Tunisia Sweden vs Tunisia: time, TV channel and stadium Group Stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026 · Sunday, June 14, 2026 · 22:00 ET · Estadio BBVA, Monterrey.
Match preview Sweden return to the World Cup with the tradition of one of Europe's historic sides: 12 appearances and a runners-up finish in 1958, when they were hosts. They debut against Tunisia at the Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, in a demanding Group F completed by the Netherlands and Japan. The Swedes are looking to reclaim a leading role and fight for a place in the Round of 32.
Tunisia, one of Africa's most regular qualifiers, face the challenge of finally clearing the group stage, their long-standing unfinished task. The Eagles of Carthage trust their defensive solidity and intensity to trouble bigger names. A key opener against Sweden to dream of advancing in a brutal group.
