Spain Uruguay vs Spain: time, TV channel and stadium Group Stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026 · Friday, June 26, 2026 · 20:00 ET · Estadio Akron, Guadalajara.
Match preview Uruguay and Spain close Group H at the Estadio Akron in Guadalajara in a blockbuster that could decide top spot. La Celeste, twice world champions, and La Roja, 2010 winners and title favourites, offer one of the highest-pedigree duels of the final matchday.
Spain will want to finish first true to their possession style; Uruguay, to impose their character and experience. A clash of world champions with qualification likely already set up for both, but with pride and first place at stake.
