June 22, 2026: the full day's schedule
Per the confirmed fixture list, four staggered kickoffs span the country — you can follow all of them on TV, but the venues run from Texas to California, so pick one if you're attending in person.
| Kickoff (ET) | Match | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 1 p.m. | Argentina vs. Austria (Group J) | AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX |
| 5 p.m. | France vs. Iraq (Group I) | Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA |
| 8 p.m. | Norway vs. Senegal (Group I) | MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ |
| 11 p.m. | Jordan vs. Algeria (Group J) | Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, CA |
Match-by-match: what's at stake
Group J's reigning champions headline first: Argentina vs. Austriaat AT&T Stadium could send Argentina through with a game to spare, while Jordan vs. Algeriaat Levi's is effectively a play-in for second place. In Group I, France vs. Iraq in Philadelphia pits the favorites against an Iraq side needing points, and Norway vs. Senegalat MetLife — the final venue — is the night's headliner, with Erling Haaland facing one of Africa's strongest teams. See the wider Group I and Group J previews, plus the full Matchday 2 schedule.
Getting to the four venues
Transit makes three of the four easy: Lincoln Financial Fieldis on SEPTA's Broad Street Line, MetLife connects via NJ Transit and the Meadowlands shuttle, and Levi's Stadium sits beside VTA light rail. AT&T Stadiumin Arlington has no rail to the door, so plan shuttles, rideshare, or parking — and arrive early for the Texas heat.
