How to watch FIFA World Cup games today
Watch Portugal vs. Spain
Cristiano Ronaldo leads Portugal in what is almost certainly the superstar’s final World Cup campaign. But it won’t be easy getting to the quarter finals. Spain are defending European Championship winners and have their own superstar in 18-year-old Lamine Yamal. It’s truly a battle between two powerhouses. Expect fireworks — not to mention goals.
Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

But his one-match ban has been controversially lifted, so USA will be at full strength against Belgium. Can USA ride the wave of home support and reach the quarter finals for the first time since 2002?
