France vs Spain: Where to Watch World Cup 2026 Semi-Final on July 14
The clash between France and Spain in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final promises intense action. These two European powerhouses — with France boasting two World Cup titles and Spain holding the current European champion crown — meet in Texas for a spot in the final. The match kicks off at 21:00 CET on July 14, 2026.
Form and Road to the Semi-Final
France arrive here unbeaten, dominating Group I with nine points. They then shut out Sweden (3-0), Paraguay (1-0), and Morocco (2-0) in knockout rounds without letting in a goal. This marks their eighth World Cup semi-final, second only to Italy’s record. A victory would send them to a third straight final and offer a chance to avenge their penalty shootout loss to Argentina in Qatar.
Spain had a slow start with a 0-0 draw against Cape Verde but finished top of Group H with seven points. Their knockout performance has been sharp, defeating Austria (3-0), Portugal (1-0), and Belgium (2-1). Mikel Merino scored late winners in the last two matches. Spain remain unbeaten in regulation time over 36 games (26 wins, 10 draws). Winning this game would tie Italy's record of 37 undefeated matches.
Head-to-Head History
Spain holds a slight advantage historically, winning 18 out of 38 encounters, including seven of the last ten. Their recent victories include the Euro 2024 semi-final (2-1) and the 2025 UEFA Nations League final (5-4). France’s Ousmane Dembélé leads their tournament scoring with five goals, while Spain’s Lamine Yamal has netted three goals in two previous matches against France, aiming to shine again.
