This Friday, July 10, 2026, Spain takes on Belgium in the World Cup 2026 quarterfinals in Los Angeles, fighting for a spot in the final four. A 100% European showdown between two teams that have nothing left to prove, airing at a prime time for French fans. Good news: this match is available free for streaming on M6+, in addition to the free-to-air broadcast on M6 and the subscribers-only coverage on beIN Sports, with kick-off at 21:00 French time. Here’s how to catch all the action from your phone, tablet, or TV.
Both teams arrive in peak form for this showdown. Spain, led by Luis de la Fuente, is riding an impressive run with a clean sheet, highlighted by a stoppage-time winner against Portugal (1-0) thanks to Merino. Belgium, captained by Rudi Garcia, hit hard in the previous round, routing the United States (4-1), with Kevin De Bruyne once again proving indispensable. The only blemish on the Belgian side: Amadou Onana is ruled out for the rest of the tournament with a knee injury.
