Argentina's Next World Cup Match: When They Play Again in the 2026 Tournament

Following their epic victory against Egypt in the World Cup 2026 Round of 16, the Argentinian national team is now focused on their next challenge: the quarterfinals. Lionel Scaloni's squad, still dreaming of defending their title, will take on Switzerland, who advanced by defeating Colombia on penalties.

The highly anticipated match is scheduled for Saturday, July 11, at 10 p.m. Argentinian time, and will be played at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, United States. Fans can follow the action live on various television channels, including Telefé, TyC Sports, TV Pública, DSports, and Flow channel 109, as well as through streaming platforms Disney+ Premium and Paramount+. Real-time statistics and minute-by-minute updates will be available on canchallena.com.

Lionel Messi is currently the tournament's top scorer with eight goals, showcasing his continued brilliance on the world stage. Should Argentina overcome Switzerland, they would advance to the semifinals, scheduled for Wednesday, July 15, at 4 p.m. Argentinian time in Atlanta's Mercedes Benz Stadium. Their potential opponents in that stage would be the winner of the match between England and Norway.

The path to the final remains complex, with numerous strong teams like France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, the United States, and Belgium also vying for the title. If Argentina reaches the final, they will play on Sunday, July 19, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. If they lose the semifinal, they will compete for third place on Saturday, July 18, in Miami.
