The Moment That Defined This Week — And How to Watch What Comes Next

Morocco’s stunning takedown of co-host Canada headlined a wild Round of 16 — here’s how to catch every match left this week.

Morocco delivered the week’s signature moment, dismantling co-host Canada 3-0 in the Round of 16 to reach the World Cup quarterfinals for the second consecutive tournament. Four years after their run to the Qatar 2022 semifinals stunned the sport, the Atlas Lions showed that breakthrough was no fluke — eliminating one of the tournament’s three hosts in front of a shell-shocked home crowd and setting up a quarterfinal meeting with France on Thursday.

Morocco’s win wasn’t the only jolt to the bracket this week. Cape Verde, the smallest nation ever to reach a World Cup, pushed Argentina all the way to extra time before falling 3-2, and Egypt eliminated Australia on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Between the upsets and the eliminations, this was the round that reshuffled the path to the final.

Here’s what to look forward to this week — and how to make sure you don’t miss any of it.

Week Ahead: Streaming Guide

The Round of 16 wraps up over the next two days: Portugal vs. Spain and USA vs. Belgium on Monday, then Argentina vs. Egypt and Switzerland vs. Colombia on Tuesday. The stakes climb further on Thursday, when France meets Morocco in the tournament’s first quarterfinal. All five matches air in the U.S. on FOX and Telemundo, free over the air with an antenna or standard cable package. Streaming through the FOX Sports App requires a TV-provider login, and Peacock’s Spanish-language coverage needs a Premium subscription.
