolved in 1992, that being the 2006 tournament in Germany when they were eliminated in the group stage after finishing third. However, they have qualified for every European Championships to be held in that timespan, so their squad will not come into this competition as tournament novices. Bafana Bafana have the advantage of having competed at a major tournament just six months ago at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, where they progressed from a group that also contained Egypt, Angola and Zimbabwe, before being eliminated by Cameroon in the last-16. Nevertheless, the bulk of their squad will be battle hardened from their experience as they seek a place in the knockout stage of a World Cup for the first time in their nation's history |
| 19:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Switzerland v Bosnia and Herzegovina (Kick-off 8.00pm). Jacqui Hurley presents coverage of the Group B match at Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood, USA. The Swiss won two of their three group matches in Qatar four years ago, overcoming both Cameroon and Serbia as they finished second to Brazil on account of their loss to the South Americans, but they then suffered a heavy 6-1 loss to Portugal in the last-16. However, having progressed beyond the group stage at every World Cup and Euro tournament finals since 2014, the Rossocrociati will have high hopes of continuing that streak. The Bosnians failed to progress from the group stage at their only previous finals in Brazil in 2014, when a 3-1 victory over Iran in their final group game proved to be too little, too late after suffering losses to Argentina and Nigeria, and prior to this event that remains their only experience of major tournament football | |
