The fan zones of the Yvelines are ready for one last lap with France-England, the bronze final of the World Cup 2026 scheduled for Saturday, July 18, 2026, and we’ve once again combed through the (78) department to see who’s firing up their giant screen. A third-place match, in short, a summer Saturday night: a finale for the World Cup many will be watching across the Yvelines.
A word of caution: not every municipality will be showing the third-place match. Some fan zones were opening on a case‑by‑case basis depending on the rounds, so we recommend checking with your town hall or its social media to confirm that the broadcast will indeed go ahead this Saturday evening before you head out.
Let’s be honest, it’s not the poster the Blues were hoping for. Beaten by Spain (0-2) in the semi-final, the France team consoles itself with the third-place match, facing England—also toppled by Argentina (1-2). Still, this France-England clash has bite, with a whiff of the 2022 quarterfinals revenge. Kick-off is at 23:00, French time, from the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, and the game will be shown free-to-air. To know everything, we break down which channel and when to watch the third-place match, and the results and dates for all matches can be found on our side. The official schedule remains available on the FIFA website.
Here's where we stand, fan zone by fan zone, as we write these lines. The statuses are evolving quickly, and we've laid them out clearly to avoid any unnecessary trips.
