Switzerland Qatar vs Switzerland: time, TV channel and stadium Group Stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026 · Saturday, June 13, 2026 · 15:00 ET · Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara.
Match preview Qatar face a very different World Cup from 2022. That year they debuted as hosts and became the first host nation eliminated in the group stage; now, without home advantage, they are looking to prove they have grown as a footballing power. They debut against Switzerland at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, in a Group B completed by Canada and Bosnia.
Switzerland are one of the most consistent sides in world football: 12 appearances, quarterfinals on three occasions and a recent record of knocking out powers like France and Spain. The disciplined Nati start as group favourites and know a solid start against Qatar is the first step toward sealing their place in the Round of 32.
