Uruguay vs Spain World Cup 2026 Group H showdown
The final Group H match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup takes place on 26 June at Estadio Akron in Zapopan, Mexico. Uruguay, with two draws against Saudi Arabia and Cabo Verde, need a win to keep their knockout hopes alive, while Spain, leader of the group after a 4‑0 win over Saudi Arabia and a goalless draw with Cabo Verde, aim to secure top spot.
Key line‑ups feature Uruguay’s goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, midfielders Rodrigo Bentancur and Federico Valverde, and striker Darwin Núñez, with coach Marcelo Bielsa seeking a decisive result. Spain field Unai Simón, defenders Aymeric Laporte and Marc Cucurella, midfield orchestrator Rodri and forward Lamine Yamal, guided by Luis de la Fuente. The match is officiated by U.S. referee Ismail Elfath.
Live coverage is available on TV and streaming platforms in several countries, including CazéTV (YouTube), TV Globo (Brazil), Chilevisión (Chile), and major services such as Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Paramount+ and DAZN. A win for Spain would guarantee progression as group winners; a Uruguay victory could propel the Celeste into the round of 16, depending on other results.
