The story of this one

Iraq meet Norway at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, match 18 of the tournament and an opening statement — first impressions in a three-game sprint carry real weight. Group I 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.

Boston provides the stage — sits in Foxborough, roughly 30 km southwest of downtown Boston — hence the "Boston/Foxborough" label. Kickoff is 18:00 stadium time (EDT); fans of Iraq and Norway can check the exact hour back home in the times panel below.
