SUMMARY:FIFA World Cup 2026: IR Iran vs Belgium
DESCRIPTION:Belgium face Iran in a Group G fixture at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Sunday 21 June 2026. The Red Devils meet Team Melli at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood\, California\, in one of the opening round’s most intriguing matchups. \nWhat is the FIFA World Cup 2026?\nThe 2026 FIFA World Cup is the 23rd edition of the men’s tournament and the first to feature 48 teams. The format consists of 12 groups of four\, with the top two from each group and the eight best third-placed sides progressing to a round of 32. The tournament runs from 11 June to 19 July 2026 across the United States\, Canada and Mexico. \nWhen is Iran vs Belgium?\nThe match kicks off on Sunday 21 June 2026 at noon Pacific Time in Inglewood\, which is 8pm in the United Kingdom. It forms part of a weekend packed with Group G and Group H opening fixtures. \nWhere is Iran vs Belgium?\nThe game is played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood\, Los Angeles County\, California. Opened in 2020\, the 70\,000-capacity stadium is home to the NFL’s Rams and Chargers and features a distinctive translucent canopy roof. It is one of the centrepiece venues of the 2026 tournament\, hosting eight matches across the group and knockout rounds. \nKey Contenders\nBelgium enter the tournament aiming to rebuild after a disappointing 2022 campaign marked the end of their so-called golden generation. Kevin De Bruyne remains a key figure\, with Jeremy Doku\, Romelu Lukaku\, Youri Tielemans and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois alongside younger talents such as Arthur Vermeeren. \nIran qualify comfortably from Asia and arrive as one of the continent’s most consistent teams. Mehdi Taremi leads the line\, supported by Sardar Azmoun and Alireza Jahanbakhsh\, with a squad that has reached six of the last seven World Cups but never progressed past the group stage. \nHow to Watch\nBBC and ITV share UK coverage of the 2026 World Cup with streams on BBC iPlayer and ITVX. Fox Sports carries the English-language broadcast in the United States via Fox and FS1\, while Telemundo and Peacock cover the match in Spanish.
