BelgiengegenIran

Belgium meet Iran at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, June 21, 2026, match 38 of the tournament and the pivot of the group — by now both sides know exactly what a win is worth. Group G sends its top two through automatically, with the eight best third-placed teams across all twelve groups also advancing — so neither side can afford a flat ninety minutes.

Los Angeles provides the stage — one of the most expensive stadiums ever built, with a translucent canopy roof over an open-air bowl. Kickoff is 12:00 stadium time (PDT); fans of Belgium and Iran can check the exact hour back home in the times panel below.
