The story of this one

New Zealand meet Belgium at BC Place on Friday, June 26, 2026, match 66 of the tournament and the final round of group fixtures, where the permutations get ruthless and every goal can swing a place in the Round of 32. 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.

Vancouver provides the stage — its cable-supported retractable roof makes kickoffs weather-proof on the rainy Pacific coast. Kickoff is 20:00 stadium time (PDT); fans of New Zealand and Belgium can check the exact hour back home in the times panel below.
