World Cup Schedule Today: How to Watch Belgium vs Egypt, TV Channels and Live Stream for Monday, June 15, 2026
Spain, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, and Iran all open their World Cup campaigns on a packed day of action featuring four matches across Atlanta, Seattle, Miami, and Los Angeles. Spain begin as one of the tournament favourites and face debutants Cape Verde in the early fixture, aiming to make an immediate statement under Luis de la Fuente after their European Championship triumph. Their cohesion, tactical balance, and depth make them a major threat, with teenage winger Lamine Yamal expected to be central to their attacking play if he is fit.
Belgium take on Egypt in Seattle in a match that could be one of the more competitive contests of the day. Belgium’s celebrated golden generation has aged, but the Red Devils still look dangerous after qualifying unbeaten and finishing their preparations with a 5-0 win over Tunisia. Egypt, led by Mohamed Salah, are looking to change their World Cup record after failing to win a match at the tournament in previous appearances. Salah, now no longer at Liverpool, will be under pressure to deliver a landmark performance for his national team. Jeremy Doku is Belgium’s player to watch, given his pace, direct dribbling, and ability to destabilize defences.
Later, Uruguay meet Saudi Arabia in Miami in a game that will test Marcelo Bielsa’s high-energy style on the World Cup stage. Uruguay have the talent to thrive under Bielsa’s aggressive approach, but the same unpredictability that defines his teams could also make them vulnerable. Saudi Arabia arrive with uncertainty of their own after a recent managerial change and a difficult qualifying campaign. Their chances may depend on discipline and structure against a stronger opponent. Midfielder Federico Valverde will be key for Uruguay, bringing intensity, movement, and forward drive from the centre of the pitch.
The final match of the day sees Iran face New Zealand in Los Angeles. Iran enter the tournament after a difficult build-up that included moving training camp to Mexico amid political tension with the Trump administration. On the pitch, however, they have been one of Asia’s most reliable sides, qualifying comfortably and showing at previous World Cups that they can compete strongly, including a narrow defeat to the United States in 2022. New Zealand also qualified with relative ease, though the standard of their confederation may leave them underprepared for the challenges ahead. They are expected to stay compact and rely on direct attacks. Chris Wood will be their main goal threat.
Broadcast coverage for all four matches is available across major networks and streaming platforms in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
