After a brisk 3-0 Round of 16 win over Sweden, the France squad keeps its march going this Saturday, July 4, 2026 with a Round of 16 clash against Paraguay, in Philadelphia, United States. On the other side, the Guaraníes pulled off a surprise in the previous round by knocking out Germany on penalties. Good news for supporters: the match is shown live on free-to-air and free streaming, accessible on TV as well as on your phone or tablet. We’ll show you how to follow every moment of this France–Paraguay wherever you are.
The kickoff is set for 11 p.m. French time, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, on July 4 — the United States’ Independence Day. The atmosphere promises to be electric both in the stands and in front of the screens.
Watch out for the trap: third in their group behind the United States, Paraguay knocked out Germany after a nail-biting penalty shootout. A rugged, disciplined side, exactly the profile that can derail a favorite. Nostalgics will recall the 1998 World Cup: a golden goal from Laurent Blanc in extra time had to spare these same Paraguayans in the round of 16.
