FIFA World Cup 2026 Semifinals: Full Schedule, Dates, Times & Stadiums
Four Teams Remain: France, Spain, England, and Argentina Battle for Final Spots
The 2026 FIFA World Cup has reached its most electrifying stage — the semifinals. France will face Spain on July 14, while England takes on Argentina on July 15, with both matches kicking off at 3:00 PM ET (21:00 CET). This marks the first World Cup semifinals featuring two European heavyweights and two former champions simultaneously.
Argentina enters as defending champion, France brings formidable knockout pedigree, Spain relies on rejuvenated tiki-taka, and England carries hopes for a second star.
Semifinals Schedule: Matchups and Venues
The semifinal round spans two days in iconic American stadiums:
- France vs. Spain — July 14 — 3:00 PM ET — MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey
- England vs. Argentina — July 15 — 3:00 PM ET — SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California
MetLife Stadium, home of the NFL's New York Giants and Jets, has drawn massive crowds throughout the tournament. SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, one of the most technologically advanced venues ever built, hosts the second semifinal with capacity exceeding 70,000.
France vs. Spain: Clash of European Titans
France and Spain meet in the semifinals for the first time since 2006. Les Bleus, under Didier Deschamps, have shown remarkable resilience. Kylian Mbappé remains the tournament's most dangerous attacker, while Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni control midfield.
Spain has re-emerged as a genuine contender under Luis de la Fuente. Their young midfield trio of Pedri, Gavi, and Rodri has dominated possession in every match. According to match analysis, Spain leads the tournament in pass completion rate at 91.3%, while France counters with the highest counterattack conversion rate.
England vs. Argentina: History, Pride, and Glory
England and Argentina share one of football's most storied rivalries, dating back to the 1966 and 1986 World Cups. Now they meet with a place in the 2026 final on the line.
Argentina enters as reigning champion, led by Lionel Messi's final World Cup campaign — though at 39, his role has shifted to playmaker. Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez have combined for seven goals this tournament. England's path has been methodical under Gareth Southgate. Jude Bellingham has been the tournament's standout player, while Harry Kane sits second in the Golden Boot race with five goals.
Knockout Path: How They Got Here
France: Group A winners → beat Saudi Arabia 3–1 (Round of 16) → beat Portugal 2–0 (quarterfinals).
Spain: Group B winners → beat Mexico 2–1 (Round of 16) → beat Germany 4–2 on penalties (quarterfinals).
England: Group C winners → beat Senegal 3–0 (Round of 16) → beat Brazil 1–0 (quarterfinals).
Argentina: Group D winners → beat Ghana 2–0 (Round of 16) → beat Netherlands 4–2 on penalties (quarterfinals).
What to Watch For
- Mbappé vs. Spanish defense: Can Spain contain the tournament's fastest attacker?
- Messi's final push: One win away from a second consecutive final.
- Bellingham's moment: At 23, a defining performance could seal his legacy.
- Venue atmosphere: Both stadiums expected to host sellout crowds above 75,000.
