Here’s What’s at Stake in Portugal vs Spain — and How to Watch Live From Anywhere

A heavyweight European collision lands four rounds early at the Round of 16 — here’s what’s on the line, and how to stream it free from the US, UK, Australia, or Germany.

THE MATCH

Portugal and Spain — two of the tournament’s pre-summer favorites — meet in the Round of 16 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, kicking off at 3 p.m. ET Monday (8 p.m. BST), a collision few expected this early in the bracket. Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored in Portugal’s 2-1 comeback win over Croatia in the round of 32, leads a side chasing a first World Cup title in what could be his final tournament. Spain arrives red-hot, having demolished Austria 3-0 behind a Mikel Oyarzabal brace, and looks like the form team of the competition’s opening three weeks.

The winner advances to a quarterfinal against the Switzerland-Colombia survivor on July 9-11; the loser’s summer ends in Texas. Given Spain’s 2010 title and Portugal’s 2016 European crown, this round-of-16 tie carries the weight of a final.

Here’s how to watch today’s match – or catch the replay – wherever you are.

HOW TO WATCH

In the US, Portugal vs Spain airs on FOX and Telemundo, with Fox One, Fubo, Sling TV, and Peacock all carrying a live stream. UK viewers get it free on BBC One, with coverage starting around 7:30 p.m. BST ahead of the 8 p.m. kickoff. Australians can watch free via SBS and SBS On Demand, though the early-morning slot (roughly 5 a.m. AEST Tuesday) makes a same-day replay worth planning for. In Germany, the match streams on Deutsche Telekom’s MagentaTV – free-to-air ARD/ZDF coverage is reserved for German national team matches, the tournament opener, and the final, so this tie sits behind a paywall.
