On Tuesday, July 14, 2026, the Blues take on Spain in the World Cup 2026 semi-final at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, near Dallas. A clash that falls on Bastille Day, with a spot in the final at stake. Good news for fans: the match is available for free streaming on M6+, in addition to free-to-air on M6 and on beIN Sports 1 for subscribers, with kick-off at 21:00 French time. We tell you how to catch every moment of the game from your phone, tablet, or TV.
The two teams land in the semifinals brimming with confidence. France, led by Didier Deschamps, swept aside Morocco 2-0 in the quarters, paced by a Kylian Mbappé who has lit up the tournament from day one, with Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise providing the support. Spain, the reigning European champions, on their side knocked out Belgium 2-1 after having dominated Portugal in the previous round, thanks to Fabián Ruiz and Mikel Merino.
It's hard not to sense a whiff of revenge in this showdown: La Roja has won the last two official meetings with the Blues, in the Euro 2024 semi-final (2-1) and then in the 2025 Nations League (5-4). Another sticking point for the Spanish camp is prodigy Lamine Yamal, who turns 19 the day before the match. Here’s how to watch this clash in streaming.
