How to watch FIFA World Cup games today

Watch Argentina vs. Egypt

The defending champions will be expected to overcome Egypt and advance to the next round, but they did struggle to beat Cape Verde in the Round of 32. Egypt will be banking on a strong performance from Salah, but this matchup might be a step too far for the Pharaohs.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Switzerland vs. Colombia

This is a tricky matchup to predict. Colombia probably have the edge, but Switzerland are one of those teams without a real weakness. They’re strong across the board, but they’ll need to be at their best to stop Luis Díaz and James Rodríguez taking control of this game.

Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
